Overcome Site Limitations with Bison
Bison container lifting jacks and dollies give you full control over your container operation.
Load Containers Without Docks
Lift containers on and off trucks anywhere with Bison container lifting jacks and load/unload at ground level. No loading dock or fixed infrastructure required.
Lift Containers in Tight Spaces
Bison C-Lifts attach to the container's corner castings and lift vertically, making them the ideal solution in confined yards where other equipment won't fit.
Overcome Ground Loading Limits
Bison equipment distributes weight across multiple ground contact points, avoiding the high wheel loading that requires expensive concrete reinforcement.
Grow and Change as Needed
Our equipment adapts as your operation evolves. Redeploy it across different areas of your site, reconfigure your workflow and take it with you if you relocate.
Bring Control In-House
Eliminate reliance on third-parties and seamlessly handle containers at access-restricted facilities without the security risks of outside contractors.

“We purchased the C-Lift for its portability. It can be moved into position with no difficulty, giving us a lot more flexibility.”
As GHS continued to grow, container handling became a bottleneck. With the C-Lift A Series, GHS can now unload and position containers across multiple areas of its facility - increasing workshop capacity, flexibility, and productivity.

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 portable hydraulic jacks to high-capacity systems for the heaviest containers, Bison has a model to suit your site, volume, and budget.

What common site limitations make handling containers challenging?
The most common site limitations operators face include not having loading docks, tight spaces that rule out most heavy equipment, and ground surfaces that can't bear the wheel loading of large machines without expensive reinforcement.
Fixed infrastructure adds another layer of constraint. Overhead cranes, built-in docks, and reinforced foundations lock operators into a specific layout and can't adapt as the operation changes or the business relocates.
Security and access restrictions create a different kind of challenge. For some businesses, coordinating third-party crews through regulated access points is difficult, time-consuming, or simply not permitted.
Together, these limitations often force businesses to invest in costly modifications, or accept container handling workflows that are slower and more expensive than they need to be.

How do Bison container lifting jacks help overcome site limitations?
Bison C-Lifts are portable container lifting systems that attach directly to a container's corner castings. They don't require loading docks, overhead infrastructure, or reinforced ground surfaces, which means they work effectively across a wide range of sites.
The compact footprint allows operation in confined yards and areas inaccessible to other equipment. Low ground contact loading means most surfaces can handle the equipment without modification or civil works. And because the system is fully owned and operated in-house, there's no need to coordinate third-party lift services, including at secure or restricted-access facilities.

How can I load or unload containers without loading docks?
When you need to load or unload a container at a site without a loading dock, Bison container lifting jacks can be used to lift the container off the truck and lower it to ground level. The container can then be loaded or unloaded and, once ready, lifted back onto a truck with the Bison lifts.

How can I lift containers on sites too small for cranes and other heavy equipment?
Cranes and large handling machines need room to maneuver, set up, and operate safely. On constrained sites, in narrow yards, or in areas with limited overhead clearance, those options often aren't practical regardless of lift capacity.
Bison container lifting jacks are designed to work in exactly those conditions. The equipment attaches directly to the container's corner castings and lifts vertically, which means the operational footprint stays close to the container itself. No boom radius, no outriggers, no minimum clearance requirements beyond what the container already occupies.
