Lifting livestock container on/off

[Blue.]

I just have one 10 ton ratchet strap in each corner, cheap n easy, have used it plenty with nothing holding it on never moves.

I have straps front and rear but some frown upon them.

Boss has a 22ft container, does straw haulage so container us always on and off, he made a lifting jig! Back the lorry under lower the two winches attatch hooks to the lifting points (front and back) winch up, drive off!! All depends how offten your going to be pulling it on and off! If its a case of once or twice a year id say go for jacks on legs otherwise id go for a purpose built jig

Buy another trailer, and leave it on!

Next door have one on a hooklift,great for loading at floor level.

We have two strengthened vents and put a loader either side to lift the box off. Our three deck box is too heavy for fork extensions. Just lift off, drive trailer away and drop box on the ground. Wouldn't want it on jacks here, far too exposed.

I think I've seen that. Also great for tipping up a bit for washing out

The only downside is the bed height can be higher
