Thanks, it means a lot.

BTW, to make it a bit more interesting, can you ask your AP to make a video on how he would calculate the chain length on a 10f or 20f container using the bottom lift.
The containers are empty.

[@CCcranelife]

The best thing to do would be to check your lift plan. All the specs should be in there. If it's unclear, your AP should be able to assist you.

[@truckeralvarez5932]

@@CCcranelife Sorry, I am an AP too, I have not seen a single video except for one person that gives an exact calculation for chaining a bottom lifting container under a height restriction.
I am working on a formula at the moment.
ALLMI has not got a bottom lifting app calculator either.

​@@truckeralvarez5932 I'll see what I can do for you.

Basically, there are lifting beams designed specifically for cargo containers. You can shorten the chains for low head room. I have a picture.

This comment in your website is a bit unprofessional in my honest opinion.
"These containers have four lifting points. One on each corner. If a slinger/signaller is tall, they might be lucky enough to be able to reach up and attach the chains to the lifting points."
I have 2 issues here, it is far better to use bottom lifting lugs, rather than climbing to the top and hooking each top corner. In most professional locations like HS2, (I provide service there) it would require a working at height permit, but 98% times the AP would make the decision to pick it up from the bottom.

[@CCcranelife]

Thanks for the input. Can you tell me which part of the website this came from so I can check it out. It seems to me this point was made on the website with slight humour. Not many of us are tall any for this, but I know one person who could do it.
You're right though, they're pretty hot on things over at HS2, especially since having a couple of incidents.
Regulations change and vary all the time from site to site. I've only ever known people to lift containers from the top. That's why they have the lifting points there. Plus, it's not difficult to get a working from height permit.

[@gogo2208]

You prefer lifting from the bottom because it is easier. But what pressure are the chains putting on the top edge of your container? Can you guarantee the integrity of those edges?
