60 Ton Battery Powered Straddle Carrier Project for Taiwan
A straddle carrier is an essential piece of material handling equipment widely used in ports, shipyards, and industrial logistics yards. It is designed to transport and stack heavy cargo efficiently while providing flexible mobility and stable lifting performance. Recently, our company successfully secured an order from a long-term client in Taiwan for a 60-ton battery-powered straddle carrier, demonstrating once again our capability in delivering customized heavy-duty lifting solutions for international customers.
Project Background and Customer Cooperation
The customer is an established partner who first contacted us in June 2025. Since the beginning of our cooperation, the client has shown strong confidence in our engineering capabilities, product quality, and project management experience. Through continuous communication and technical discussions, we have been able to provide equipment solutions that match the specific operational needs of their facility.
This order further strengthens the cooperation between both parties. The customer operates in an industrial logistics environment where efficient heavy-load transport is essential for daily operations. After reviewing several equipment options, they chose our straddle carrier solution due to its reliable performance, flexible operation, and environmentally friendly power system.
Straddle Carrier Technical Specifications
The ordered equipment is a HKY60E6 straddle carrier, designed to meet demanding operational requirements while maintaining high efficiency and safety standards.
Main technical parameters include:
- Product Name: Straddle Carrier
- Model: HKY60E6
- Working Class: A3
- Rated Lifting Capacity: 60 tons
- Span: 4.1 meters
- Lifting Height: 6.5 meters
- Operation Method: Remote control + cabin operation
- Power Source: Battery powered system
- Color: Standard industrial coating
- Quantity: 1 set
This 60-ton straddle carrier is engineered for stable transportation and lifting of heavy loads within confined working spaces. The combination of remote control and cabin operation allows operators to choose the most suitable control method depending on the work scenario.
Advantages of Battery Powered Straddle Carrier
One of the most important features of this straddle carrier is its battery-powered drive system. Compared with traditional diesel-powered equipment, battery-powered carriers offer several advantages.
First, they significantly reduce emissions and noise levels, making them ideal for indoor or environmentally sensitive industrial environments. Second, electric drive systems typically require less maintenance and offer higher energy efficiency. This helps operators reduce long-term operating costs while improving sustainability.
However, because the equipment uses a battery power system, the project must also address battery certification requirements. These certification procedures are important for ensuring the safe transportation and operation of battery systems, especially when exporting equipment internationally.
Special Requirements for the Project
The customer also specified several special requirements to ensure the smooth implementation of the project.
1. Installation Guidance Service
The contract includes the cost of installation guidance. Our technical team will provide professional support to assist with equipment installation and commissioning at the customer's site. This ensures that the straddle carrier can be put into operation efficiently and safely.
2. Battery Certification Considerations
Due to international shipping regulations and safety requirements, special attention must be given to battery certification costs and documentation. Our project team will coordinate the certification process to ensure that the equipment meets all necessary standards before shipment.
Production and Delivery Schedule
The total production period for this customized straddle carrier is 65 working days. After manufacturing and final testing, the equipment will be shipped by sea freight under the trade term CIF Taichung Port, Taiwan.
The agreed payment method for this project is 50% T/T deposit and 50% L/C, which provides financial security for both parties while supporting smooth project execution.
Before shipment, the equipment will undergo strict quality inspection and functional testing to ensure it meets all technical specifications and performance requirements.
Expanding Opportunities in the Straddle Carrier Market
With increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly material handling solutions, straddle carriers are becoming increasingly important in modern logistics and industrial operations. Our ability to design and manufacture customized equipment allows us to meet the diverse requirements of global clients.
This project for Taiwan demonstrates our expertise in delivering high-capacity, battery-powered straddle carrier systems tailored to specific operational needs. As cooperation with this client continues to grow, we look forward to providing more advanced lifting equipment solutions and expanding our presence in the international material handling market.
