Lift & Move Containers Inside Your Facility
Lift, position and move containers within your factory or warehouse — without constraints or reliance on external contractors.
Indoor Container Handling Isn’t Just Tricky. It Can Be Impossible.
Equipment Won't Fit
Dangerous Fumes Inside
Cranes Lack Capacity
Costly Factory Upgrades
Hard To Scale
Handle Containers Inside With Bison
Bison container lifting jacks and dollies give your team the ability to lift, move, and work with ISO containers anywhere inside your facility. No gantry required. Better for health & safety. No fixed infrastructure dictating where and how you operate.
Lift
Attach C-Lifts to the container's corner castings and lift it clear of the truck. Lower into position or onto Bison dollies - indoors or outdoors.
Move
Move the container anywhere in your facility. If needed, use the C-Lift to transfer the container on and off the dollies.

Match The C-Lift Model To Your Operation
From hydraulic container lifting jacks with automated self-levelling, to manually operated, portable container hoists, and high-quality, German-engineered container dollies, we offer a range of practical options to suit varying container weights, sizes, workflows, space constraints and capital budgets.
Which Model Is Right For You?
Handling helium cryogenic containers in Qatar
Gulf Helium Services is a specialist industrial gas provider operating the first helium transfill facility in Qatar, supplying liquid and gaseous helium across the Middle East and North Africa. Handling around 500 cryogenic containers each year, their operations were limited by a fixed gantry crane that restricted how many containers could be serviced at once. By introducing the Bison C-Lift A Series, they can now unload and position containers across their entire facility - removing bottlenecks, expanding capacity, and enabling more flexible, higher-throughput operations.

The Problem With Indoor Container Handling
For most facilities, indoor container handling comes down to two problems.
The first is access. The heavy mobile equipment used for outdoor container work, such as reach stackers and cranes, simply does not fit through standard building doors. Even where access is possible, diesel-powered equipment generates hazardous fumes and movement is restricted in enclosed spaces.
The second is flexibility. Some facilities have an overhead gantry crane that can lift containers off trucks and place them on the ground. But gantry systems are expensive to install, fixed in one place, and often don’t handle bigger, heavier containers. They work where the crane can reach. If your workflow changes, if you need to work in a different part of the building, or if your operation expands, the gantry cannot adapt easily.
The result is facilities that are either unable to handle containers indoors at all, or constrained by infrastructure that locks in inefficiencies.

The Bison Workflow
Bison container lifting jacks and dollies give your team a portable, self-contained solution for lifting and moving containers inside your facility.
The C-Lifts attach to the container's corner castings and lift it clear of the truck chassis. From there, the container can be lowered onto the floor or dollies and repositioned anywhere in the building. When the container needs to be stabilized for loading, unloading, or modification work, it can be transferred from the dollies onto blocks. If access underneath is required at any point, the C-Lifts can elevate the container to the height needed.
Because the system is portable, it works wherever your operation needs it, not just where fixed infrastructure allows.

The Outcome: Flexibility Without Fixed Infrastructure
Overhead gantry systems solve a specific problem in a specific place. For facilities where container handling requirements are consistent and contained to one location, that can be enough.
But for operations that are growing, evolving, or handling containers across different areas of a building, a fixed system creates constraints rather than solving them. Workflow changes require infrastructure changes. Expansion means new investment in fixed assets. Work that falls outside the gantry's reach simply cannot happen.
Portable Bison systems remove those constraints. The same equipment that lifts a container off a truck today can be repositioned tomorrow to support a different workflow, a new area of the facility, or an expanded operation — without new infrastructure investments.
