1. What is a standard straddle carrier?

A standard straddle carrier is a self‑propelled, heavy‑lift vehicle that straddles its load (typically ISO containers or oversized cargo) and transports or stacks it within ports, terminals, and industrial yards. Its rigid portal frame provides excellent stability without the need for outriggers.

2. What lifting capacities are available?

We offer models ranging from 10 tons up to over 80 tons under the spreader. Typical capacities are 30t, 35t, 40t, 50t, 60t, and 80t. Custom capacities can also be engineered to meet specific requirements.

3. How high can it stack containers?

The standard straddle carrier can stack containers up to 3‑high, 4‑high, or 5‑high (1‑over‑2 to 1‑over‑4), depending on the model and configuration. Some heavy‑duty variants can reach 6‑high.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

The Standard Straddle Carrier is a rugged, self‑propelled heavy‑lift vehicle designed to transport and stack containers, oversized cargo, and industrial components across ports, terminals, and heavy industrial sites. Its rigid, portal‑style frame straddles the load, providing exceptional stability and precise load control without the need for outriggers or stabilisers.

Built with high‑strength steel box‑section beams and engineered to comply with FEM and UNI EN standards, the Standard Straddle Carrier delivers reliable, continuous performance in the most demanding working conditions. It is available in a wide range of lifting capacities (from 10 to 80+ tons) and stacking heights (typically 3‑high to 5‑high, with options for 6‑high).

APPLICATION

1.Ports & Container Terminals
Efficient stacking and horizontal transport of ISO containers between quay and yard, as well as vessel discharge and loading operations. It ensures fast turnaround for feeder vessels and mega‑ships alike. The machine’s high stacking density and rapid travel speed directly boost terminal throughput.

2.Intermodal Rail & Road Depots
Quick transfer of containers between trains, trucks, and storage yards, especially valuable for high‑volume hubs where speed and reliability are critical. Its compact footprint and multi‑mode steering allow fluid operation even in congested rail sidings.

3.Industrial & Manufacturing Plants
Movement of heavy machinery, steel coils, precast concrete elements, and other bulky finished products within factory premises and assembly areas. The straddle carrier eliminates the need for multiple crane lifts, streamlining production workflows.

4.Construction & Civil Engineering
Handling of tunnel segments, bridge girders, modular building units, and heavy structural steel on large‑scale infrastructure projects. With precise load control, the machine places components accurately, reducing alignment time on site.

FEATURES

The all‑steel box‑section frame provides outstanding torsional rigidity and durability, ensuring safe handling of maximum loads even under continuous, high‑intensity operation.

Available with capacities from 10 tons up to over 80 tons and stacking heights of 3 to 6 containers high (1‑over‑2 to 1‑over‑5), the machine adapts to the most demanding yard densities.

The adjustable spreader handles 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft ISO containers securely, with twist locks that engage container corner castings for positive attachment.

Choose from diesel‑electric, hybrid, or fully battery‑electric configurations. The modular design allows easy future upgrades and reduces fuel consumption and emissions, especially with electric options.
