More and more people are realising the advantages of the STEELBRO Sidelifter's capabilities.
With STEELBRO Sidelifters, operators can easily transfer containers onto companion trailers. This means as well as hauling its own containers, a STEELBRO Sidelifter can load and unload whole convoys of containers without the need to relocate independent heavy lifting equipment.
Operators have the ability to transfer fully loaded containers, without the need to wait for other lifting type machinery to arrive or become available. This eliminates the cost associated with leaving trailers on site and increases the opportunities for the number of pick-ups and drop-offs in each cycle. It can also free up staff and equipment for other tasks, thus increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Another great advantage to transport operators is the capacity to deliver loaded containers to the importer/customer on the ground for them to unpack in their own time, leaving the transport operator free to attend to the next job.
In some developing countries, trucks often operate in convoy due to traffic congestion, which means that Sidelifters have become very useful loading tools – wherever this function may be required.
Trucking fleet operators and logistics companies world-wide are now realising the practical and economic advantages of this capability and are adding Sidelifters to their fleets.
