Portable hydraulic lift for unloading shipping containers on trailers?
(OP)
I work at a plant and we are needed to unload a powder product that is loaded in shipping containers like you see on cargo ships. They are brought to us on trailers. We already have a hydraulic dump station that we gravity feed the powder out, but we have more product than we can unload through one station. Can anyone provide any companies or websites with some sort of lift that would tilt the container and trailer upright (approx. 45 deg angle) that could be used for this type of unloading. I am having difficulty finding any site or company that offers a rental on this type of equipment.

How is the powder loaded?
What do you mean by a "hydraulic dump station"
Some pictures would be nice to see, but it would seem some sort of pneumatic unloading system would need to be used.

Looks like they use a combination of lifting the containers using a special trailer and a pump.

But finding the equipment for rent may be a challenge.
