Boat Port Cargo Handling
Boat Port Cargo
Ports can be dangerous environments to work in – encountering hazards such as overhead loads, heavy machinery, enclosed spaces, open water, dangerous goods and more. Vessels arrive and depart all the time, meaning equipment and machines are constantly operating. Here at JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd, we specialise in port cargo – making sure your goods are always transported efficiently and safely.
Supporting the port and logistics sector for more than 45 years, we have grown our port cargo offering over this time and pride ourselves on a can-do attitude for port cargo handling. Our services ensure efficiency – effectively maximising cargo, speeding up turnaround times and minimising overall handling costs.
We can handle all cargoes – be it small items that need consolidating into loads or larger, abnormal items that require a unique approach. We have strong relationships with ports around the continent and work closely with various shipping lines to guarantee smooth, punctual turnarounds.
Boat port cargo handling equipment generally includes yard tractors, container handlers and forklifts, and here at JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd, we provide an innovative loading and unloading solution for all customers – no matter the shape or size of the consignment.

There is a vast range of cargo handling equipment used to secure containers to ships and on top of other shipping containers – including off-road, self-propelled vehicles such as:
- Forklifts
- Gantry cranes
- Mobile cranes
- Loaders
- Side handlers
- Top handlers
Though these are typically used for boat port cargo handling, various other types of equipment can be employed. Take tractors, trailers, and semi-trailers, for instance. These can move cargo within the port, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.

As part of our boat port cargo handling service, we can process and store your goods in a secure facility and, when required, deliver them to your local customers.
We use only the most suitable handling equipment to reduce the need for manual handling, and all our staff are trained on how to use lifting equipment correctly and safely.
Drawing on our vast experience in logistics, we’ll make sure that your cargo is transported efficiently – avoiding periods of congestion in ports wherever possible. This, in return, helps to keep your boat cargo handling costs to a minimum.
