Port & Terminal

Working conditions

Port and terminal work is open-air, continuous and heavy. Trucks handle pallets, cargo baskets and container-related loads across concrete and asphalt, often with gradients, kerbs and standing water. Salt air and washdown are part of the environment, and a truck that stops for a charge in the middle of a vessel call costs more than the fuel it saves.

Recommended capacity and models

The diesel range from 2.0 to 20 t is the backbone here. The FS-G30-35 and FS-G50L cover general cargo and pallet handling, while the FS-G160-200 takes the heaviest terminal duties. Electric 3.0–4.0 t trucks are useful for short, fixed cycles near the shed where a charger is close by.

• Diesel 2.0–20 t for continuous duty and gradients
• Electric 3.0–4.0 t for short indoor or shed-side cycles
• Solid tyres and a service schedule agreed for salt-air and washdown conditions
• Mast and fork options matched to the cargo, not only to the tonnage

What to confirm before ordering

• Heaviest cargo, load centre and the gradient on the working route
• Continuous duty hours and the refuelling or charging window
• Tyre type and surface conditions, including standing water
• Washdown routine and the corrosion protection expected on site

Port buyers usually consolidate several units per container. Loading plans are prepared per model and mast configuration, and every unit passes a 100% load test before export packing.
