Company Profile
STEELBRO Sidelifters are the world's best-selling self-loading container trailers.
Since 1979, when STEELBRO first committed its resources to developing the concept of container transportation and placement, STEELBRO Sidelifters have become synonymous with efficient container handling.
The STEELBRO Sidelifter is an award winning container management solution singled out for its excellence in design, production and outstanding intermodal capacity. STEELBRO is widely recognised as having set the benchmark for design and technical innovation in the emerging field of intermodal transport.
At STEELBRO we have an uncompromising approach to quality production, investment in development and the flexibility to adapt quickly to changes in the global market.
Right from the company’s outset in 1878, STEELBRO’s objective has been to produce innovative and high quality engineering solutions for the transport industry – this is still the same today. Our goal is to maintain this philosophy and retain all the hallmarks that have led to over 129 years of success.
Our Christchurch research and design centre rivals the best anywhere in the world. Our Engineering and Design departments are staffed by world-class designers and engineers equipped with the latest technology.
STEELBRO works with key distributors around the world to make sure our Sales and Support service is second to none. Our Global Service and Support Network is renowned throughout the industry.
To deliver a globally accepted quality product and ensure ongoing support and customer satisfaction, global supplier partnerships have been developed with internationally recognised manufacturers. This ensures worldwide availability and support.
We look closely at the trends in global transport systems. The STEELBRO Sidelifter you see today is the result of a long process of consultation and development between our design team, customers, suppliers and specialist consultants.
Sidelifter technology is revolutionising the way transport companies manage their workloads. The Sidelifter’s ability to shift containers between a number of transport systems for example truck to train, truck to truck or truck to ground means operators can save time and increase the efficiency of their businesses. To most organisations this means cost savings and an increase in bottom-line profits.
