Service Breakdown

Cost-Effective On-Site Container Self-Loading & Offloading

Offloading shipping containers conventionally requires coordinating expensive mobile cranes and certified riggers. SecureShift solves this with specialized sidelifter trailers. Equipped with dual hydraulic crane arms and outriggers, our sidelifter picks up or places full or empty 20ft and 40ft ISO containers flush onto the ground at your premises in minutes.

Typical Industry Applications:

Ground-level container placement at construction and engineering sites
Factory container loading/unloading without raised loading docks
Farm, agricultural, and packhouse container delivery
Relocation of converted container offices, workshops, and storage units
Transferring containers between rail yards, ports, and private yards

Safety & Compliance Standards

The sidelifter deploys hydraulic outrigger stabilizer legs onto solid ground or timber spreader pads before hoisting, ensuring complete operational stability and zero risk of trailer tipping.

Client Enquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific information regarding our container logistics innovation operations.

How much ground clearance is required for a sidelifter?

A sidelifter requires level, hard ground alongside the trailer (approximately 4 to 5 meters of clear space on the offload side) and sufficient overhead clearance.

Can you lift loaded shipping containers?

Yes. Our sidelifters are engineered to handle fully laden containers within legal South African axle and road weight limits.

Does ground placement make packing easier?

Substantially. With the container resting directly on the ground, workers and pallet jacks can walk straight into the container without requiring ramps or loading docks.
