The library mixes straddle carriers, rubber tyred gantry cranes, travel lifts and special handling machines. That is deliberate: many projects start with a load and a route, not with a product category. Use the capacity filter to narrow the list, then send the load details and we will identify the closest comparable build.
Project-specific details are shared during technical review where available. We do not publish customer names without permission.
29Straddle carriers
15Gantry cranes
2Travel lifts
2Special handling
Across the 48 records, straddle carriers are the largest group, followed by rubber tyred gantry cranes. The remaining machines are two travel lifts, one beam launcher and one yacht crane. Counts are derived from the public project titles in this library; they describe the documented mix, not annual production.

How the capacity groups are organised
The four filters are a browsing aid, not a product hierarchy. Each group holds 12 builds, and the boundaries are set by rated capacity rather than by machine family.
- 1–60 t — container handlers, compact precast carriers and smaller rubber tyred gantry cranes. This is where most yard and plant work sits.
- 60–100 t — heavier precast beams, larger double-girder frames and RTGs for denser stacking.
- 100–500 t — long-span and multi-point machines for bridge beams, modules and heavy industrial loads.
- Custom — machines outside the standard bands: very high capacity travel lifts, beam launchers and one-off handling equipment.
A build appearing in a group does not mean the same capacity suits your site. Two 60 t machines can have completely different spans, portal heights and wheel arrangements, and only one of them may fit your aisle.
Same tonnage, different machine
Rated capacity is the number buyers compare first, and the least useful one on its own. What decides whether a machine works is the combination of span, portal height, wheelbase, turning radius, tyre size and lifting frame. A 60 t container carrier and a 60 t precast carrier share a number and almost nothing else: one is built around a 40 ft box, the other around a 30 m beam with lifting inserts at fixed points.
That is why the library is organised by build rather than by model. When you find a comparable machine, compare the geometry before the tonnage. The specification page explains which dimensions change on site, and the types page covers the differences between machine families.
What we need to match a build
To identify the closest reference, we need four groups of information. The more of it you can send at the first contact, the more specific the answer will be.
- Load — weight, length, width, height, centre of gravity and lifting points. A drawing is better than a description.
- Route — aisle width, turning areas, slopes, overhead clearance, floor or slab details and ground bearing capacity.
- Duty — cycles per hour, hours per shift, shift pattern, and whether the machine also loads trucks.
- Destination — discharge port, inland transport limits and any site rules that affect transport or operation.
Photos and a short site video are often more useful than another page of text. If the load is already on site, tell us how it is currently moved — that usually reveals the real constraint. Builds are produced at our Changyuan factory, so transport and packing are part of the same conversation.
