At Container Solutions, we understand the importance of precision, safety, and efficiency when handling heavy loads like storage containers. Our advanced truck-mounted cranes are designed to excel in challenging environments, ensuring seamless placement and transport of containers for a variety of industries, from construction to logistics.
In this blog, we showcase a recent use case that highlights the capabilities of truck-mounted cranes in positioning a 10-foot container with remarkable precision and stability.
Case Study: A Perfectly Positioned 10-Foot Box
In a recent operation, our team at Container Solutions successfully delivered and positioned a 10-foot storage container weighing approximately 1.4 tonnes. Even with additional items loaded inside, the total weight remained well within the crane’s capacity, demonstrating its robust load-handling abilities.
Key Highlights:
- Optimal Positioning for Safety:
With a crane reach of 10–11 metres, we were able to position the truck in a secure location away from potential hazards. This flexibility is especially valuable in tight or uneven job sites, ensuring safety for both operators and surrounding structures. - Precision in Uneven Terrain:
Uneven ground often presents challenges during container placement. Our crane rigging ensured that the container stayed perfectly level during placement. This level of precision guarantees a stable and secure position, even on tricky surfaces. - Enhanced Support for Stability:
To ensure the container remained stable over time, we prepared blocks to support its weight. While concrete blocks were initially used, we found treated or hard timber to be far more effective, as concrete can crack under heavy loads. Treated timber provided a durable and long-lasting solution.
Benefits of Using Truck-Mounted Cranes for Container Placement
- Safety and Flexibility:
The 10–11 metre reach of our cranes allows for safe and secure operations, even in challenging or hazardous environments. - Precision Placement:
Our cranes’ ability to keep containers perfectly level during placement ensures stability and prevents shifting over time. - Durable and Reliable Support Systems:
By using high-quality treated timber for foundational support, we enhance the longevity and safety of containers placed on-site. - Time Efficiency:
The seamless process of lifting, levelling, and securing containers reduces setup time and operational downtime, ensuring your project stays on schedule.
