C-Lift F Series
For buildings with no raised loading docks, the F Series makes it fast, safe and efficient to lift containers off chassis and move cargo in and out of your facility at ground level.
Transform Buildings With No Dock
With a lift capacity of 32 tonne or 70,000 lbs, the C-Lift F Series is a bolt-to-ground container hoist that can be integrated into your building design, and replicated across multiple ground-based loading areas.
Unlike our other portable container lifting jack models, the F Series is fixed in place. This design offers enhanced safety, through the use of permanent guide rails and bollards, and faster container turn times, taking just 6 - 8 minutes for one worker to set up and complete a full container transfer.

C-Lift F Series
-
Set up for 20' or 40' containers or both
The F Series is available in 4 or 6 hoist combinations, with different configurations possible depending on the size of the containers you're receiving.
-
Fast Container Turn Times
With guide rails for easy alignment, and four 2.2 kW motors for fast lifting, the F Series is designed for fast, safe container transfers.
-
Easy Operation With No Heavy Lifting
The tethered attachment frames make for quick setup times and no heavy handling. Suspending the container on cables offers free movement for aligning with twist locks.
-
Self levelling control system
Onboard sensors control the pumps and motors, keeping the container level and each leg synchronized. The default mode is self-leveling, however, the operator can select and control individual legs, or groups of legs, if required.
-
Lift capacity of 32 tonne | 70,000 lbs
Each hoist has a working load limit of 8,000 kg or 17,600 lbs, giving you a total working load limit of 32 tonne.
C-Lift F Series
-
Wireless remote
A wireless handheld remote control allows the operator to move freely, monitor each lift, and remain a safe distance from the elevated container.
-
Emergency stops
An emergency stop button on the remote will stop the F Series on demand. A second hardwired emergency stop button can be positioned on the ground or wall, a safe distance from the elevated container.
-
Safety rated control system
A safety-rated control system, with dual-channel redundancy, controls the pumps and motors, keeping the container level and each leg synchronized.
-
Dual lifting cables
Dual lifting cables, rated to 5 times the working load limit, share the load on each leg. If one cable failed unexpectedly, the other cable can carry the full load by itself.
-
Hydraulic counterbalance valves
Hydraulic counterbalance valves ensure the container will stay elevated in the event of an unexpected power outage or hydraulic failure.
