Container King in Edmonton can pick up containers off of ground etc but i don't know anyone that can tilt them and unload bulk commodity . May have to go with a towing company that can winch them on they tilt the deck.

Tks! Unfortunately, they used to have a ctr tipping truck but they have since sold it as it was old and planning to buy a new one - which they haven't yet.

Well get container delivered and then use crane to dump out what ever you have in it.......Good luck

Maybe try calling B/R ECKELS or Inter-rail , they might be able to help u out

Ya! Whats in the container that you have to spill it out? Is this a new method of unloading seacans? Lol! I've seen a couple loads of pipe and a load of dogfood once unloaded off a semi that way...

 

[teamgreen]

Couldnt you just have it dropped on a flat deck tow truck? How long of a container? And again, whats in it?

I've seen photos of trucks hauling woodchips to a mill unloaded in a similar way to this - drive on a big platform that lifted the whole truck up on a slant and dumped the chips.

Wouldn't it be easiest to ship with trucks that have a hydraulic cylinder to dump the box - can unload anywhere?

Might be able to make it work with an oil field bed truck or winch truck too. Just pull the container part-way on and drive forward... Should be lots of these trucks around Nisku and leduc with spring breakup right now.

tks guys for the info. FYI, these are '20 ft seacans with 2 ctrs loaded with feed corn and 1 ctr loaded with soymeal for the feed industry. We are importing this from India due to shortages here in N.America. We will end up off loading sea cans on the ground then use a vacuum to take goods out.

You'd be surprised. Company I worked for last winter hauling frac sand loaded from an import yard near red deer. These were bags that had to be cut open hanging from a fork lift. A couple times snakes were found when emptying the bags. Needless to say the drivers never went back. This was a special frac sand from China. The snakes find their way into the bags and burrow to the center for heat. They were a small venomous snake to. Never did hear what it was called.

I can just imagine! I have been exporting for 23 years now and have some stories myself. We were exporting organic grapes from Mexico to UK about 10 years ago. Grapes are hand picked and put into retail bags after a quick wash. We got in trouble for sending a venomous spider with the grapes. That f%^$ing spider costed me US$22,000.00!!! BUT, it could have been worse if it bit someone.
Another time we were exporting dry cat food from a plant here in Armstrong to Japan. They closed the doors and 28 days later the Japanese opened the sea can to find a Armstrong cat inside. He must have been a bit thirsty but he had plenty of food and that cat costed me $10,000 bucks in claims! Apparently they kept the cat.

Depending on how heavy the cans are, you could use a winch truck and scissor neck - bring it up onto the trailer just past the tipping point, open the door and shake it back so it tips again, this would probably work for you. Or maybe find somebody with a texas bed, or a small bed truck, again bringing it up before you open the doors. my .02 worth.

Tks for the suggestion! The net weight is 20 mt plus weight of can.
