Why Choose Our Straddle Carrier?

跨运车1_1.webp

1. Unmatched Structural Integrity

Strong Beams: Precision-engineered one-time forming U-frame beams (no welding stress) ensure lower dead weight, superior vertical/horizontal rigidity, and reduced wheel loads.
End Carriages: Equipped with motor-reducer-wheel driven systems and soft-start motors for smooth, stable operation.

2. Superior Durability & Performance

Heat-Resistant Design: Thermal-protective coating on the main beam enhances longevity in high-temperature environments.
Premium Electrical Systems: Siemens/Schneider components, PLC controls, Inverter drives, and CMMS fault monitoring ensure reliability.
NDT Inspected Welds: Automatic welding + non-destructive testing (NDT) guarantees structural safety.

3. Customizable & Adaptable Design

Multi-Size Spreader: Handles 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers; custom designs available.
Rubber Tyres: High-abrasion-resistant rubber with tyre protection devices for flexible turning and long service life.
4 Steering Modes: Straight, 90° lateral, oblique, and pivot/Ackerman steering for unmatched maneuverability.

4. Operator Comfort & Safety

360° Visibility Cabin: Ergonomic design with built-in air conditioning and low-noise operation.
Winch Trolley: Anti-gnawing rails, quiet running, and fail-safe braking systems.

5. Port & Logistics Efficiency

Fast Container Handling: Combines yard bridge precision with pickup truck agility for short/medium hauls.
Space-Saving: Straddle design optimizes yard space vs. traditional cranes.
Versatility: Ideal for ports, depots, and intermodal terminals with complex layouts.

APPLICATION SCENARIO

The Straddle Carrier is a versatile heavy-duty transport machine designed to streamline container and cargo handling in demanding environments. Below are its primary applications, demonstrating its efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability in real-world operations.

1. Ports & Container Terminals

Container Stacking & Retrieval:

Stacks containers up to 4 high, maximizing yard space efficiency.
Handles 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers with precision.

Intermodal Operations:

Transfers containers between ships, trucks, and trains seamlessly.
Reduces reliance on multiple handling equipment (e.g., reach stackers, RTGs).

High-Density Storage:

Straddle design allows movement in narrow aisles, optimizing terminal layouts.

Key Benefit: 30% faster container turnaround vs. traditional yard cranes.

2. Logistics & Freight Hubs

Inland Container Depots (ICDs):

Efficiently moves containers between rail yards and warehouses.

Cross-Docking Facilities:

Accelerates loading/unloading for just-in-time logistics.

Cold Chain Logistics:

Equipped with refrigerated container (reefer) handling capabilities.

Key Benefit: Reduces ground congestion with direct container pickup/drop-off.

3. Shipyards & Marine Logistics

Heavy Cargo Handling:

Transports ship components, engines, and oversized cargo.

Boat/Yacht Movement:

Custom spreader attachments for safe lifting of marine vessels.

Workshop Logistics:

Delivers materials to assembly bays with pinpoint accuracy.

Key Benefit: Replaces multiple machines (forklifts + cranes) in confined spaces.

4. Industrial & Manufacturing Plants

Steel & Heavy Machinery:

Handles coils, pipes, and bulky industrial loads.

Automotive Logistics:

Moves car frames, engines, and containers in assembly plants.

Warehouse Management:

Integrates with automated storage systems (AS/RS) for seamless inventory flow.

Key Benefit: Single-operator efficiency reduces labor costs.

5. Specialized Applications

Military & Defense:

Deploys in naval bases for rapid equipment transport.

Disaster Relief:

Mobilizes emergency containers (medical supplies, shelters) in rugged terrain.

Mining & Heavy Industries:

Custom off-road models for mineral transport in remote sites.

Key Benefit: Adapts to extreme conditions (heat-resistant coatings, all-terrain tires).
