Custom 20ft 40ft Container side crane | LUYI Vehicle

The economics of container logistics change when you remove the crane dependency. Every time a standard trailer waits for a reach stacker or port crane to load or unload a box, that's dead time — the driver is idle, the equipment is idle, and the delivery window is at risk. This side-lift trailer converts that wait into an independent operation. The 37-ton hydraulic crane mounted on the chassis picks containers directly from ground level or from container stacks, positions them onto the trailer bed, and secures them for transport — all driven by the onboard 4102 diesel engine and hydraulic station without any external power source or lifting equipment.

That self-sufficiency opens up container operations in locations that standard logistics chains can't efficiently reach: inland depots without crane infrastructure, remote industrial sites, small ports with limited equipment, and cross-border routes where handling facilities are inconsistent. A logistics operator running this trailer isn't constrained by what lifting equipment is available at the pickup point — the lifting equipment travels with the load.

The chassis extends from 20ft to 40ft, covering both standard container formats without hardware changes between jobs. Three-axle mechanical suspension keeps the running gear simple and maintainable in field conditions — no air management systems, no complex electronics, straightforward servicing wherever the truck operates. The hydraulic station is integrated cleanly into the chassis structure, accessible for maintenance without requiring specialist tools or dealership support.

As a container side lift trailer manufacturer running our own China side loader trailer production line, the crane assembly, hydraulic system, and extendable chassis are all engineered and built in-house at LUYI Vehicle. Ordering factory direct gives you direct access to our engineering team for crane capacity, chassis length range, and hydraulic system configuration tailored to your specific container handling requirements.
