John, I can envision a system lifting from the ends to move a single 40 foot container or a single 20 foot container. However, I often see two separate 20 foot containers on a single forty foot trailer. Will this system somehow adjust so that the center part of the two 20 foot containers can be supported? Can the two 20 foot containers be lifted on and off independently from a forty foot trailer with this self-loading system?
