With the continuous development of heavy-duty logistics and specialized container transportation, conventional container handling equipment may not always provide sufficient capacity or working clearance for oversized cargo. To address these requirements, Haitai Heavy Industry developed this 60 ton wide-body container straddle carrier for demanding heavy-load and wide-body handling operations.
The equipment features a widened gantry structure and reinforced chassis, giving it the structural strength and operating stability required for heavy containers and oversized cargo units. Compared with conventional straddle carriers, its wider frame provides additional working clearance, allowing it to handle wide-body special containers and non-standard cargo units that may exceed the dimensions normally accommodated by standard equipment.
As a rubber-tyred, self-propelled material handling system, the 60 ton straddle carrier combines lifting, stacking and horizontal transportation into one machine. It can travel directly over a container, lift the load from above and transport it to the designated position without relying on an auxiliary crane or forklift for routine handling operations.
The defining feature of this 60 ton straddle carrier is its wide-body configuration.
The increased gantry width provides greater clearance around the load, making the equipment suitable for wide-body special containers and oversized cargo units. This design is particularly useful for logistics operations where cargo dimensions vary and standard container handling equipment cannot provide sufficient operating space.
The widened structure is combined with a reinforced chassis to withstand the stresses associated with heavy-load transportation. When operating under full load, the machine maintains strong lateral stability, helping provide controlled and reliable movement during lifting, transportation and stacking operations.
Rather than being limited to standard ISO container dimensions, the equipment can be configured according to the actual cargo size, lifting requirements and working environment of the project.
With a rated lifting capacity of 60 tons, this wide-body straddle carrier is designed for applications where both load capacity and cargo dimensions present challenges.
It can be used for handling standard ISO containers as well as heavier and wider cargo units, including special containers and non-standard modules used in heavy industry and specialized logistics.
The integrated operating concept allows one machine to perform several handling tasks:
This combination helps simplify material handling operations while providing greater flexibility for facilities that regularly deal with heavy or irregular cargo.
Unlike rail-mounted handling equipment, the 60 ton wide-body container straddle carrier operates on rubber tires and can move freely within its designated working area.
This configuration provides greater flexibility when cargo needs to be transferred between different storage or handling positions. It is particularly suitable for yards and industrial sites where fixed transportation routes are not always practical or where handling tasks change according to production and logistics requirements.
The self-propelled design also enables the equipment to combine lifting and transportation operations within the same machine, reducing the need to repeatedly transfer cargo between different types of equipment.
The 60 ton wide-body container straddle carrier can be applied across a range of heavy-duty logistics environments.
At coastal ports and heavy container yards, it can be used for handling and short-distance transportation of heavy containers and special wide-body cargo.
At railway container freight stations and inland container terminals, the equipment can support container transfer, stacking and yard transportation operations.
In special logistics parks, it provides a flexible solution for moving oversized or heavy cargo units between storage, loading and unloading areas.
For large heavy manufacturing companies, the straddle carrier can also be used for internal logistics, particularly where heavy modules, containerized equipment or non-standard cargo units need to be transported over relatively short distances within a plant or yard.
Designed for heavy containers and cargo units that exceed the handling capability of conventional equipment.
The widened gantry provides greater operating clearance for wide-body special containers and oversized cargo.
A strengthened chassis supports demanding heavy-load operations and contributes to overall structural stability.
Lifting, stacking and horizontal transportation can be completed by a single self-propelled machine.
The wide structural configuration helps maintain stability when carrying heavy loads.
Rubber-tyred travel eliminates dependence on fixed rails and allows the machine to move within designated operating areas.
The equipment can be engineered according to cargo dimensions, rated load, lifting height, working area and other project-specific requirements.
Every heavy-load logistics project has different cargo dimensions, operating conditions and handling requirements. For this reason, Haitai Crane does not limit its straddle carrier solutions to a fixed standard configuration.
Based on the customer’s actual requirements, we can develop customized solutions covering the machine structure, gantry width, lifting capacity, lifting height, overall dimensions and operating configuration.
With experience in the design and manufacture of heavy lifting and material handling equipment, Haitai Heavy Industry provides complete equipment solutions for customers in different industries and regions.
The company holds ISO and CE certifications and provides customized heavy-duty lifting and material handling equipment for global customers. From project-specific equipment design and manufacturing to delivery, commissioning and after-sales technical support, Haitai Crane provides support throughout the equipment lifecycle.
The 60 ton wide-body container straddle carrier combines heavy lifting capacity, widened structural design and flexible rubber-tyred operation into a single handling system. It is specifically suited to applications involving heavy containers, wide-body special containers and non-standard cargo units that require more space and greater capacity than conventional straddle carriers can provide.
By integrating lifting, stacking and horizontal transportation functions, the equipment offers a practical solution for ports, railway freight yards, inland container terminals, specialized logistics parks and heavy manufacturing facilities.
For projects requiring high-capacity and wide-body container handling, Haitai Heavy Industry can provide a customized straddle carrier solution based on the customer’s cargo specifications and actual operating conditions.
