ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled, counterbalanced, container transporter vehicle having a frame, a counterweight supported at the rear, an elevating upright, carriage pick-up and lift frame assembly for lifting, transporting and stacking containers in which a tower structure supports a cab providing an operator's station with controls for hydraulically raising and lowering the upright, the cab has a wide angle front window area that partially wraps around the operator's station to permit a horizontal line of sight to the maximum extension of the lift frame and is sloped back to afford high angle vision to the maximum vertical extension of the upright for high stacking containers. In addition, the tower structure is positioned rearwardly of the center, and projects upwardly to a height that provides an elevated line of sight from the cab through the upright, the inner rail section of which is shorter than the outer rails to allow a better view through the upright and beneath a container in the transport, partially elevated position and the outer rails being mounted on the frame closer together to narrow the track width of the vehicle for better spotting containers on the tarmac.
