Empty container handlers are designed to transport, lift, and stack freight and shipping containers. They are able to lift as much as 22,000 pounds. Dependent on the container size, an empty container handler can also stack (from ground level) to 9 containers in height.
Empty container handlers are essential equipment when it comes to the transportation of containers. They are used widely in the transshipment and stacking of containers in railways, docks, ports, and yards. These empty container handlers for sale feature fast handling and stacking speeds, layers that stack high, heightened flexibility and operating efficiency, along with space-saving characteristics.
How Do Empty Container Handlers Work?
Empty container stackers use spreaders to achieve the transportation and stacking of 40 feet and 20 feet empty containers. They are able to stack to a height of 9 layers, with reliable and flexible performance. This equipment serves multiple purposes when it comes to transportation as well as for unpacking, unloading, loading, and yard stacking operations.
Since the spreader lifts in a vertical direction along a mast, empty container handlers are only able to stack outer containers, which means they cannot be used for cross-container operations.
Features Of The Empty Container Handlers
The empty container handlers are classified into two types, which include battery-driven or diesel-driven machines. In comparison to reach stackers, the empty container stackers cost less making them an economical option for the transshipment and stacking of empty containers.
Reliable And Safe
With the use of a hydraulic self-circulating independent parallel motor, heat-balance temperature, and heat dissipation technology of a hydraulic system that remains under 80 ℃, operators can work in extreme temperatures environments, without the need to stop the machine. This assists with saving work costs and time.
Efficient And Smart
With the adoption of a large dual displacement pump, a load-sensitive hydraulic system, dual-pump flow regeneration, and confluence differential technology, empty container handlers have a lift speed that is 5-10% higher when compared to other types of container handlers.
The entire machine features an optimized layout along with continuous and reliable operation abilities. The brake system of these machines detects what is going on behind the 45 ton reach stacker with the use of infrared and radar probes, as well as when an obstacle or person is approaching.
Comfortable Operation
The layout of the control elements is convenient with the buttons that are in easy reach.
Smooth Operation
The variable-dual pump load-sensing valve-controlled system automatically adjusts output flow when it comes to the oil-pump to match the demand of the load. The output of the electro-proportional load is small and stable, with a minimum lifting speed of less than 1.5mm/s.
Environmental Protection And Energy Saving
Industrious energy-saving power-matching technology. In the way of detecting the requirements of users operating speed and the hydraulic systems’ pressure, this equipment automatically realizes the power requirements, while actively adjusting and controlling the speed of the engine to ensure the engine operates in an ideal operating area, making it energy saving and highly efficient. The oil pump’s output flow is also automatically adjusted according to the demand of the loads to realize increased-precision flow control while avoiding overflow losses.
