Transferring 2 X 20' Containers To and From 40' Trailers

Follow loading to and from the ground procedure except:

• Load the first container onto the front of the 40' trailer in the most forward position achievable and lock the twistlocks.
• Sidelifter lifting lugs can be fitted into the outside hole of the corner castings of containers. This allows handling of tightly spaced containers.
• Load the 2nd container onto the rear set of twistlocks, with the centre pair of lifting lugs fitted to the outside as described above. Lock the front twistlocks only of this set. Lift the rear of the container slightly to ensure maximum spacing. Lower and lock the rear twistlocks As 20' containers are actually only 19'-10" sufficient spacing can be gained for chain clearance using this method.
