Straddle Carrier - Flexible Container Handling

About us

Mobicon Systems Pty Ltd is privately owned and was established in 1994, when the Owner and Managing Director Tom Schults realised that there was a need for a more effective and economical way to handle containers in a low throughput environment. 

He set out to design a container handler that could simply take a container off a truck and place it anywhere the client needs it.

The first concept Straddle Carrier was built in 1997, and Mobicon Systems received multiple awards for its innovative design from logistic and manufacturing institutions. 

Mobicons have been sold to clients in all parts of the world, including Australia, South Africa, Japan, the United States of America, New Zealand, New Guinea and the United Kingdom. This year we will sell our 100th Mobicon container handler.

Our manufacturing and assembly plant is in Brendale, in the state of Queensland, Australia.  Only top quality components are used, such as Bosch Rexroth hydraulics and Deutz engines.  The Mobicon is CE approved.

Research and Development

Since the first Mobicon was manufactured, many improvements have been made.  Our in-house R&D team continuously tests new designs to make the Mobicon even more reliable, affordable, safe and operationally friendly.

Sales

We have agents in the USA, South Africa and Japan. Other parts of the world we cover from Australia. We are currently expanding our agencies world wide.

After Sales Support

We place a high priority on After Sales Support.  We realise the importance of our clients having minimal unplanned downtime.  The Mobicon is designed to be very easy to maintain (some of our clients compare the maintenance to that of a 4-tonne forklift truck).

We ensure that we have trained repair agents in all parts of the world where Mobicons are used.  A selected spare parts package is supplied with every Mobicon that is used in remote locations.  Our spare parts holding is planned to quickly respond to the needs of our clients.
