Since the year 1967, Taylor Machine Works has built, engineered 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 referred to as "All American" units as they are engineered and built within the United States. Taylor is always on the cutting edge of industrial technology. The company strives to maintain their dedication of designing and manufacturing the most dependable, best and most productive container handling equipment around, anywhere in the world.
The company's empty container handlers are outfitted with a wide range of attachments and masts in order to better suit your specific needs. The following is a list of units with their standard attachment and mast.
The TECDS-150H Attachment expands to be able to top pick 20 feet throughout 53 feet empty reefer containers and empty ISO standard containers. Any containers measuring over 40 feet need to have standard 40 feet ISO pickup points. The attachment has 4 corner twist-locks as well, electrical signal lights in the cab, hydraulic slewing and 2 work lights.
Able to handle 2 separate 20 foot or 40 foot empty ISO standard containers at the same time is the ELME attachment. It allows for numerous containers to be stacked on top of each other. As well, this type of attachment is offered with 4 horizontal twist-locks which insert into the side apertures of the upper containers bottom corner castings and the lower container's top corner castings. The extremely specialized design of the twist-locks allows block stacking to be accomplished.

Each model of the Taylor container lift trucks utilizes a Tier Compliant Cummins electronic turbocharged, charged air to air or charged air after-cooled diesel engine. Several of the basic engine features consist of electronic maintenance and diagnostic monitor, engine/transmission protection, reduced overall emissions, water/fuel separator and improved fuel economy. Additionally, the transmission available for all 3 units is a 3-speed, fully reversing, power-shift, non-modulated transmission. It is offered complete with inching capacity and remote shift control.
These units have been carefully engineered to handle the worst climate and the roughest atmosphere's that nature could throw at them. These units can function with ease through deep snow, rough terrain and thick mud. Having the ability to rely on a dependable machinery when you are working in the middle of nowhere and in lousy conditions is certainly an essential investment for your company.
