A new straddle carrier from Konecranes

The first is in large container terminal operators that are adopting automation technology for greater efficiency. The second is in a potentially diverse range of companies that do not have container handling as a core competence, and yet handle incoming and containers – often using trucks and trailers or custom-engineered, stationary gantry cranes. Boxrunner can be a much more effective solution for their container handling needs.

The Boxrunner design process started by asking a number of key customers the question: “What are the characteristics of the perfect straddle carrier?” Their answers inspired the Boxrunner’s principle performance and ownership characteristics i.e. speed, outstanding handling, durability, operator friendliness , low maintenance with long service intervals, and a low total cost of ownership.

“We listened to our container handling customers and incorporated their feedback resulting in the launch of this special machine, the Boxrunner, a uniquely advanced straddle carrier,” says Jens Andreas, general manager, Konecranes Straddle Carriers.
