Industrial Straddle Carriers for Heavy Load Movement

A straddle carrier is like a gantry crane with stearable axles & tyres. The advantage of the straddle carrier is its ability to pick and move extra large girders, segments and materials.  The span and lifting height can be designed according to customers site requirements.

EEE offers various range of straddle carrier from 100T to 1500T.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. What is a straddle carrier crane, and how does it differ from other lifting machines?
    A straddle carrier crane is a specialized vehicle that lifts and transports loads (e.g. shipping containers or large structural components) by straddling them rather than lifting from above. It combines movement and lifting in one unit, unlike separate cranes plus trailers. It’s especially common in ports, yards, and industrial zones.

  2. What are the advantages of an electric straddle carrier?
    Electric straddle carriers reduce fuel costs, lower emissions, and often have quieter operation. With good battery technology and infrastructure, electric models can operate efficiently, often using idle times for charging and smart scheduling to minimize downtime.

  3. How does automation work in a straddle carrier?
    An automated straddle carrier is equipped with sensors, software, navigation systems, and often remote or fleet-management control. They can operate in terminals with minimal driver intervention, enabling more efficient traffic flow, energy usage, and safety oversight.

  4. What role does the straddle carrier operator play, even in automated or electric systems?
    Even with automation, a straddle carrier operator is essential for oversight, safety monitoring, intervention in exceptional cases, maintenance checks, and handling scenarios outside the automated logic. Operators also help maintain productivity, especially during transitions or busy periods.

  5. In what settings are Everest’s straddle carrier solutions most useful?
    These machines are especially useful in container terminals, port yards, intermodal facilities, and large industrial zones needing to move heavy loads efficiently over moderate distances. They are beneficial where stacking, transporting, and re-positioning containers or large components is common, and where electrification or automation adds value.
