Container Moving Wheels & Jacks
Container moving wheels and jacks are vital tools in industries that constantly rely on the movement and transportation of heavy containers, such as shipping, logistics, construction, warehousing, and entertainment.
These tools help to facilitate the safe, efficient, and flexible relocation of containers and other heavy items, streamlining operations and minimising downtime.
WHAT ARE CONTAINER MOVING WHEELS?
Sometimes referred to as container skates or container dollies, container moving wheels are designed to move large and heavy containers, These wheels typically support the weight of a fully loaded shipping container, making them an invaluable asset for handling and relocating containers over short distances within sites or storage facilities. They are usually made from durable materials such as reinforced steel or alloy, enabling them to withstand extreme weight and outdoor conditions.
WHAT ARE CONTAINER MOVING JACKS?
Container moving jacks are lifting tools that allow for the easy and safe lifting of containers off the ground, typically to attach wheels or dollies underneath. Hydraulic jacks are often used in this context due to their high capacities and the minimal effort required.
In combination, container moving jacks and wheels for a complete system for quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, safely lifting and moving containers without the need for a crane and spreader beam system.
BENEFITS OF CONTAINER WHEELS AND JACKS
- Cost Efficient
- Optimal Flexibility & Mobility
- Improved Safety
- Reduced Time & Labour
- Versatile Across Industries
TYPES OF CONTAINER MOVIING WHEELS & JACKS
HYDRAULIC JACKS: These are powerful tools and most commonly used for lifting heavy containers. Typically have high lifting capacities.
ROTATING CONTAINER WHEELS: Ideal for precise positioning. These wheels allow containers to be rotated within areas where space is limited.
LOCKABLE CASTER WHEELS: This type ensures that once the container is positioned, it stays securely in place.
ROLLER SKATES: These are low-profile skates equipped with heavy-duty wheels and are typically most useful for low-clearance containers or pallets.
WHERE ARE THESE USED?
- Shipping & Logistics
- Construction Sites
- Warehousing & Storage
- Manufacturing
- Event & Exhibition Set-Up
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN BEFORE BUYING?
WEIGHT CAPACITY: Select a set wheel or jacks based on the weight of the container you need to move. Standard ISO containers can weigh up to 4 tonnes when empty, so ensure you only used rated equipment.
MATERIAL & DURABILITY: Opt for high-quality equipment, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or reinforced alloy can withstand the rigours of heavy items and harsh environmental conditions.
EASE OF USE: Choose a user-friendly design, like a hydraulic hack with safety locks or wheel brakes, to make operations smoother and safer.
MANEUVERABILITY: Depending on your intended use, consider wheels that allow for 360-degree rotation, which is suited for confined spaces.
