deugro expands cargo handling capabilities at warehouse facility in Baytown, Texas

With the addition of a new straddle carrier to its expansive 50-acre (20.2-hectare) Cedar-Port Operations and Logistics Terminal (COLT) at Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, Texas, deugro Houston is further enhancing its cargo handling capabilities.

The specialized material-handling powerhouse is engineered to lift, shift and transport a variety of container types and smaller breakbulk items—up to 95,000 pounds (43,091 kilograms)— across COLT.

What makes this straddle carrier special is that its capabilities were specifically adapted and optimized for best-possible use at COLT. For this purpose, deugro engaged the specialists at dteq Transport Engineering Solutions (dteq), who developed an upgraded tailor-made design.

“dteq supported the initial design phase by tailoring it to the specific needs required to meet all current cargo handling requirements at COLT. In addition, dteq provided design adjustments for the tailor-made spreader/lift beam to maximize the straddle carrier’s usability for the future loads and applications it will need to handle at COLT,” said Franklin Alvarez, Regional Director Transport Engineering Americas at dteq.

“The new straddle carrier represents more than cutting-edge capability—it’s a testament to our commitment to operational excellence, safety and efficiency. This investment reinforces deugro’s position as a leading project terminal and warehouse provider in Texas,” said Ryan Blewett, Vice President, Strategy and Development for deugro in North America.
