C-Lift X Series

High-Capacity Container Lifting Jacks

With a huge 40,000 kg | 88,000 lb lift capacity, the C-Lift X Series is the world's most powerful container lifting jack. Your fast, safe solution for lifting heavy containers on and off truck trailers.

Turn Your Forklift Into A Heavy Container Handling Machine

With the fully automated C-Lift X Series, all you need is a light forklift to transfer the heaviest containers between a chassis and the ground. By using a forklift to set up, the process is fast, safe and easy, with just one operator and no physical effort required.

Compatible with both standard and high cube containers, you can use the X Series as your primary container lift system, or pair it with an empty container handler to move and stack empties AND lift fully loaded containers on and off chassis.

Customer Story

MGF Logistics Streamlines Container Handling With The X Series

"The benefit of the Bison setup is that we no longer need a sideloader or loading dock, which helps us save space while still punching out the same volume of work. And when they're not needed, the units can be packed away and stored.”

- Jason Shill, MGF's Warehouse Manager
