About

Sort+Store, now known as the SHT Overheight Frame, is a specialised lifting frame designed for handling oversized cargo, particularly at container terminals. This equipment, also referred to as an overheight spreader, is built to lift out-of-gauge (OOG) items like flat-rack and open-top containers, which often exceed standard container height limits. The frame is available in fixed and telescopic configurations, providing flexibility to handle a variety of cargo sizes without the need for additional machinery. This adaptability has made the Sort+Store frame a valuable asset in speeding up port operations and improving safety standards for stevedores working in close proximity to oversized cargo.

​

Overheight frames, such as Sort+Store's SHT model, are part of a broader trend in port equipment design that focuses on automation and operational efficiency. Many modern overheight frames are fully automated, requiring minimal manual handling, which further enhances productivity and reduces downtime during cargo transitions. Manufacturers like Sort+Store lead in developing these advanced solutions, meeting the growing demand in global logistics for safer, faster, and more flexible equipment. With applications across different port types, overheight frames have become integral in cargo management, contributing to efficient container movement and optimising terminal resources
