How to handle shipping containers

What is a straddle carrier and how does it improve efficiency?

We offer shipping container storage at our 88 shed warehouse on The Port of Felixstowe. Being able to collect from the The Port of Felixstowe overnight, set down the import shipping containers and even stack them for storage is something our customers make full use of. 

Our Combilift Straddle Carrier in action at our container yard Felixstowe.

The Combilift offers 360° visibility from the driver position and 2 minute off-loading from trailer to ground mean faster loading times without the need for trailers waiting to be loaded, as seen in our video.

We are also able to offer quick and efficient 20ft empty lift off and staking with our 16 tonne fork truck [Graham].

With unbeatable turnaround speed we are able to offer safe stuffing/de-stuffing at ground level by putting containers on the floor. We are able to offer an effective and flexible container handling solution with our own trucks on night and day shift, with onward road import and export container delivery for the UK.

With our Megalift trailer we can even offer the same service on-site.

We lift, transport and set down 20′, 30′, 40′,  and 45′ high cube containers, reefer and flat rack containers for loading and unloading, storage or inspection. 

This flexibility means we are able to collect, unload on the floor and store for our customers within hours, even when the containers arrive overnight through The Port of Felixstowe.
