Three major advantages over other dockside ter-minal systems: Lower capital investment. A PACECO Transtainer system can do a better job than a straddle carrier system costing up to twice as much. Transtainers stack and load after trucks transport containers from the pier. As container volume increases, only addi-tional trucks are required. Further savings can be realized with a Transtainer system that minimizes expensive yard preparations and pier reinforce-ments. Greater operating flexibility. Transtainers stack, load and unload all types of vehicles, including railcars. Straddle carriers can only pick up and carry, while Transtainers handle all types, shapes and sizes of containers and trailers in four directions. Greater space savings in storage areas.Transtainers stack containers flush-up to five high ?and require fewer aisles. Straddle carriers store less than half the containers per acre as do PACECO long-span Transtainers, and the latter also offer random con-tainer accessibility. For further Transtainer terminal information, give us a call. A team of PACECO engineers is available for consultation.
