Straddle Carrier Technologies Enhancing Efficiency in Dutch Ports

The Netherlands stands out as one of Europe’s most strategic logistics hubs. With the Port of Rotterdam leading the way, the country’s port infrastructure plays a critical role in both intra-European trade and global container transportation. This high volume of activity increases the need for efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability in port operations.

FADA’s advanced Straddle Carrier (SC) solutions offer flexible, powerful, and eco-friendly responses to the needs of modern Dutch ports.

In high-traffic ports such as Rotterdam and Amsterdam, the following factors have become critical to operational success:

• Managing large container volumes continuously

• Integration of occupational safety and automation systems

FADA’s Straddle Carrier systems are designed to meet all these expectations with superior technical capabilities and energy efficiency.

Thanks to FADA’s modular and project-based manufacturing approach, tailored solutions can be developed to meet the specific requirements of each port in the Netherlands.

Emission reduction in Dutch ports, especially in Rotterdam, is a priority under the EU Green Deal framework. FADA’s lithium battery-powered SC solutions support this goal by offering:

• Zero exhaust emissions

• Low noise operation

• Minimal maintenance requirements

• Advanced energy management

This enables port operators to meet their sustainability targets while also gaining long-term cost advantages.

FADA’s SC solutions are optimized for high-frequency port operations:

• High maneuverability in narrow spaces with 360° steering and crab movement

• Modular structure allows easy maintenance and repair processes

• High lifting speed and stability in intensive working environments

FADA designs systems fully compliant with strict occupational health and safety (OHS) and EN norms enforced in Dutch ports, offering:

• Collision prevention via laser and ultrasonic sensors

• 360° visibility and integrated camera systems in operator cabins

• CE-certified and independently tested safety systems

• Maximum control and braking capabilities for remote operation

The Netherlands is among the European leaders in digitalization investments. FADA’s Straddle Carrier solutions, fully integrated with Industry 4.0 infrastructure, provide:

• Remote monitoring and maintenance with telemetry support

• Real-time performance data transmission

• Direct integration with ERP/MES systems

These features elevate operational visibility and control to the highest level.

While delivering advanced engineering solutions for port logistics, FADA stands out in the Dutch market for the following reasons:

• Custom dimensions and configurations tailored to European port requirements

• Expertise in lithium battery technology

• Production proximity to Europe and fast delivery capacity

• Experienced technical service team and spare parts supply network
