Grounded Loading Dock

C-Lift F Series

For buildings with no raised loading docks, the F Series makes it fast, safe and efficient to lift containers off chassis and move cargo in and out of your facility at ground level.

Transform Buildings With No Dock

With a lift capacity of 32 tonne or 70,000 lbs, the C-Lift F Series is a bolt-to-ground container hoist that can be integrated into your building design, and replicated across multiple ground-based loading areas.

Unlike our other portable container lifting jack models, the F Series is fixed in place. This design offers enhanced safety, through the use of permanent guide rails and bollards, and faster container turn times, taking just 6 - 8 minutes for one worker to set up and complete a full container transfer.

    The F Series is available in 4 or 6 hoist combinations, with different configurations possible depending on the size of the containers you're receiving.

  • Fast Container Turn Times
    5000 F32 865x487 Tf 2

    With guide rails for easy alignment, and four 2.2 kW motors for fast lifting, the F Series is designed for fast, safe container transfers.

  • Easy Operation With No Heavy Lifting
    5008 F32 865x487 TG 9

    The tethered attachment frames make for quick setup times and no heavy handling. Suspending the container on cables offers free movement for aligning with twist locks.

  • Self levelling control system
    5000 F32 865x487 Tf 6

    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.

  • Lift capacity of 32 tonne | 70,000 lbs
    5001 F32 865x487 TG 2

    Each hoist has a working load limit of 8,000 kg or 17,600 lbs, giving you a total working load limit of 32 tonne.

C-Lift F Series

  • Wireless remote
    5006 F32 865x487 TG 7

    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
    5000 F32 865x487 Tf 1

    An emergency stop button on the remote will stop the F Series on demand. A second hardwired emergency stop button can be positioned on the ground or wall, a safe distance from the elevated container.

  • Safety rated control system
    5007 F32 865x487 TG 8

    A safety-rated control system, with dual-channel redundancy, controls the pumps and motors, keeping the container level and each leg synchronized.

  • Dual lifting cables
    5003 F32 865x487 TG 4

    Dual lifting cables, rated to 5 times the working load limit, share the load on each leg. If one cable failed unexpectedly, the other cable can carry the full load by itself.

  • Hydraulic counterbalance valves
    5000 F32 865x487 Tf 3

    Hydraulic counterbalance valves ensure the container will stay elevated in the event of an unexpected power outage or hydraulic failure.
