R&A Container Lifting and Moving services lift systems can provide a unique and effective service for Bay Area businesses. Our self-loading semi-trailers lift and place your loaded container at ground level or onto a truck for transport. With this system, the need for forklifts and/or cranes is eliminated. Side-loaders, also known as side-lifters or self-loading trailers, do not cause damage to the loading or unloading surfaces as can occur with traditional methods of sliding or dragging a container on and off of trucks. Also, we are able to avoid concrete cracks which generally occur when containers are dropped on the ground from a crane or fork lift use. Another added benefit is that loaded containers experience minimal shifting, preventing containers from tilting or dropping.

Our container side-loading system allows quick and easy transfer of shipping containers on or off of trailers or chassis for easy loading/unloading of shipped contents. This is a great for business who need logistics for loading and unloading containers quickly and carefully from one mode of transport to another.

Whether loaded or empty, our side-loading trucks make stacking containers quick and easy. Containers can be stacked 2 high, saving both space and time.
