High Capacity Container Lifting Jacks
C-Lift X Series
Delivering 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.

C-Lift X Series
-
Compact Storage Footprint
The four jacks stand upright and occupy less than 4m2 or 40 square feet of floor space in your yard, factory or warehouse. Multiple forklift pockets allow the jacks to be handled, attached and removed from the rear or the sides.
-
Runs off single-phase power supply
The X Series runs off 207 - 240 VAC, single-phase, 50 - 60 Hz power supply, drawing 32 Amps. Typical power sources are your mains supply or a portable generator. Electric cables daisy chain around three sides of the container and connect to the power packs on each jack.
-
Height Adjustable for High Cube Containers
The X Series works with all ISO container heights and lengths. The top bracket is height adjustable for fitting to standard containers and high cubes.
-
Lift capacity of 40 tonne | 88,000 lbs
Each X Series leg has a working load limit of 10,000 kg or 22,000 lbs, giving you a total working load limit of 40 tonne.
-
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.
-
Works on uneven ground
An articulating footplate gives the X Series a stable base for lifting containers on rough, loose and uneven surfaces.
C-Lift X 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 X Series on demand. A second hardwired emergency stop button sits on the ground, a safe distance from the elevated container.
-
Hydraulic counterbalance valves
Hydraulic counterbalance valves ensure the container will stay elevated in the event of an unexpected power outage or hydraulic failure.
-
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.
