When lifting containers on steep elevations it is necessary to lift one end of the container higher than the other so that it can be located on the twist-locks.
The procedure is always to lift the up-hill end of the container higher than the downhill end.
Figure 16
The SMARTlift system measures the trailer angle (elevation) and allows the uphill end of the container to be lifted higher than normal, so as to allow the downhill end to be located on the twist-locks.
The maximum camber and elevation limits for Sidelifters are:
|
40' Container |
20' Container |
Camber |
+/- 6 degrees |
+/- 6 degrees |
Elevation |
