Avoid Expensive Repair Bills – Why Axle Weights Matter

Mobicon’s axle loads are by far the lowest in the world. Users can handle fully loaded containers on the average yard surface that other mini-straddle carriers (with less axles), forklifts and reach stackers will damage.

Mobicon’s 4 Axle System

The Mobicon is designed to evenly spread out the containers weight over four axles, resulting in a very low axle weight on the yard. Other solutions don’t allow for enough axles resulting in significant yard damage over time.

Major Cost Savings

  • A Mobicon is much cheaper than other container handling options like container forklifts, reach stackers & large stradle carriers.
  • A Mobicon reduces the waiting time for the transporter, as it takes the container off the truck in minutes.
  • Using a Mobicon eliminates hiring costs for sideloaders/self loading trailers.

FASTER CONTAINER & PRODUCT HANDLING

  • Using a Mobicon means greater flexibility in where you can pack & unpack containers, saving time and resources.
  • The Mobicons allows you to separate transport from operations, as there is no need to divert staff to unpack/pack a container when a truck arrives.
  • Using a Mobicon Mini Straddle Carriers allows you to handle the goods when you want, and not when the transport company wants.

IMPROVED SAFETY

  • Mobicon mini-straddle carriers are built for lifting and moving containers, and unlike forklifts have a very low centre of gravity so will not tip over like a forklift.
  • Using a Mobicon reduces traffic in your yard or warehouse when a container arrives, as there is no need to have forklifts scurrying around to unload and the risk of accidents is reduced.
  • Emptying or filling a container is also much safer while the container is on the ground. No need for loading docks or slippery loading ramps.

SUPERIOR DESIGN

  • The Mobicon’s cabin is designed so it doesn’t stick out to one side – decreasing the width of the overall machine, and increasing the space to move around, ultimately reducing cabin damage.
  • Depending on the Mobicon model, you can also unhitch the container from within the cabin making the moving process even faster.
  • Mobicon mini-straddle carriers have cameras for increased visibility.
  • Mobicons make moving containers around safe and easy.

MOBICON IS THE ONLY MINI STRADDLE CARRIER THAT WON’T DAMAGE YOUR YARD

  • Mobicons unique 8 Point Loads design is the only mini straddle carrier that won’t damage the average yard surface – meaning no unexpected large repair costs.
  • 3 & 4 Point Load mini-straddle carriers can’t be used in regular yards as their wheel weight is too high, requiring increased yard reinforcement to withstand their weight or long term structural damage.
  • Don’t be fooled by the concrete ‘looking OK’ – make the wrong choice of mini-straddle carrier and the damage could go undetected until it works its way to the surface and major repairs (and downtime) are needed.
