Client Enquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific information regarding our container logistics 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.
