Kalmar has been developing machinery which is particularly used in the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are nowadays operating and functioning all over the world. Kalmar offers a huge variety of empty container handling equipment. There are various models in order to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
The containers need to be stacked and moved fast, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be earned and the job to be done. Aside from driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming job that needs accurate positioning.
The machines are under such a rigorous working atmosphere that this places heavy demands on the stability of the equipment, spreader and mast, along with extreme user friendly abilities during the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machines, the main characteristics include their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on numerous Kalmar equipment all over the globe. Some of the key factors to take into consideration when thinking about single stacking machines are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is another vital step in increasing the production in the empty container handling operations. For an empty container handler, the double stacking situation may present an extremely demanding application. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 unit which was specifically made to perform the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness which tops selectivity demands.
