Straddle carrier picking up a container

Just a straddle carrier casually picking up a container beneath a gantry crane at our Container Terminal Burchardkai in Hamburg. ✨

Fun fact: In Hamburg, the terms “Van Carrier” and “VC” are still widely used, even though the international term is straddle carrier.

These vehicles first appeared on Hamburg’s terminals in 1980, when they could stack containers three high. Today, they manage up to four high, and some models have been operating in twin mode since 2007 - lifting two 20-foot containers at the same time.
