Who better to demonstrate Bison’s manual container lifts than the people who invented them?

Brothers Greg and Mark Fahey have developed container lifting solutions together for years, combining hands-on experience with engineering expertise to solve real container handling challenges.

In our upcoming live webinar, Greg and Mark will walk you through Bison’s manual lifting systems, demonstrate how they work, and share practical knowledge gained from seeing these systems used in operations around the world.

We’ll cover the M Series and Mantis, take you through the lifting process from setup to pack-down, and give you the opportunity to ask questions directly to the Bison team throughout the session.

Containerized defense systems are changing the way critical capabilities are deployed — but containerizing a system is only part of the challenge.

Once in the field, how will it be lifted, positioned and redeployed when cranes or heavy container handling equipment aren't available?

From command and control systems to energy, communications and other mission-critical assets, deployability needs to be considered from the beginning.

Our latest blog explores the container handling challenges that come with containerized defense systems, and how the right approach can help:

→ Reduce reliance on cranes and heavy equipment
→ Improve deployment flexibility
→ Support operations in remote and austere environments
→ Ensure containerized systems remain practical to move and redeploy in the field

Last night we welcomed members of Engineering New Zealand Te Ao Rangahau Dunedin to Bison for a behind-the-scenes look at what we do 👋

The group toured our Dunedin headquarters, getting a closer look at our engineering and manufacturing facilities, our container handling technology, and how our products go from an idea through to a solution used by customers around the world.

It was a great opportunity to share a bit more about the Bison story, talk engineering, and connect with others in Dunedin’s engineering community.

Thanks to everyone who came along, and to Engineering New Zealand for organising the visit!

Automated or manual — which approach is right for your operation?

We recently put our automated systems, the A Series and X Series to work in a live webinar. Next up: manual container lifting.

Join our next webinar as we demonstrate the Bison M Series and Mantis and explore where manual lifting can offer a simple, portable approach to container handling.

We’ll cover:

✓ How the M Series and Mantis work
✓ The key differences between the two systems
✓ When manual lifting makes sense compared with automated systems
✓ Which solution is best suited to different applications

Plus, get your questions answered live by the Bison team.

What changes when you take charge of your own container handling?

For SmartHarvest, investing in the Bison M Series meant more than removing the need to coordinate third-party lifting services.

Their team can now lift and position containers when required, work more safely, and fit two containers into their fabrication space at once, significantly increasing their production potential.

More flexibility. Less time coordinating external services. Greater control over when and where containers are handled.

With you every step of the way 🚛

The Bison T Series isn’t just a container lifting system; it’s a reliable companion for your containers and containerized assets. Unlike traditional lifting solutions that must be attached and detached at every stage, the T Series stays with the asset throughout its journey.

Its smart design allows the legs to stow safely at the front and rear during transport, keeping the container within standard vehicle width limits. No extra hassle, no special permits just smoother transport and fewer delays.

Efficiency has never been this mobile! Learn more about the T Series and its unique benefits here: https://buff.ly/1boz5aZ

Day 2 at GELS is complete 👏

A highlight of today was Bison CEO Greg, taking part in a panel discussion on how engineers are extending operational reach through data and AI. From energy reduction and fuel distribution to rapid runway repair and the construction of expeditionary advanced bases, the discussion explored the innovations increasing endurance, resilience, and operational capability.

We're looking forward to the final day at GELS, before Greg and Mark continue their US tour.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a common part of utility, renewable energy, and industrial projects, but when it comes time to install or relocate them, many organizations still assume a crane is the only option.

In this short video, we explain how portable container lifts work and why they're becoming an increasingly practical alternative for handling containerized BESS units.

If you'd like a deeper dive, we've also published a blog covering:

- Why cranes are the traditional approach
- The limitations of crane lifting for BESS projects
- How portable container lifting jacks work
- Where they're commonly used
