Performance records for Star Karricon in European and United Kingdom ports have proved its leadership as the most efficient straddle carrier around. It boasts an unbelievably fast average container handling cycle of 21/2 minutes at a distance of 500 yards. For minimum ship turnaround time and maximum profitability, its got to be Star Karricon. Here's why:

High Speed Operation. Two-speed hydrostatic drive provides high speed acceleration and travel over long distances. Fast hoist speed with precise inching control shortens pickup and lift movements.

Great Maneuverability. Will clear and stack containers three high. Adjustable telescopic spreader handles all size containers—even when they're twisted, on uneven ground or in close quarters.

Easy Maintenance & Repairs. Full access to all service areas. No extra equipment needed. Hoist and drive motors are replaceable with modular units.

Maximum Driver Control. Four wheel steering, drive and braking give maximum safety and minimum container damage. Operator's cab has full visibility.

Excellent Versatility. Easily adaptable to a large variety of industrial applications, especially abnormally long loads such as steel coils, beams and timber.
