Straddle carriers

ISOLOADER ECONOLIFTER puts straddle advantages firmly in the hands of the transporter and warehouser. Packing hefty lifting capacity of 32 tons (6 or 12m containers) the new Econolifter can operate on any hard level surface (gravel or paving etc) its light tare weight of under 10 tons allows the nimble machine to speedily offload and load trucks and trailers, service loading bays and operate at less than a third of conventional counter-balanced full container handling equipment. The unique design of the new ISOLOADER allows for dense stacking of boxes by moving through and over the storage area as opposed to around the yard, exchanging the need for large working aisles and operating with extremely low point loadings. The low point loading reduces the need for costly surface construction associated with conventional container handlers. The small efficient 4 cylinder diesel engine is the heart of the hydrostatically driven Isoloader minimizing both maintenance and running costs. Direction change is easily achieved with two driving positions as standard allowing safety and speed of operation in all work situations, moving 4 5 boxes an hour
