How to Transport Container Houses

The transportation of container houses mainly employs vertical loading/unloading methods and horizontal loading/unloading methods, and specialized handling tools or caster equipment can also be used.

Vertical Loading/Unloading Method

The vertical loading/unloading method mainly relies on powerful lifting machinery and is relatively common at specialized container terminals. Container loading and unloading operations on ships are carried out with the help of quayside container cranes. In the freight yard, there are various types of machinery to choose from. For example, the straddle carrier method allows for flexible movement through the freight yard, enabling efficient container handling. The rubber-tired gantry crane method offers high mobility and can move freely within a certain range for operations. The rail-mounted gantry crane method provides excellent stability, running along predetermined tracks to precisely complete lifting tasks. However, operating a crane requires a special license and an operator; otherwise, a professional crane operator needs to be hired.

Horizontal Loading/Unloading Method

The horizontal loading/unloading method involves placing containers on chassis trailers. The trailers are then towed by tractors through ramps into the ship's hold. Upon arrival at the port, forklifts and other equipment are used for loading and unloading. At ports, trailers and forklifts are the main loading and unloading equipment. At railway stations, forklifts or parallel transfer loaders take on the task of transshipment, achieving smooth container transfers between different transportation modes.

Specialized Handling Tools

The Longsheng container handling tool can lift itself and connect to the corner fittings at the bottom of the container. Two people can manually operate it to complete lifting and movement. At the unloading point or workstation, there is no need to wait for a crane, saving thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan in shift fees per time. It comes with built-in hydraulic lifting and can be equipped with wheels for easy movement, eliminating the need to purchase or transport jacks. For short-distance transfers, it can be towed by a regular vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive traction equipment. Moreover, it does not require certified forklift operators or crane operators; two workers can operate it after simply reviewing the steps.

Caster Equipment

The specialized container mobile caster equipment is developed specifically for empty container conditions in factories. It perfectly matches the corner fittings of standard containers, is easy to install, and firmly fixed. There is no need for welding or modifying the container body. Four casters can complete the support and movement of an entire empty container. Ordinary workers can independently complete the task of moving the container without the need for professional drivers or large machinery.
