Rail Transfer
STEELBRO Sidelifters can load and unload containers directly from rail wagons.
With a growing trend towards rail transportation, this intermodal capability is creating huge demand for Sidelifters as a useful and economical alternative to less versatile lifting equipment.
The STEELBRO Sidelifter is ideal for rail transfers because it doesn’t require a lot of expensive infrastructure, just enough space to load or unload from rail wagons. Goods or produce can be loaded directly into containers on the ground at the point of production and transported quickly to the railway siding. No need for double handling.
In larger depots, where containers are already unloaded for pick-up, the Sidelifter’s independent loading ability means that containers can be cleared fast.
The Sidelifter can even be used as the primary intermodal tool, unloading containers from the rail wagons and then onto other trailers. A STEELBRO Sidelifter provides a simple and versatile solution, no matter the size of the rail operation.
