Transferring Containers to and from Rail Wagons

If there is sufficient room at either end to place the stabiliser leg onto the rail wagon and there is access to the bottom corner castings, then these transfers can be done in the same manner as trailer transfers.

If there is insufficient access to the corner castings of the containers to allow the lifting lugs to be attached then a top lift frame must be used.

If the stabiliser legs cannot be placed onto the rail wagon, it is necessary to park the Sidelifter to allow the stabiliser feet to be as far as possible underneath the wagon, with the legs extended to their maximum.
