Frequently Asked Questions

What are container handling forklifts?

Container handling forklifts are specialised material handling equipment designed specifically for lifting, transporting, and stacking shipping containers. These robust machines feature high lifting capacities, extended reach capabilities, and specialised attachments such as spreaders or twist locks to securely grip containers. They are essential in ports, container terminals, and large logistics operations for efficient container management and movement.

How much weight can container handling forklifts lift?

The lifting capacity of container handling forklifts varies widely depending on model and design. Typically, they can handle loads from 10-45 tonnes. Empty container handlers usually have capacities of 8-11 tonnes, while laden container handlers and reach stackers can lift up to 45 tonnes or more.

How much does a container handling forklift cost?

The cost of a container handling forklift can vary significantly based on lifting capacity, features, and brand. Generally, prices for new models range from $550,000 to over $1,000,000, with high-capacity or specialised units potentially exceeding this range. Adaptalift Group offers competitive pricing and flexible financing options to accommodate various budgets. For a tailored quote, contact our sales team.

Can container handling forklifts be used in both indoor and outdoor?

Yes, container handling forklifts are designed to operate in both indoor and outdoor environments. However, most are primarily used outdoors in port terminals, container yards, and intermodal facilities. For indoor use, such as in large warehouses or distribution centres, smaller container handler trucks or specialised indoor models may be more suitable.

What are suitable alternatives to container handling forklifts?

While container handling forklifts are highly efficient for their specific purpose, there are alternative solutions depending on the operation:

  • Straddle carriers: Ideal for high-density container stacking
  • Rail-mounted gantry cranes: Suitable for large terminals with high throughput
  • Rubber-tired gantry cranes: Offer flexibility in container yard operations
  • Side loaders: Useful for long, narrow containers or in confined spaces
  • Heavy-duty forklifts with container attachments: For smaller operations or occasional container handling.
