Used Terex Empty Container Handler

Terex FDC25K7DB – Dual Box Empty Container Handler

Machine Overview

The Terex FDC25K7DB is a heavy‑duty Empty Container Handler designed for port terminals and high‑volume logistics yards where efficiency, reliability, and space optimization are critical.

Equipped with a Double Box Spreader, the machine can handle two empty containers (20’ or 40’) simultaneously, with a 10‑ton lifting capacity and stacking capability up to 2‑over‑7. This configuration provides a clear operational advantage in congested or space‑restricted container yards.

The unit is powered by a Volvo TAD762VE diesel engine (185 kW, Tier 3) paired with a Dana or ZF transmission, delivering consistent power, smooth operation, and proven durability across long working shifts.

Addressing Real‑World Yard Challenges

In busy container terminals, the movement of empty containers is often a major source of inefficiency — causing unnecessary trips, fuel waste, and internal traffic congestion.

The FDC25K7DB directly addresses these challenges. Its dual‑box handling capability effectively doubles productivity per move, reducing the number of trips required while improving stacking speed and yard flow. The result is lower operating hours per unit, smoother circulation, and faster turnaround times.

Operator‑Focused Design and Low‑Maintenance Operation

From a fleet and yard management perspective, downtime and maintenance costs are as critical as lifting performance.

This model is built with wet‑disc brake systems, offering long service life and minimal maintenance requirements. The hydraulic system is designed for stable operation under continuous load, reducing the risk of overheating or performance loss.

Inside the cab, operators benefit from excellent visibility and a clean, functional layout. The Logitex monitoring system provides real‑time information on fuel level, engine temperature, RPM, hydraulic pressure, fault codes, and operating hours — ensuring full control and operational confidence throughout the shift.

Operational Impact and Efficiency Gains

Once deployed in daily operations, the benefits become tangible:

• Reduced internal yard traffic and faster container handling
• Up to 50 % fewer moves, leading to lower fuel consumption
• Increased daily throughput without adding equipment or manpower
• Reduced operator fatigue through stable handling and clear visibility

The outcome is a more efficient container yard, lower operating costs, and dependable performance — allowing operations managers to focus on productivity, not equipment concerns.
