I live near to a depot that supplies these container fridges & I’ve been seeing these trailers with a HIAB at each end for over 20 years.
What’s different about these ones?
I think it 's that they are designed for the job, and that job only, so are presumably lighter and cheaper than a conventional lorry crane (or two). They don’t slew, for instance, but because of their design probably have a massive tonne/metre capacity - judging by the outrigger. In NZ they use them to load/unload stuffed shipping containers of god knows what weight.
Never heard of a company called containerlift?

All I can say is I’ve seen them in a hire container fridge depot for at least the past 20yrs.
I can’t imagine why you’d want one to slew & I can’t imagine a hire fridge being delivered full & therefore heavy.
What, exactly, is new about these?
