Since 1976, Taylor Machine Works has built, designed and marketed empty container handlers. The "Big Red" line of empty handlers reflects the knowledge and experience gained in those years. The Taylor empty handlers are known as "All American" units as they are manufactured and designed in the USA. Taylor is consistently on the cutting edge of industrial technology. The business strives to maintain their dedication of manufacturing and designing the best and most productive, most dependable container handling machines around, anywhere in the globe.
The company's empty container handlers are equipped with a wide range of attachments and masts so as to better meet your specific needs. The following is a list of models with their basic mast and attachment.
The TECDS-150H Attachment expands to be able to top pick 20 feet throughout 53 feet empty ISO standard containers and empty reefer containers. Any containers measuring more than 40 feet should have standard 40 feet ISO pickup points. The attachment has electrical signal lights in the cab, 4 corner twist-locks, 2 work lights and hydraulic slewing.
The ELME attachment is engineered to handle 2 20 foot or 40 foot empty ISO standard containers simultaneously. This simultaneous ability could be done with the containers stacked on top of each other. Also, this type of attachment comes with 4 horizontal twist-locks which 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 allows block stacking to be carried out.

Each and every model of the Taylor container forklifts utilizes a Tier Compliant Cummins electronic turbocharged, charged air after-cooled or charged air to air diesel engine. Some of the basic engine features include diagnostic monitor and electronic maintenance, engine/transmission protection, fuel/water separator, improved fuel economy and less overall emissions. In addition, the transmission available used for all 3 units is a non-modulated, power-shift, fully reversing, 3-speed transmission. It is available complete with inching capacity and remote shift control.
These units have been meticulously engineered to deal with the worst conditions and the harshest atmosphere's that nature could throw at them. These models are able to work with ease through rough terrain, thick mud and deep snow. Having the ability to rely on a reliable equipment when you are working in the middle of nowhere and in lousy conditions is definitely an essential investment for your business.
