How Does a 35 Ton Straddle Carrier Handle 20ft & 40ft Containers?
Short Video Description
This video shows a 35 ton container straddle carrier handling 20ft and 40ft containers and stacking containers up to two layers.
Watch how the carrier moves into position, lifts the container with its lifting system, travels with the load and places it at the required storage position.
The combination of container lifting, self-propelled travelling and two-layer stacking makes this type of straddle carrier suitable for container yards, logistics centers, factories and industrial storage areas.
