This item is a unique design! It is a pallet truck specially adapted for shipping containers.
This item consists of a left side and a right side. You can also order two pairs of 2 pallet trucks to move the whole, but it will be more difficult to maneuver compared to 2 fixed side wheels + 1 pair of container pallet trucks.
It attaches laterally to the ISO 1161 corner (international container standard) and then locks in place to prevent movement during transport.
It is not necessary to lift the container off the ground to align the ISO corner with the pallet truck's attachment system. However, ensure that your ground is perfectly flat.
In the high position, the maximum lift of the container will be 10 cm.
On the other side, simply install a pair of rubber side-fix wheels (reference 99349).
Once this installation is done and leveled, the total height of the container is increased by approximately 6 cm, which should be taken into account beforehand.
It is important not to install the pallet trucks on the side of the container door, otherwise you will not be able to open the doors (in case you need to access the inside). The effort required to move a container weighing 6 tons in total (2 tons of tare and 4 tons of load inside) is 60 kilograms at startup and then 40 kg during continuous pulling. This means that 2 people are enough to move it! It is also possible to have 2 people at each pallet truck or add a fifth person pushing from the other side. Everything is possible depending on the load, but we personally conducted our tests using an electronic dynamometer so that the effort is quantifiable and easily achievable.
For a detailed explanation, you can find the installation available in our dedicated tutorial section on our website.
As a video is worth more than a long explanation, here below is a 3D simulation of the product's use.
