Technical details and manufacturing context for Straddle Carrier
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Engine PowerRequired | 250–400 kW | 250–400 — For diesel-electric units; fully electric models specify continuous motor power.ISO 3046-1 |
| Lifting CapacityRequired | 40–50 tons | 40–50 — Rated for 1-over-2 stacking; higher capacity for 1-over-3 stacking.ISO 1496-1 |
| Lifting HeightRequired | 12.1–14.8 meters | 12.1–14.8 — To clear 1-over-2 or 1-over-3 container stacks. |
| Span WidthRequired | 6.1–9.0 meters | 6.1–9.0 — Width between wheels; must accommodate container width plus clearance. |
| Travel SpeedRequired | 25–30 km/h | 25–30 — Loaded speed; unloaded speed may be higher. |
| Ambient temperature | -20–+45 °C | -20 to +45 °C — Outside this window: Hydraulic oil viscosity changes, reduced battery performance, material brittleness below -20°C; overheating above 45°C. |
| Wind speed for operation | ≤ 20 m/s (72 km/h) | ≤ 20 m/s (72 km/h) — Outside this window: Risk of tipping when lifting high loads; must stow spreader and lower container. |
| Container weight | ≤ 40 t (typical max gross weight) | ≤ 40 t (typical max gross weight) — Outside this window: Overloading causes structural fatigue, hydraulic failure, and safety hazards. |
| Stacking height | 1-over-2 (max 3 high) or 1-over-3 (max 4 high) | 1-over-2 (max 3 high) or 1-over-3 (max 4 high) — Outside this window: Exceeding stack height reduces stability and may damage containers. |

A straddle carrier is used for lifting and transporting shipping containers in port terminals, rail yards, and storage facilities. It can stack containers up to 1-over-2 or 1-over-3 high, depending on the model.
Key specifications include lifting capacity (40–50 tons), lifting height (12.1–14.8 m), span width (6.1–9.0 m), travel speed (25–30 km/h), and engine power (250–400 kW for diesel-electric units). Always verify these with the manufacturer for the specific model.
Operating limits include ambient temperature (-20 to +45 °C), wind speed (≤20 m/s), and container weight (≤40 t). Exceeding these can cause instability, structural fatigue, or hydraulic failure. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
Relevant standards include ISO 1496-1 for container specifications, ISO 3046-1 for engine power, ISO 3691-1 for industrial trucks, ISO 13849-1 for safety-related control systems, and ISO 10571 for tires. These are references for verification, not proof of compliance.
