Heavy Duty Materials Handling Equipment and Services
About Us
Kalmar is a global provider of heavy duty materials handling equipment and services to ports, inter-modal traffic, terminals and demanding industrial customers. Kalmar focuses on supplying handling solutions that enable customers to operate with a high level of efficiency and reliability. Every fourth container or trailer transfer at terminals around the world is handled by a Kalmar machine. Kalmar is part of Cargotec Corporation, which is the world’s leading provider of cargo handling solutions for ships, ports, terminals and local distribution. Cargotec’s net sales were EUR 1.9 billion in 2004. Cargotec shares are listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Kalmar Industries purchased Bartlett Lifting Devices in 1999 to round out their product line for the lifting and moving trailers in all sorts of industries. Bartlett has been designing, manufacturing and selling elevating 5th wheels since the “50’s”. The Bartlett product transforms an over the road truck into terminal tractors or spotting tractors for a fraction of the price of commercial terminal tractors. A Bartlett conversion can be used for over the road service to transport loaded trailers down public highways with the same performance as an over the road truck. Bartlett 5th wheels are used in freight distribution, manufacturing plants, container movement, and dumping of various commodities using our mid-lifting product. There are 2 basic products, the standard elevating 5th wheel and the mid-lift 5th wheel. The standard 5th wheel will raise the front of a trailer 13 in. to 18.5 in. It has the capability of moving trailers with a gross combined weight (GCW, combined weight of trailer and payload) of 60,000 lbs to 120,000 lbs. The mid-lift product has the ability of raising a trailer 72 in. (6 ft.) and a GCW rating of 60,000 lbs. It is used to dump trailers where steep angles are not needed to dump the load, such as fruit and vegetables, plastic pellets, house modules, tankers, and some grains at a lot lower cost than having dump trailers. The mid-lift can be used in conjunction with a pit to increase the dumping angle for lower cost than dumping trailers or high lift 5th wheels and far more safer. Vibrators can be used along with the trailer to dislodge materials that tend to bridge and create ledges or materials that tend to cling to the trailer surfaces such as damp materials.
