Meet Bison at the Defence Manufacturing Conference (DMC) Florida – March 2026
Talk to us about container lifting, mobility, and logistics solutions built for defence manufacturing environments.
Why Container Handling Matters at DMC
The Defense Manufacturing Conference brings together leaders focused on strengthening the U.S. defense manufacturing industrial base and efficient container handling is a big part of that. Defense manufacturing environments face specific challenges that make container handling anything but simple:
-
Reliance on cranes, forklifts, or external vendors adds cost, creates delays, and limits flexibility when equipment or contractors aren’t immediately available.
-
Limited factory and yard space makes large lifting equipment impractical, especially in confined production areas.
-
Inefficient processes and manual workarounds slow schedules and increase risk when speed, safety, and precision are critical.
Modern defense manufacturing demands safer, more efficient, and space-conscious ways to lift, weigh, and move containers.
This is where Bison’s portable container handling systems can help.
Container Lifting and Mobility Solutions for Defence Manufacturing
Compact, mobile, and purpose-built for manufacturing environments, Bison’s container lifting, weighing and mobility solutions support safer handling, reduced downtime, and greater operational control across production and logistics workflows.

About the Defence Manufacturing Conference (DMC)
Join Bison at the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2025, held March 30 to April 2 in Orlando. Recognised as the leading defence manufacturing conference, DMC brings together government, industry, and academic leaders to advance innovation across the U.S. defence manufacturing industrial base.
Bison will be exhibiting at Booth 320, showcasing our portable container lifting and weighing systems purpose-built for defence manufacturing environments. Visit us to explore the full Bison range and connect with Christa Klein, President of Bison USA, to discuss real-world container handling challenges and solutions relevant to defence manufacturing operations.
Why Meet With Bison at DMC
Defense manufacturers need compact, efficient ways to lift, move and weigh containers. Traditional cranes and heavy handlers can drive up costs, slow schedules, and don’t fit tight spaces. Bison gives manufacturing teams the control you need, with a range of compact, reliable container lifting, weighing, and mobility solutions that keep operations agile, cost-effective, and on-schedule.
Reduce Reliance on Heavy Equipment
Cut costs and inefficiencies by eliminating the need for cranes, forklifts, and other oversized machinery to lift, weigh and move containers.
Overcome Factory & Site Limitations
Handle containers at facilities with capacity, space or security restrictions with compact, mobile solutions designed for factory and yard environments.
Keep Container Handling In-House
Remove reliance on third parties and outside crane vendors. Take charge of container handling to avoid delays and maintain full control over schedules.

-
What does Bison do for defence manufacturers?
Bison designs and manufactures container lifting, mobility, and handling solutions used in defence manufacturing environments where safety, flexibility, and speed matter. Our systems help defence manufacturers move heavy containers without relying on cranes or forklifts, even in constrained or active production facilities.
-
Where is Bison’s booth located?
Bison will be located at Booth 320 in the exhibition hall.
Visit this page closer to the event for a hall map and directions on how to find us quickly on the show floor. Container handling systems like Bison's C-Lifts give defense teams flexibility, speed, and independence. They can be operated by small crews, deploy rapidly, and work in places where cranes, forklifts, or PLS trucks can’t reach. This boosts responsiveness, reduces reliance on external support, and keeps container movements fully under the unit’s control. -
