Container Lifts / Sidelifters (Self-loading Trailers)
The transport division, Avis Container Lift, now has a fleet of Sidelifters (self-loading trailers) which are able to lift and transport both 20ft (6m) and 40ft (12m) shipping containers. Avis Container Lift can lift up to 36 ton containers using their Steelbro Side lifter, transfer it to a waiting trailer, to a rail wagon and stack your containers two high.
Customers now have the convenience of receiving containers on the ground instead of on top of a trailer that usually has to be left in the customer’s premises while packing or unpacking the container. With the container on the ground, the customer will be able to drive a forklift in and out of the container making loading and unpacking much easier and safer. We recently did a trial project at a scrap dealer and managed to move five containers per day, where they originally were only moving two per day.
