In order for ports and terminals to operate smoothly, containers need to be transported quickly and safely. The LCH Series of loaded container handlers is engineered for fast lifting cycles, reliable operation and efficient serviceability.
The LCH Series is designed to quickly and safely stack/unstack loaded ISO containers with models that can handle up to 6-high stacking of 9’6” loaded containers with single-stacking attachment.
The modular design allows for reduced freight cost, easy assembly, and efficient parts replacement, ideal for transportation between terminals. The elevated cab position and angled glass roof provide the operator with superior visibility at all load elevations.
While focusing on robustness and comfort, we also understand that time is money. That’s why each LCH Series is engineered to provide optimal operating and fuel efficiency. The high-performance Cummins diesel engine are powerful, yet offer reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Features such as variable pumps adjust oil flow accordingly to provide quicker lifting cycles while also reducing fuel consumption.
As with all Hoist Liftruck equipment, the LCH Series is 100% made in the USA. More than 75% of each truck is manufactured at our Midwest factory with the remaining components sourced from reputable companies, such as Dana, Cummins and Parker.

Accumulator in lift circuit protects against shock loads Hoist Liftruck’s line of BIG TRUCKS starts with a strong foundation. The modular design of the LCH Series provides excellent serviceability without sacrificing strength or durability. The LCH Series has been designed and tested to meet or exceed current, worldwide regulations for stability, sound levels and safety.
Anchoring the LCH Series is the 100%-welded steel chassis, which boasts heavy steel cross supports to distributing weight evenly throughout the truck. Bolt-on components, such as fuel and hydraulic tanks, provide additional durability and optimal heat dissipation, as well as easy removal and attachment for repairs or shipping. Integrated lifting points also allow for safe handling and transport.
