Ever since the year 1967, Taylor Machine Works has built, designed and marketed empty container handlers. The "Big Red" line of empty handlers reflects the experience and knowledge gained during those years. The Taylor empty handlers are called the "All American" units because they are engineered and manufactured in the United States. Taylor is always on the cutting edge of industrial technology. The company strives to maintain their commitment of building and designing the most reliable, most productive and best container handling machinery around, anywhere within the globe.
The company's empty container handlers are equipped with a wide assortment of masts and attachments so as to better meet your specific requirements. The following is a list of units with their standard attachment and mast.
The TECDS-150H Attachment expands in order to top pick 20 feet throughout 53 feet empty ISO standard containers and empty reefer containers. Any containers measuring over 40 feet must have standard 40 feet ISO pickup points. The attachment has 4 corner twist-locks too, electrical signal lights inside the cab, 2 work lights and hydraulic slewing.
Able to handle 2 separate 20 foot or 40 foot empty ISO standard containers simultaneously is the ELME attachment. It allows for many containers to be stacked on top of each other. Furthermore, this kind of attachment comes with 4 horizontal twist-locks that insert into the side apertures of the upper containers bottom corner castings as well as the lower container's top corner castings. The extremely specialized design of the twist-locks enables block stacking to be accomplished.

Each unit of the Taylor container lift trucks utilizes a Tier Compliant Cummins electronic turbocharged, charged air after-cooled or charged air to air diesel engine. Several of the basic engine features comprise transmission/engine protection, electronic maintenance and diagnostic monitor, improved fuel economy, reduced overall emissions and fuel/water separator. In addition, the transmission available for all 3 units is a fully reversing, 3-speed, power-shift, non-modulated transmission. It comes complete with remote shift control and inching capacity.
These particular models have been designed specifically to work in extreme weather in the roughest environments around the world. These models are able to work with ease through thick mud, deep snow and rough terrain. Having the ability to rely on a reliable machinery when you are working in lousy weather conditions and in the middle of nowhere is definitely an important investment for your company.
