A chance conversation in a pub in New Zealand fifteen years ago between Containerlift’s Managing Director, Doug Baker, and a friend started the Sidelifter revolution in the UK.
The conversation centred about the problems associated with an employee who fell from the back of a vehicle whilst the shipping container was being unloaded. ‘Why was the container not put on the ground?’ was the obvious question asked. ‘How can a loaded shipping container be lifted to the ground at an importer’s premises without expensive container handling equipment?’ ‘Use of Sidelifter of course!’ |
