Equipment

Throughput, visibility, uptime.

Taylor reach stackers and container handlers are built for rail, port, and inland terminals. Get fast cycle times, clear sightlines, and service support that keeps your stacks moving.

Solutions for Ports, Rail, and Inland Container Terminals

Choose the right mix for your yard. Taylor offers reach stackers for flexibility, loaded handlers for dense stacking, and empty handlers for high-turn repositioning. Specify spreaders, camera systems, and telemetry to match your site.

Intermodal Operating Challenges

Terminals run hard and fast. Equipment must support high lifts, tight turns, mixed visibility conditions, and strict safety requirements while minimizing unplanned downtime.

Common pain points

  • Throughput pressure with variable container mix and stack heights.
  • Limited aisles, rail clearances, truck queues, and pedestrian traffic.
  • Exposure to weather, salt air, dust, and night operations.
  • Downtime risk without immediate parts and field service.

What buyers look for

  • Reliable powertrain and hydraulics for repeatable cycle times.
  • Sightlines, cameras, and lighting that support safe, precise picks.
  • Smart spreaders and controls that simplify attachment changes.
  • Strong dealer support with planned maintenance and rapid parts.
