Container Handlers

Also known as container forklifts, a container handler is used for lifting, transporting, and stacking containers. This task can put a lot of strain on your equipment, so you want to ensure that you have enough power for the job. Our selection of loaded container handlers offer up to 100,000 lbs of lifting capacity and can create stacks up to 5 containers high. We also provide unloaded options with lifting capacities up to 22,000 lbs and the ability to stack up to 8 containers high.

Reach Stackers

Where container forklifts focus on vertical movement of containers, reach stackers provide a solution for both vertical and horizontal positioning. This allows them to reach behind one stack of containers to access a container from the group behind it. With leading brands including Taylor and Konecranes, our reach stackers can meet the demands of any intermodal operation. Each unit delivers reliable performance, exceptional power, and unmatched operator comfort. This provides enhanced productivity, safety, and performance value. Our reach stackers are available with lift capacities up to 100,000 lbs and can create stacks up to 6 containers high.

Straddle Carriers

When you’re in need of high lift capacities, look no further than our selection of straddle carriers! With capacities up to 220,000 lbs, these units can reliably lift the heaviest materials and containers with ease. A straddle carrier is ideal for loading containers on to the back of semi-trucks. Their impressive visibility, fast lifting speeds, and secure hold allow operators to safely transport containers quickly. This ensures enhanced productivity while also keeping containers and personnel safe during operation. Contact our team today to see if a straddle carrier is the right fit for your operation!
