Transport company customers really appreciate the sidelifter service. They can pack and unpack containers at their convenience instead of having to invest in infrastructures and manpower to pack or unpack containers as and when they arrive.
The importers and exporters can integrate the packing into there production line or distribution chain. This obviates the need for the loading docks and greatly reduces the need for warehouse space and related double handling. An exporter does not have to pre-consolidate freight and then pack containers. Instead, the goods can be consolidated in the container direct from production. Similarly, and importer can direct his container to the point of consumption rather that to warehouse.
What's more this can be done at ground level where it is both faster and safer, reducing the potential for accidents to workers and damage to goods.
All in all, customers who have had their containers delivered on the ground quickly learn to appreciate the many advantages and for this reason, the market for sidelifters is continuing to grow.
