EVERY YEAR MORE PORTS TURN TO FBCBCO TRANSTAINER SYSTEMS —

Performance leaders since 1960.

Tired Transtainer systems because: • Up to 5 times more storage capacity • Handling costs cut up to 80% over chassis or carrier equi pment • Exclusive features—including dual-lift spreaders • Lesscontainerandtrailerdamage • High reliability • Minimum maintenance costs

Transtainer equipped ports are assured against obsolescence si nee only Transtainers are designed for automated service of the future.

We call it MACH—Modular Auto- mated Container Handling.
