Straddle Carrier

A straddle carrier is a highly efficient material handling equipment specially used in ports, logistics yards, factory material yards and multimodal transport hubs to perform horizontal loading and unloading, handling, stacking and transshipment tasks. It is supported by rubber tires and is often equipped with a diesel generator set or an electric hybrid system drive. It has excellent off-road capabilities and flexible maneuverability and is suitable for various complex terrains and space-constrained environments. Straddle carriers can not only carry containers, but also steel coils, large components, prefabricated structures and heavy materials, and have a wide range of applicability.

• Efficient operation: quickly realize cargo loading and unloading, transportation and stacking, significantly improve operation efficiency and reduce operation time.
• Flexible and maneuverable: small turning radius and multi-directional steering can easily cope with the operation requirements of narrow and complex sites.
• Strong carrying capacity: suitable for heavy and large material handling, improving the operation efficiency in industrial environment.
• Safety guarantee: equipped with multiple safety systems such as radar anti-collision, video monitoring, overload protection, anti-skid, automatic pressure maintenance, etc. to ensure safe operation.
• Multi-functional adaptability: can be configured with corresponding lifting equipment according to different material forms (containers, steel coils, prefabricated parts, etc.), with one vehicle for multiple uses.
• Automation and intelligence: equipped with intelligent monitoring, positioning, and identification systems, it can realize automatic identification, positioning, stacking and safe transportation of heavy objects.
• Customizable: according to customer needs, provide personalized customization solutions to meet the needs of different scenarios, loads, and operation methods.
• Easy maintenance: modular design, hydraulic operating handle, and hydrostatic drive system are adopted, which are easy to maintain and have a low failure rate.

• Multiple steering modes: straight line, oblique line, lateral movement, 360° in situ, Ackerman steering, to meet the control needs of multiple scenarios.
• Wide wheel design: Highly elastic coated steel tires, low requirements on the road surface, adapt to complex terrain and ramps.
• Intelligent control system: equipped with SYMC controller, P+F sensor, CAN bus, weighing and height limiter to ensure precise control.
• Dual operation mode of driving and remote control: cab control and wireless remote control can be switched at any time to adapt to different working environments.
• High slope crawling ability: The new generation of equipment can climb a 10% slope when fully loaded, far exceeding traditional tire lifting equipment.
• Multi-layer safety assurance system: radar anti-collision, video warning, dangerous area reminder, container anti-sway, emergency operation switching system.

Straddle carriers are widely used in port terminals, logistics warehousing, industrial manufacturing, construction, mining material yards, and new energy wind power. They can efficiently transport containers, steel coils, prefabricated components, heavy raw materials, and large equipment, adapt to complex terrain and narrow space operation requirements, ensure the safety and efficiency of material loading, unloading, transshipment, and stacking, and help various industries improve logistics operation efficiency and management level.

A straddle carrier is a highly maneuverable handling device supported by rubber tires and driven by its own power. It is mainly used for horizontal handling, loading and unloading, and stacking of goods. Its basic operation method is to clamp or hoist containers or heavy materials from above through the gantry structure and special lifting equipment installed inside the vehicle to complete the lifting, transportation, and stacking of goods.

1. Positioning close to the cargo: The straddle carrier drives over the target cargo and uses the cab or wireless remote control system to control the positioning.
2. Grabbing or clamping with a spreader: The special spreader equipped on the top of the equipment or on the gantry descends to automatically lock the corner fittings of the container or clamp large materials.
3. Lifting action: The cargo is lifted to a safe transportation height through a hydraulic or electric system.
4. Horizontal handling: The straddle carrier transports the cargo to the target yard or transfer area in a straight, horizontal, oblique or 360° turning manner.
5. Stacking or loading and unloading: Place the cargo safely and stably at the predetermined location, or load it onto a truck, railway truck or other carrier.

Straddle carriers are usually equipped with a multi-mode steering system, hydrostatic drive technology and intelligent monitoring devices, which can achieve multi-directional travel, stepless speed change, automatic positioning and heavy object status monitoring, ensuring efficient, safe and smooth operation.

Especially in complex terrain or narrow spaces, straddle carriers have become ideal equipment for material handling in ports, logistics parks and industrial parks due to their small turning radius, multiple steering methods and excellent load capacity.
