In their efforts to only use the best and most reliable components on the market, Mobicon Systems has recently made the decision to exclusively use the Caterpillar branded engines in their line of light-weight straddle carriers. Our Managing Director, Tom Schults, had this to say, “Caterpillar is not only known for their reliable and quality-focused products, but they are also known for their ‘after-sales back-up’ strategy. Mobicon is an international business, and we deal in straddle carriers on the global stage; it’s important that our engines are covered no matter where on the globe our light-weight straddle carriers may reside. We also think that our clients would prefer a product that guarantees quality and are prepared to pay a bit more upfront to benefit from the long life and high productivity of the Caterpillar powered container straddle carriers.
Why Caterpillar? Well, Caterpillar is one of the most established names in heavy industrial equipment manufacturing and they have proven year by year that they are the industry leaders in this field. Having started in 1948 in the US, they have now effectively solidified their foothold in almost every major country in the world, ensuring that our straddle carriers are consistently covered. The choice was also influenced by the reliability of these engines, as Caterpillar engines are renowned for being reliable and easy to service/fix if, by chance, things do go wrong. We understand that machine downtime is a big deal, so this choice in straddle carrier engine is one that should effectively minimize the chances of container straddle carriers sitting idle. This choice of engine, coupled with our straddle carrier point load system, makes our solutions one of the best on the market today.
Mobicon Systems is always looking for ways to improve our products, and this was one step of many that we take to upkeep our position as one of the industries leading straddle carrier producers. Our solutions have proven time and time again that we save our clients money, are safer than the competition and that our light-weight straddle carriers get the job done quicker.
