faq: installing & loading the böks sled on a sea container using one roll off truck and one operator.
1. To start, you load the sled on the roll off truck like you would a normal roll off bin, because the sled can be used frontwards or backwards there are no locks on it unless you specify locks for a roll off truck that will accept locks.
3. Make sure you bring two short decking chains and one chain about 14ft or so, with two regular hooks on it, and the two short chains of about 4 or 5ft with one single grab hook on it, both three eights and two six by six, 8- to 12-inch-long blocks.
When you get to your sea container, you back up to the front side of sea container.
2. The universal model which uses chain pockets so you chain the back of the sled down like you would any other roll off bin, or as you would for a roll off bin with damaged locks, and you drive off to where the container is.
4. You tilt the roll off deck up as if you were going to back up to a garbage bin and you put the two short chains on the corner. Each corner right and left of the sled and through the hole in the bottom of the container corners.
You then tilt your roll off deck down lifting the front side of the sea container and you put the two six by six blocks approximately 8 inches to 1 foot back on the main frame beam beneath the sea container on the left and right side. Then you lower and set the container back on the blocks.
6. You attach your winch hook to the chain attached to the two front corners of the container. And then you pull it with your winch up on top of the sled, while holding the sled down with the back of the two roll off rails.
When it comes all the way on, you put the two nut and bolts in the back with the plates and the two nut and bolts in the front of the sled locking the sea container corners.
5. You remove the two small decking chains on the corners as the container is now set on the blocks, and you get back in the roll off truck to back the sled in under the container until rear of the sled sits underneath the frontside of the blocked up sea container. You then drop the sled on the ground infront of the sea container. You then tilt your roll of truck rails up and set them on top of the front of the sled.
Unhook your winch line or your dragline for pulling the bins on. You let your winch line all the way out so you can pull the container back over top of the sled. You hook your chain that you brought long enough to the corners of the container.
7. After you've unhooked the chains, you hook your cable back up to the front of the sled winch eye and you load the sled the same way you would any standard roll off flat deck or garbage bin. You then chain the back of the sled down to the roll off truck using the chain pockets and you're good to go.
When sleds are equipped to every container, this operation does not take any longer to load and unload on a job site than a regular garbage bin. Somewhere between 3 and 8 minutes.
It shouldn't take more than about 30 minutes to load the container onto the sled and put the bolts in. 45 minutes if you use a wrench, a half hour if you're using a fully charged heavy duty cordless impact gun which I highly recommend.
Our observation is the jobs are becoming smaller in footprint and the cities are becoming tighter, congested and built up; operational workspace is at a premium. This sled and container combination gives you maximum use of your space and maximum use of the time on site, where you may be plugging up the only passage in and out of a site while you're in there loading, ideally you want to conduct this operation as quickly as possible to keep production going and operational costs low.
I have yet to see quick container handling go as well as what we have created with the boks sled solution for all container-based applications. We’ve seen so many container load mishandling disaster examples hence the boks sled in its invention.
You're on your way to move all the containers, all your tools, your office and break & lunchrooms and your material container fleet as fast as you can drop a garbage bin and pick one up on a job site. Mobilization and demobilization of every job site done efficiently (where no extra equipment is needed other than a roll off truck), safely and quickly.
faq: removing & unloading the böks sled from a sea container using one roll off truck and one operator.
1. To remove the sea container from the sled simply remove the four nuts and bolts which holds the sea container to the sled.
3. Lower the roll off truck rails and drive away to your next sea container.
2. Extend and lft the roll off truck rails allowing the sea container to slide off the sled coming to rest on the ground.
