What is ConFoot CFU 30?
ConFoot CFU 30 represents the pinnacle of container foot technology, offering unprecedented flexibility in container positioning and handling. This advanced system allows you to adjust container height anywhere from ground level to 1.5 meters (0-1,500 mm), providing a versatile solution for diverse operational requirements. The CFU 30 builds upon proven container handling technology while introducing enhanced features that meet the demands of modern logistics and industrial operations.
Advanced Height Adjustment Technology
The defining feature of the CFU 30 is its exceptional height adjustment capability. Unlike fixed-height solutions or basic lifting devices, the CFU 30 allows infinite positioning within its 1,500 mm range. This flexibility enables:
- Perfect alignment with loading docks of varying heights
- Compensation for uneven ground conditions
- Creation of multi-level container configurations
- Optimal positioning for specific workflow requirements
The adjustment mechanism is designed for smooth operation while maintaining absolute stability under full load conditions. Each unit can support its rated capacity at any height within the adjustment range.
Enhanced Design Features
The CFU 30 incorporates several design improvements:
- Patented Locking System: Secure attachment to container corner castings with fail-safe locking
- Modular Construction: Individual components under 25 kg for manageable handling
- High-Grade Materials: Durable steel construction with protective finish
- Precision Engineering: Tight tolerances ensure smooth operation and long service life
Applications of ConFoot CFU 30
Variable-Height Loading Operations
The CFU 30 excels in facilities with multiple dock heights or where containers need to interface with different equipment levels. The full adjustment range eliminates compatibility issues and streamlines operations.
Temporary Infrastructure
For construction sites, events, or emergency response, the CFU 30 enables rapid deployment of container-based facilities at optimal heights for access and utility connections.
Uneven Terrain Compensation
In field operations where level ground isn’t available, the CFU 30’s adjustment capability allows containers to be positioned level despite ground irregularities.
Multi-Modal Transport Integration
The CFU 30 facilitates seamless transfer between different transport modes by adjusting container height to match various vehicle and equipment specifications.
Industrial Process Integration
Manufacturing and processing facilities use CFU 30 units to position containers at heights that integrate with conveyor systems, production lines, or material handling equipment.
