Straddle Carriers: Efficient Container Handling for Modern Ports

Straddle carriers are highly specialized machines designed to efficiently transport and stack containers in ports, terminals and logistics hubs. They can lift containers straight from the ground and move containers ranging up to 90 tons without further attachment to a crane or lifting apparatus. They are very efficient, as they do not require additional handling of the container outside of just moving it. Straddle carriers have excellent maneuverability and stability while moving large loads, and can operate in tight working environments. They also allow cargo pinning time to be quicker and better streamline cargo movements in busy port environments, reducing congestion. Straddle carriers are one of the most critical container handling equipment to assist in streamlining cargo operations, operational productivity, and the flow of cargo in global trade networks.
