Mobile House Container Lifting Truck

Admin September 17, 2026

Mobile house container lifting trucks should be selected based on the scenario, weight, and spatial conditions. Common equipment includes rubber-tired gantry cranes, straddle carriers, container reach stackers, and specialized lightweight cranes. Specific selection should consider the following points:

1. In-yard lifting: Rubber-tired gantry crane
This equipment uses tires for mobility, allowing flexible steering with a standard span of 23.47 meters, suitable for handling medium to large mobile house containers within yards. Its advantage lies in its wide coverage, meeting the needs of container stacking or long-distance horizontal movement. For example, in container yards or temporary settlement areas, rubber-tired gantry cranes can efficiently complete container loading, unloading, and short-distance transportation.

2. Narrow space operations: Straddle carrier
Straddle carriers can move directly over the top of containers with a minimum turning radius of only 8 meters, making them suitable for space-constrained scenarios such as old residential area renovations and emergency rescue sites. Taking the foldable modules from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. as an example, weighing approximately 800 kilograms, straddle carriers can quickly complete lifting and positioning, minimizing interference with the surrounding environment.

3. High mobility requirements: Container reach stacker
As a mobile port machinery equipment, reach stackers are characterized by high mobility and operational efficiency, widely used in ports, transit stations, and temporary yards. Modern products adopt dynamic power matching technology, with some all-electric models achieving zero emissions and low noise, meeting environmental requirements. Their lifting height and span can accommodate containers of different specifications, suitable for scenarios requiring frequent relocation of operation sites.

4. Lightweight and portability: Specialized small cranes
For emergency rescue or temporary settlement scenarios, mobile container-specific cranes (such as those from brands like Xinlitai and Baowei Crane) offer lightweight solutions. Equipment parameters cover lifting capacity, lifting height, etc., with operation modes including remote control, electric, or hydraulic drive. For example, when handling 800-kilogram foldable modules, a small remote-controlled crane can be selected, deployed quickly with the cooperation of two workers, significantly improving rescue efficiency.

Selection recommendations:

  • For large yards or long-term operations: Prioritize rubber-tired gantry cranes or reach stackers for a balance of efficiency and coverage;
  • For narrow spaces or temporary tasks: Straddle carriers or lightweight cranes offer greater flexibility;
  • For scenarios with strict environmental requirements: Choose all-electric models to reduce noise and emissions impact.
