This is specially designed for empty container handling and promises not only advantages in terms of safety and sustainability, but also a significant increase in productivity and efficiency in container handling.
Now that the stacker has been in operation for a few weeks in one of the company’s empty container depots, an initial positive conclusion can already be drawn.
The new addition is the KALMAR DCG80-45ES5 empty container stacker, which enables fast and safe transport of heavy loads.
It is able to stack containers up to five high, so that the available space in the depot can be used in the most efficient way possible.
The special steering axle with a large wheel angle creates the ideal conditions for precise work in the tightest of spaces.
The built-in engine complies with the latest EU Stage 5 emission standard for off-road vehicles. The stacker also has a special cab with large front and rear windows that provide with ideal visibility in all directions for efficient and, above all, safe container handling.
Automated assistance systems also help to optimise handling processes and minimize errors. Furthermore, it is equipped with a number of safety systems, including cameras and special sensors.
All these features help to prevent damage caused by collisions.
Another key advantage of the new heavy-duty stacker is the integrated soft landing system on the spreader, which automatically reduces the lowering speed when approaching a container. This is very gentle on both the machine and the container, as it avoids strong impacts that can often cause damage.
With the new heavy-duty stacker, Dinges Logistics will be able to increase its handling capacity, minimise downtime and reduce overall turnaround time at the container terminal.
The resulting improved operational processes not only lead to cost savings, but also increase efficiency and competitiveness.
This investment emphasises the company’s commitment to continuous process improvement in terms of safety and sustainability.
In addition, this investment illustrates Dinges Logistics’ efforts to continually optimize its container depot services as part of its value-added service offering, thereby providing customers with a comprehensive and reliable service.
