New Container Handler Lands in Leeds

Posted 10 Oct 2016

Maritime Transport Ltd (Maritime) have taken delivery of a new Double Empty Container Handler at their depot in Leeds.

The Sany Masted Empty Container Handler, supplied by Maritime’s preferred partner in lifting equipment, Cooper Specialised Handling, is the latest in a series of investments made by the haulier this year.

“We’re delighted to have been able to order a new Container Handler” said Stuart Wardlaw, Fleet Engineer. “Our depot in Leeds continues to see success so the new handler will help our operation as we see further growth in the North.”

The Sany SDCY100K6G is the first of its kind in the UK and has the added benefit of being a double empty container handler.

"Our depot in Leeds continues to see success so the new handler will help our operation as we see further growth in the North."


“We’re really pleased with the Sany Container Handler” said Ryan Rhodes, Area Manager. “Our container terminal here in Leeds continues to go from strength to strength and the new lifter has already had a brilliant impact on the business now that we are able to lift and move two containers at a time.”

“Sany’s Container Handler has a really great reputation and so we are confident it will be the right option for Maritime and their Leeds operation” said Chris Barnes, General Manager at Cooper Specialised Handling. “As Maritime continue to see fantastic growth from across the business we will endeavour to support them in whatever ways we can.”
