Safer, flexible & more efficient container transport

CLU - Container Loading Unit

Our patented solution, JOAB CLU - Container Loading Unit, offers outstanding safety, flexibility and efficiency when transporting 20-foot containers. With impressive load capacity and the ability to load and unload independently in conjunction with the hooklift, JOAB CLU is the solution to meet current and future challenges in civil and military container transport.

Our goal is to offer a reliable solution that not only optimises operations, but also increases safety and reduces operating costs. With our focus on innovation and quality, we have developed a solution that meets the industry's requirements and expectations.

BENEFITS

  • Efficient loading and unloading:
    With the combination of a JOAB CLU and hooklift trailer, up to three containers can be transported, reducing the need for additional labour and increasing loading efficiency.
  • Optional bed standard:
    JOAB CLU can be ordered according to all existing bed standards (e.g. SS3021, SS3659, DIN30722, SFS4417, STANAG, Wirehejs) which means easy integration into existing operations.
  • Improved safety:
    With a lifting height of only approximately 30cm, the risk of damage to both cargo and vehicle is reduced, which creates a safer working environment.
  • Stable when manoeuvring:
    The ability to individually operate the lifting arms makes JOAB CLU less sensitive to uneven terrain, ensuring stable and reliable performance even in difficult conditions.
  • Flexible handling of different heights of containers:
    By using only the lower container locks, JOAB CLU can handle containers of different heights, increasing its flexibility and usability.
  • Easy loading and unloading:
    The container can also be easily handled with both a crane or forklift, which saves time and increases productivity compared to other solutions on the market.
  • High load capacity:
    With a maximum load capacity of 18 tons, JOAB CLU is ready to handle even the heaviest loads with ease and efficiency.
  • Easy connection:
    JOAB CLU only requires hydraulic outlets at the rear of the chassis with 200Bar hydraulic pressure and 24V power outlet for installation, which most vehicles already have.
  • Increased precision:
    Operation via wired remote control gives the operator maximum control over the movement of the lifting arms for safer and more efficient working conditions.
  • Evenly distributed load:
    By lifting the container at the lifting points, the risk of damage to the container during handling is avoided.
  • Optimised height:
    Depending on the choice of chassis and the construction height of the hooklift, in most cases this innovative solution gives a total height of less than 4m. Contact JOAB sales for a proposal drawing for your particular chassis.
