Field service vehicles support sidelifter clients

More and more companies are realising the benefits of using the Steelbro Sidelifter and Isoloader due to the massive cost savings. According to Versatile Container Handling, the sole distributor of Steelbro Sidelifters and Isoloader rubber tyred Straddle Carriers, the machines were first introduced to the South African market in 1997. Versatile Container Handling sales manager, Harry Finlayson, says service is of utmost importance to the company. “By bringing the service to our customers and offering a 24-hour technical backup, we can assist in reducing any costly downtime should the machines ever require attention.” The machines are guaranteed to ensure massive cost savings to any company or transporter, says Finlayson. “With the ability to place containers on the ground, do trailer to trailer transfers, load containers onto railwagons, as well as do double stacking of containers, it makes business sense to own one of these machines. These sidelifters make light work of both 20 foot and 40 foot containers weighing up to 40 tons.” Distributed in more than 60 countries around the world, the sidelifters and isoloaders form an integral part of Versatile Container Handling’s service portfolio. “We have invested in field service vehicles that will support all sidelifter and isoloader clients in and around KwaZulu- Natal. The vehicles are driven by qualified sidelifter technicians and are fully equipped to deal with any sidelifter breakdowns that may happen in the field. Fitted with a range of spare parts for servicing and repairs, the aim is to ensure as little downtime as possible to the client,” said Finlayson.
