    HIAB, part of Cargotec, has container lifter for unloading trucks and for work in areas bereft of infrastructure.

    Originally developed for the logistics needs of military, the Multilift Commander is an application for the popular Multilift XR21 hooklift that enables both ISO 1C and 1CC freight containers, and DIN standard demountable flatracks, to be handled by the same truck. 

    "This is a new application for the commercial hooklift market. It adds value and versatility to our customers' hooklift trucks, as switching from handling flatracks to lifting ISO containers weighing up to 16.5 tons can now be done at the simple push of a button," said Hiab divisional sales chief Henri Janhonen. 

    "It means customers can transport a container to any location that a truck can access, where no port crane or heavy forklift truck exists, and drop it off and collect it again," said Mr Janhonen. 

    The cost savings and flexibility that this provides will make a massive difference to their ability to transport goods to and from inconvenient sites, or remote locations. 

    Uses for the Multilift Commander include cargo and intermodal applications, or large warehousing, construction, and project logistics." 

    The product is new to the commercial market, but has been in use for many years in the governmental sector, where thousands of Multilift units have been supplied. 

    Available in two lengths for three-axle or four-axle trucks, the Commander container handling unit consists of three parts: a lifting frame and rear support rollers, both made from high-tensile steel, and a stowage frame.
