Although this container is unusual in being a side loader I take it the system can be used on any standard 20 foot or 40 foot containers?

Obviously the versatility of using standard containers has many advantages as regards shipping but I had never thought of the requirement for a system of handling the boxes without the use of cranes. Clever stuff.

The model is amazing and the diorama's that you could create with such a peice of equipment are endless. I love the tractor unit with, once again, your armour home made plating. Beautiful model.
