Strong demand for Container Runner

The Ferrari Container Runner is available both in a 40-tonne single-lift version and a 50-/60-tonne twin-lift version. The machine is controlled electronically by a CANBUS system that interfaces with the hydraulic system as well as with the driving system, which is based on hydraulic drive motors installed inside the wheel hubs.

The machine’s other features include an automatic centring spreader device and a steering system designed to optimise handling performance. The electronic steering control is geared to the vehicle’s speed and steering angle, ensuring comfort and safety for operators. The Container Runner’s low profile adds to its stability, giving it a higher turning speed and reducing the risk of accidents. The machine’s low weight of 40 tonnes allows improved acceleration as well as reduced fuel consumption.

The Container Runner’s versatile design means that it can be used to replace a terminal tractor and reachstacker combination, or can be used with straddle carriers or integrated into an automated stacking yard system. Over the next year the company was expecting to produce ten units, but will increase production significantly to meet demand from new semi-automated terminal projects.
