Maximum load capacity

Chain system for safely picking up and setting down
heavy duty containers of any size

Safety first

Our chain system is designed to allow drivers to pick up and set down (heavy) containers quickly, easily and safely. Even attaching the container is easy to do from the cab, thanks to a lifting chain with claw. With reliable, multi-position locking, your valuable load will also stay nice and safe. With our strong yet lightweight construction, the chain system containers can safely lift and transport containers of any size. That means more load capacity and volume.

Features in de spotlight

   

Pick-up point on the underside

The pick-up point of our chain system is on the underside of the container. As the tipping and sliding movements of the container are performed independently, the picking and lowering angles are minimal. This allows us to keep our construction lightweight and compact, saving more load capacity for you. In addition, sea freight containers and compactors can be lifted from both the front and back. This makes shunting faster.
   

Pusher cam for horizontal movement

The push cam on our chain system makes it easy to move containers horizontally. You can slide your container onto trailers or train wagons quickly and easily with ACTS containers.
   

Multi-position locking

The container is locked at the front end in every direction. Our combi-lock at the rear locks the container in an upward direction. The hydraulic drive of the chain has a multi-disc brake. Is the hydraulic pressure dropping unintentionally? The container will stay safely locked anyway. This ensures that your people and your materials are always 100% safe.
   

Valve openers

Need to open the container dump valve from the cabin? That’s possible when you opt for our valve openers.

This is what you can expect from us

Flexibility

The kind of system you need depends on a number of factors such as what you process or transport, the weight to be handled and the chassis on which the system must be mounted. This is why we do not produce standard systems; instead, you configure your own system with our specialists. That way, you always work with an installation that is perfectly suited to your situation.

Quality

Quality is paramount in everything we do, from our products to our communication and service. This is reflected in our ISO certifications and reliable systems. Our products are known for being robust and reliable. By carefully selecting and training the dealers of our systems, we keep your systems at peak performance. That means you can continue working efficiently.

Innovation

The world is changing, and we are continuously adapting accordingly. For instance, we are constantly making our systems smarter. That includes innovations like automatic notifications when your system requires maintenance and reading out data to solve problems quickly and prevent downtime. We are also committed to an eco-friendly transport sector through our focus on energy efficiency, renewable fuels and electrification. That means that by choosing our environmentally friendly systems, you are not only saving costs but also contributing to an improved ecological footprint.

Safety

You need to be sure you can safely handle thousands of tonnes. Not just today, but on into the future as well. By putting safety at the forefront of our designs, we prevent deployment failures. Here, too, we make use of important information from the field. Among other things, we work with the customer to regularly monitor real-world use of the systems. And our team of engineers get to work on an even better design.

Accessibility

Our production site is in Hapert, south of Eindhoven, near the Belgian border. While this is a very central location, we also have a successful, well-established network of dealers and agents around the world. So there is always a dealer near you. And this ensures that your systems will be fully operational in no time.

Speed

Delays in your processes cost money. Therefore, your container handling system needs to work quickly and efficiently. And equally important, to keep working. We understand this, so you can expect exceptionally fast delivery of our products and parts. And when your systems need maintenance? Our dealers, agents and service technicians keep them running.
