20ft Container Fitted with Lifting Beam for Offshore Use

Breakdown of the Project

One of our regular clients in the North East contacted us with regards to having a 1Tn lifting beam fitted within a 20ft new ‘one trip’ shipping container for use on a rig.

We fabricated the lifting frame from steel I-Beam and fitted the framework like goal posts with a longitude I-Beam that extends out of the 20ft shipping container. The beam trolley & chains lifts equipment (weighing up to 1 tonne) and then the longitude I-Beam is manually pushed back into the container where the equipment can be stored/ worked on out of the elements. The 20ft shipping container was then painted internally in light grey and externally in client’s corporate colours.

  • Using steel I-beam an internal fixed frame was installed at 2 points.
  • The frame was fixed up the side walls and along the roof of the container.
  • An additional I-beam was installed horizontally along under the roof.
  • Fitted to be manually moved in and out manually when required.
  • On the beam we supplied and installed a 1Tn lifting trolley with chains that is manually moved along the longitude.
