Kalmar has been making machine that is specially adapted to the handling of empty containers for numerous years. Their empty container handlers are now operating and functioning all over the globe. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are different units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, client's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, offering optimum balance of economy.
The containers have to be stacked and moved quickly, safely and efficiently, in order for money to be made and the task to be done. Other than driving fast and safe, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. Overall, it is a time-consuming job which needs accurate positioning.
These equipment are normally placed in tough working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the spreader and the mast, in combination with strain on the abilities throughout the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics comprise their high lifting speeds, overall stability and extreme flexibility. The single handling concept starts at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These machines feature twistlock attachments that are a common item on numerous Kalmar machinery throughout the world. Several of the key factors to consider when choosing single stacking equipment are the high demands on selectivity and the limitations in ground space.
Double Stacking
Double stacking the containers is one more important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling operations.
