In Australia, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service were using Self Loading Trailers (SLT’s) for their container handling.
This wasn’t ideal as space is often restricted, and it was expensive, as every time the container had to be moved, an SLT had to be ordered and paid for.
It also limited the number of containers that could be placed inside the building, as an SLT needs a lot of space to place a container on the ground.
A Mobicon was purchased, resulting in Customs doubling their container turnover, and at the same time halving their container handling costs. Now, Customs in Australia uses a Mobicon in five of their container X-ray facilities.
Here’s a short video showing the operating circle of a Mobicon:
