Long Beach Container Terminal Taps Super Heavy Duty Vehicle Lifts from Stertil-Koni

Stertil-Koni has announced that the latest episode of its popular, customer-focused “We Care” video series showcases a particularly unique customer application of the company’s lifting systems.

In the latest installment of “We Care,” the customer under the spotlight is Long Beach Container Terminal Corporation (LBCT).

The video takes the viewer on a behind-the-scenes look at LBCT and its utilization of Stertil-Koni’s latest super heavy duty mobile column lifts — the ST 1130 — which have a lifting capacity of 29,000 lbs. per column, or 116,000 lbs. for a set of four.

But there’s much more. Innovation is at the forefront of LBCT and Stertil-Koni. LBCT is the first company in North America to utilize a fleet of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to take containers from, or to the yard. The AGVs, which operate in a completely automated area, have a capacity of 70 tons each and work in collaboration with automated stacking cranes that in turn deliver containers to the truckers or out to the yard.
