Chainlift installation

With its flexibility and multifunctionality, the VDL chainlift system offers the right solution for every transport problem.
The loading and unloading of a container can easily be carried out by the driver from the cabin within a few minutes. The combination of a lifting chain with claw makes it possible to connect the container automatically. The driver does not have to leave his cabin.
The pick-up point is located at the bottom of the container. Because of this and the fact that the tilting and sliding movements of the chain system are independent, the lifting angle is minimal. This results in a light and compact construction with maximum loading capacity.

Another advantage of this is that a container can be picked up from two sides. Contrary to a hook or cable installation, the pickup point at the bottom of the container enables sea storage containers as well as press containers to be picked up with the chain system at both the front and the rear.
The chainlift installations have a capacity ranging from 16 to 34 tonnes.
