straddle carrier is born for handling containers, with the development of domestic energy storage industry, straddle carrier has become the first choice of "energy storage container" handling equipment, next, Macart’s electrical senior engineers for you to share the advantages and disadvantages of straddle carrier.

First, the advantages of straddle carrier vehicles

1. One-stop solution

The straddle carrier will be self-picking, handling, stacking and loading and unloading functions in one, the entire handling process does not need the assistance of other equipment, the straddle carrier can independently complete the entire handling process, which greatly reduces the total investment cost of handling equipment, and improves the efficiency of the entire operation.

2. Excellent mobility

One of the characteristics of the straddle carrier is that its walking mechanism is wheeled, its walking track is not restricted by the preset track, and it can shuttle flexibly in the working area like a car in life, with super mobility.

3. Efficient use of space

The ingenious design of the straddle carrier enables it to shuttle freely in the narrow space and has super flexibility, which not only improves the handling efficiency, but also improves the space utilization rate of the storage yard, so that more containers can be stacked in a smaller space.

Second, the shortcomings of straddle carrier

1. High unit cost

Due to its high weight, complex mechanical structure, many hydraulic components, as well as high intelligent configuration, safety configuration, so the single cost of straddle carrier is relatively high. However, because the straddle carrier has the ability to complete the entire operation process independently, compared with the traditional way of using a variety of equipment to complete the handling task, the use of straddle carrier with higher single cost can not only improve the handling efficiency, but also reduce the total investment cost of handling equipment.

2. Limit the number of stacking layers

The straddle carrier of the straddle truck is characterized by a high body and a narrow body, which leads to a maximum of three layers, but this can already meet most application scenarios. For the scene with a higher level of demand, the more typical is the port, usually the straddle carrier and rail container gantry crane are used together, the two cooperate with each other, complement each other, and become a beautiful scenery of the port.
