HSCRANE 50-Ton Telescopic Chain Container Straddle Carrier Exported to Indonesia

Release time:Sep-04-2026

Earlier this year, our engineering team followed an interesting overseas project. We provided customized container handling equipment for a logistics park in Surabaya, Indonesia. The client previously used rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG) and heavy forklifts. However, cold chain and general cargo traffic surged in recent years. This surge created frequent bottlenecks along existing operational routes. In narrow aisles, RTGs lacked flexibility during transfers. Meanwhile, forklifts faced stacking height limits and large blind spots. After site surveys and scheme evaluations, the client made a decision. They chose HSCRANE’s 50-ton telescopic chain container straddle carrier.

Project Pain Points and Solutions

High temperatures and frequent rain in Indonesia demand strong equipment durability. Outdoor port machinery requires high anti-corrosion and transmission stability. Traditional hydraulic telescopic arms easily suffer from minor oil leaks under heavy use. This issue significantly increases routine maintenance costs. The recommended straddle carrier features heavy-duty chain drive and mechanical telescopic structures. This design makes daily maintenance straightforward and worry-free. It also delivers reliable performance in hot, humid, and heavy-load environments.

On-Site Delivery and Operational Performance

The equipment arrived at Surabaya Port by sea last month. Our engineers guided on-site assembly and load tests. Feedback from two weeks of operation shows clear practical advantages for this straddle carrier:

Exceptional Transfer Flexibility: Thanks to 8-wheel steering, the equipment turns easily in 12-meter aisles. This capability completely revitalizes previously inefficient corner yards.

Crisp Chain Drive Response: Operators reported zero lag when telescoping to lift loaded 40-foot containers. Lifting and lowering movements remain smooth and seamless.

Reduced Maintenance Burden: Unlike complex hydraulic cylinders, chain drives need only periodic lubrication and tension adjustment. This design significantly reduces work pressure for local maintenance staff.

Mr. Budi, the Indonesian operations manager, praised the equipment after delivery: “Before introducing the HSCRANE straddle carrier, transfers were often delayed by clumsy equipment turning. Now, this 50-ton straddle carrier boosts our yard space utilization by nearly 30%. Furthermore, the mechanical chain drive gives us peace of mind during daily maintenance. This has been a highly successful equipment upgrade.

Project Summary

The successful export of this straddle carrier helped the Indonesian client break yard throughput bottlenecks. It also established a solid benchmark for our heavy port equipment in Southeast Asia.

Reviewing project performance, HSCRANE Overseas Director Mr. Lin shared his insights: “The Indonesian logistics park demands high equipment mobility and reliability. This 50-ton telescopic chain straddle carrier was designed for humid, hot, and rainy climates. We upgraded its transmission mechanism and electrical protection. On-site testing proves it fully withstands high-intensity operations.”

Moving forward, HSCRANE will continue expanding into specialized overseas markets. We rely on field-tested product quality and professional service. We deliver efficient material handling solutions to global ports and logistics hubs.
