Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What sizes of shipping containers can the TPK-A lift?
The TPK-A series is incredibly versatile, with specific models designed to handle standard 20-foot containers, 40-foot containers, and High Cube (HC) variants. We also offer dual-purpose models (e.g., 16-20/40 CS) capable of handling both 20' and 40' containers.

What is the difference between the RS and CS models?
The "RS" models are supplied with heavy-duty Wire Rope Slings, while the "CS" models are equipped with highly durable Chain Slings. You can choose the configuration that best matches your site's operational preferences.

Should I choose the KE or CHWP container hooks?
The KE hook is our reliable standard configuration suitable for most operations. However, if you are lifting in highly dynamic environments or require maximum security, we recommend upgrading to the CHWP hook, which features an advanced protection system against accidental disengagement.

Is the TPK-A lifting beam fully certified for the UK market?
Absolutely. The TPK-A is UKCA marked, manufactured in the EU, and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 13155, ensuring complete legal and operational compliance.
