Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an empty container handler and an empty container lifter?

These are just two different names used for empty container handling equipment, they are often also called empty container top loaders. Our empty container handlers have a spreader mounted on a mast, while our top loaders have a top lift spreader mounted on their mast. Both can move empty containers quickly and efficiently.
