Military
STEELBRO Sidelifters also deliver a range of options that make them ideal for military applications.
The ability to self-load and unload a container eliminates the need for forklifts and other heavy equipment to be available at both ends of the container’s route.
STEELBRO Sidelifters are used for loading munitions and moving items of artillery during peacetime exercises. In times of conflict, its versatility really comes to the fore. Working at railheads, weapons dumps, or military hospitals, Sidelifters enable supplies and support material to be moved quickly and safely in modules varying sizes from 20’ to 48’ in length and capacity up to 40 tonnes.
In fluid battlefield conditions, Sidelifters have been proven as a quick and flexible solution for deploying equipment, munitions and supplies into strategic areas.
Some military usages include containers that have been rigged to carry motorcycles, small assault vehicles and quads, consolidating unwieldy equipment and the manpower needed to transfer them into a single easily stored and conveyed container. The STEELBRO Sidelifter arms can be folded down, or to the side, to lower the overall height for air transport in aircraft - C130 Hercules capacity and above.
STEELBRO manufacture a range of Sidelifters that will meet the logistics requirements of any modern military organisation. STEELBRO Sidelifter technology provides a dynamic and flexible delivery solution for military planners and operational commanders, and can operate in the most extreme situations and environments.
Emergency Response
For peacetime deployments and emergencies, STEELBRO Sidelifters are ideal for quickly moving specialist containerised units where they are needed most. Fire fighting services benefit from containers that are prepacked with equipment needed for certain situations. Humanitarian relief projects have also benefited greatly from Sidelifter technology. Similarly, STEELBRO Sidelifters can be of great assistance in disaster relief situations where infrastructure has been compromised.
