Скачать или смотреть One of Our Toughest Crane Jobs Yet | 40ft Reefer Container Lift with Argosy + 43TM Effer

This job stands out as one of our most challenging crane lifts with the Argosy — and one we’re extremely proud of. Even though this short video only shows part of the process, it captures the precision, planning, and capability behind the Red Tow crane team.

We were tasked with lifting and positioning an empty 40ft Reefer container, weighing approximately 4.5 tonnes — making it one of the heaviest “empty” containers we handle. These insulated refrigerated boxes are significantly heavier than standard units, and their size demands a long reach and perfect stability.

Normally, a 40-tonne slewing crane would be used for a lift like this. But with our Freightliner Argosy 8x4 Crane Truck fitted with the 43-tonne-metre EFFER crane, we achieved it safely and efficiently. Every factor — ground pressure, stabiliser placement, boom angle, and radius — had to be spot-on. The result was a clean, controlled lift and precise positioning, all done with our in-house crane truck.

Jobs like this show the strength and versatility of Red Tow’s fleet and the expertise of our operators in handling oversized, heavy, or technically demanding container work.
