(Starsystem Container Handling Equipment)

Star Iron & Steel pioneered many advancements in container handling. Today, Star's reputation for innova- tive engineering, on-time delivery and superior perfor- mance is unmatched in this rapidly growing field.

The Starsystem is another example of Star's leader- ship. It is an integrated System of versatile container handling equipment including: Starporter® container and general cargo cranes; Starcon™ mobile gantry cranes, rubber tire or rail mounted; Star Karricon® straddle car- riers; and Star Chassis™ loaders.

Put them together in a combination to fit your require- ments and you'll have a container handling system that's unmatched in fast ship turnaround, dependability and every other factor of performance.

Starsystem leads the way in interchangeability of parts and machinery components. No other line of equipment gives you so much flexibility. Your equipment operators can move from one piece of equipment to another with complete familiarity and maximum efficiency. You stock less parts, save time in maintenance and keep your equipment working for maximum profitability. Cabs, power brakes, wheel yokes, fully automatic telescopic spreaders, wheels, tires, electrical components — these are just a few examples of Starsystem components that are freely interchangeable.

But, let's make one thing clear — the word "system" in our name does NOT mean inflexible product design.

Whatever cargo flow problems you might have, Star has the creative design ability, experience and the flexibility of manufacture to come up with modifications to suit your needs and budget.

We'd like to tell you more reasons why you can't beat the system — the Starsystem of container handling equipment.
