Export Liftvans

Trafalgar manufactures robust export liftvans designed specifically for the professional removals and relocation industry. Liftvans provide a secure, practical and space-efficient way to consolidate personal effects and household goods for overseas shipping, while also offering short-term storage before and after transit.

Export Liftvans

Designed to maximise the use of space within ISO shipping containers, export liftvans are a proven solution for international removals where protection, efficiency and reliability are essential.

Sometimes referred to as liftvan cases, these containers are built for repeated handling and global transport, making them a dependable choice for professional operators shipping goods worldwide

What Are Export Liftvans Used For?

Export liftvans are primarily used by international removals companies to:

  • Consolidate personal effects for overseas shipment
  • Protect goods during long-distance sea freight
  • Improve space utilisation within shipping containers
  • Provide secure short-term storage before departure or on arrival

Their enclosed, rigid construction helps safeguard contents during loading, stacking and transit, while their standardised size makes planning and container loading more efficient.

Our export liftvans are manufactured to established industry-standard dimensions, making them easy to integrate into international shipping operations.

Standard Export Liftvan Specifications

Typical specifications include:

  • External dimensions: 2220 x 1160 x 2220mm
  • Approximate capacity: 5.25 cubic metres
  • Stacking capability: Up to 3 high for short-term storage
  • Base: Integral 4-way entry pallet base for forklift handling

These standard dimensions allow removals companies to plan loads accurately and make the most of available space inside ISO shipping containers.

Designed for International Shipping Efficiency

A key advantage of export liftvans is how efficiently they allow goods to be loaded and stabilised within shipping containers. Their proportions are designed to stack and align efficiently, reducing wasted space and improving load stability during sea freight.

This makes them particularly well suited to:

  • Full container loads
  • Groupage shipments
  • International relocation projects

By optimising how goods are packed within a container, liftvans help removals companies work more efficiently while maintaining a high standard of protection.

Export liftvans are built for demanding international use, with construction features focused on durability and ease of handling.

Secure, Practical Construction

Key characteristics include:

  • Strong timber construction for repeated use
  • Secure enclosed design to protect contents
  • Suitable for forklift handling and warehouse movement
  • Built using treated timber suitable for export

Where required, liftvans can be supplied using export-compliant, treated timber, providing reassurance when shipping goods overseas.

Standard Designs with Bespoke Options Available

While export liftvans are commonly supplied in standard sizes, Trafalgar can also manufacture bespoke liftvans to suit specific requirements. This may include:

  • Alternative dimensions
  • Adjustments for unusual shipment profiles
  • Adaptations to suit particular handling or storage needs

If your operation requires something outside the standard format, our team can advise on a tailored solution.
