Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a forklift or crane to load a container?
No, a tilt tray truck can load a 6m (20ft) shipping container without the need for additional equipment. The tilt tray tilts and slides to ground level, allowing the container to be winched directly onto the truck bed. This method is efficient, safe, and ideal for locations where cranes or forklifts aren’t available or practical. It also reduces costs and setup time. Once the container is in place, the tray is returned to its horizontal position and the container is strapped down securely for transport. This makes container relocation easy, even in remote or limited-access areas.
What size containers can be transported by tilt tray?
Most tilt tray trucks can transport standard 6-metre (20-foot) shipping containers. These are commonly used for site offices, storage, and portable workshops. The tilt tray provides a secure flatbed for loading and unloading containers safely without the need for cranes or forklifts. Containers are winched onto the tray and secured with heavy-duty restraints for stability during transport. While some tilt trays can handle larger or custom-sized containers, the 6m model is most practical for access and weight reasons. It’s always best to confirm the container’s size and load conditions before booking to ensure the right equipment is used.
