Multifunctional container straddle carrier

The multifunctional container straddle carrier is a rubber‑tyred, self‑propelled vehicle designed to lift, transport, and stack intermodal containers, as well as handle break‑bulk cargo, flat racks, and even bulk materials using interchangeable attachments. It features a wide rectangular frame that straddles one or two containers, a telescopic spreader with twistlocks, and optional hooks, grabs, or lifting beams. Lifting capacity typically ranges from 30t to 60t, with stacking up to 4 high and travel speeds up to 25 km/h. This versatile machine is ideal for ports, intermodal terminals, and logistics hubs where mixed cargo types require flexible, one‑unit operation.
