Mobilize Your Containers with Self-Lifting Legs
Give your containers legs, and your team self-sufficiency with the Bison C-Lift T Series, a modular container lift system that retrofits to a variety of ISO containers.
Mobilize Your Containers
For total independence, the C-Lift T Series equips you to rapidly deploy valuable containerized assets, without the costs, delays, and downtime that come from relying on third-party vendors.
With lift capacities of up to 30 tonnes or 66,000 lbs, the T Series is an ideal solution for defense applications, field services, emergency response, event logistics, and containerized energy.

Explore The Features
Legs Travel With The Container
The legs stow safely at the front and rear of the container during transport, staying inside regular vehicle width limits.
Quick and Easy To Deploy
To deploy, the legs are simply swung into position and locked in place with a two-bolt brace. The lift is controlled by a wireless handheld remote.
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 T Series a stable base for lifting containers on rough, loose, and uneven surfaces.
Lift Capacity Up To 30 Tonnes | 66,000 lbs
The T Series is available in two lift capacities. The C-Lift T20 with 20 tonne | 44,000 lbs working load limit. And the C-Lift T30 with a 30 tonne | 66,000 lbs working load limit.
Dual Powered HPU
The T20 HPU is dual-powered, running off both built-in 24 Volt DC batteries and AC power from a portable generator or mains supply. Use AC power to recharge the batteries.

“It's highly simplistic and that's what we love about it and the truck drivers love it. A lift only takes around 10 minutes.”

C-Lift T Series
-
Hydraulic Counterbalance Valves
Hydraulic counterbalance valves ensure the container will stay elevated in the event of an unexpected power outage or hydraulic failure.
-
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 T Series on demand. A second hardwired emergency stop button can be positioned on the ground, 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.

Quality Construction
The T Series legs are constructed from high-strength structural steel and are physically proof tested to 150% times their working load limit before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the lift capacity of the Bison T Series?
The Bison T Series has a lift capacity of up to 30,000 kg (66,000 lb), depending on the model selected. It is designed to safely lift and transfer loaded ISO shipping containers without requiring cranes, reach stackers, or other heavy container handling equipment.
-
How does the Bison T Series work?
The Bison T Series attaches directly to the ISO container corner castings and uses synchronized hydraulic lifting legs to raise the container. Once elevated, a truck, trailer, or chassis can be driven underneath, allowing containers to be loaded or unloaded safely without cranes or fixed loading infrastructure.
-
What types of containers can the Bison T Series lift?
The Bison T Series is compatible with standard ISO shipping containers, including 20ft, 40ft, and high cube containers. It can also lift many modified shipping containers and containerized assets, including battery energy storage systems (BESS), mobile power units, telecommunications shelters, modular buildings, and process skids. As long as a container has accessible ISO corner castings and is within the system's rated lifting capacity, the Bison T Series can typically lift it.
-
How many people are required to operate the Bison T Series?
The Bison T Series is designed for operation by a single trained operator using a handheld controller. Its automated lifting process reduces labour requirements and enables efficient container transfers without large lifting crews or external lifting contractors.
-
Can the Bison T Series be transported with the container?
Yes. One of the key advantages of the Bison T Series is that the lifting legs can remain attached to the container during transport. This allows organizations to transport both the container and lifting system together, enabling loading and unloading operations at multiple locations without additional lifting equipment.
-
What applications is the Bison T Series best suited to?
The Bison T Series is designed for organizations that regularly load, unload, and transfer shipping containers between vehicles and ground level. It is well suited to logistics operations, manufacturing facilities, construction projects, and organizations handling modified shipping containers where a portable lifting solution is required.
