Kalmar offers various empty container handling machines. There are various models 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.
In order for money to be earned and a task to be done successfully, the containers has to be moved and stacked fast, safely and efficiently.

Having an unobstructed field of vision also helps to guarantee extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
