Transferring 2 x 20' Containers to a 40' Trailer

If not using container joiners to transfer 2 x 20 foot containers onto a 40 foot trailer, two separate transfers are required, from the 20-foot position on the Sidelifter onto two different positions on the companion trailer. With some models of Sidelifters the companion trailer needs to be designed for wide spaced 20 foot carrying. This is not necessary when using container joiners.

Follow loading from the ground procedure except:

1. Load the first container onto the front of the 40 foot trailer in the most forward position achievable and lock all the twistlocks.
2. Load the 2nd container onto the rear set of twistlocks of the 40 foot trailer
