Road haulage DELIVERIES TO GROUND

CONVENTIONAL HAULAGE

DELIVERIES TO GROUND
For many shippers the single biggest problem associated with importing or exporting is how to safely and efficiently load or unload their product in to a shipping container. Operating Europe’s largest fleet of self-loading container trailers gives the customer another option ñ Have the container lowered to the ground and safely loaded at ground level.

Containerlift fleet of self-loading vehicles will lift standard ISO shipping containers, 20ft, 30ft, 40ft and 45ft weighing up to 36tonnes, to and from the ground, other vehicles and rail wagons.

There are many advantages including safety for having a container delivered to the ground:

Load at your own pace
A shipping container can be lowered to the ground and left on site. Once it is full and ready for shipping a vehicle can return to your site deliver a fresh empty container, collect the full box and deliver it to the quay. Loading the shipping container at your own pace, avoids disruption to your operations and the need to hire additional staff to assist with loading. The cargo can be packed into the container more efficiently thus preventing possible damage during shipping.

No need for loading facilities
With a container delivered to the ground there is no need for costly ramps or loading dock levelling facilities.

Avoid vehicle waiting charges
Vehicles kept waiting onsite quickly accrue demurrage charges if kept while being loaded or unloaded. Our self-loading vehicles can deliver the shipping container to the customers’ premises, lower it to the ground and return at a later time once the container is ready for collection.

No restrictions
A facility that has three loading bays can handle three containers and no more. With shipping containers delivered to the ground the only limitation is the amount of space available.

Improved Health & Safety
Loading at ground level greatly reduces the risk of injury to personnel and the risk of damage to the freight. This is particularly important when handling heavy, awkward or valuable cargo.

Security
A container sitting on a dropped out trailer is easily stolen. A container sitting on the ground is far more secure.
