NOW at the Port of Los Angeles' East-West Container Terminal, PACECO's Twin Lift Portainer serves four shipping companies operating between Japan and California. Four other PACECO Twin Lift Portainers are currently going into operation in Australia. ANOTHER PACECO FIRST! THE TWIN LIFT PORTAINER KLINE LOADS CONTAINERS TWICE AS FAST-CUTS SHIP TURNAROUND TIME IN HALF! PACECO's 40-ton Twin Lift Portainers are the world's first cranes capable of handling two unattached 20' contain-ers simultaneously. In addition to cutting loading time in half, each Twin Lift load cycle provides a 33% greater cargo payload capacity in the same cube as a single 40' container. The Twin Lift's ability to service two containers as indi-vidual units permits a single box to be offloaded sepa-rately from its companion container. A unique feature provides spacing of twin boxes at distances from 3"to 52", expediting loading, stacking, transfer, as well as compen-sating for various ship cell widths. Containers of varying weights are automatically raised or lowered in unison. The Twin Lift also accommodates single 20', 30' or 40' containers, or interlocked 20' units and can be equipped with a clamshell bucket for bulk handling.
