Sidelifter loading applications

Maximise container movements per day Containers can be safely transferred to the ground in just minutes, increasing efficiencies and productivity.
Minimal equipment and operators required The trailer driver can unload the container in minutes on his own, moving 20ft and 40ft containers using the same piece of equipment. There is no need for additional equipment or personnel, so saving on additional costs.
Proven Dependability The STEELBRO sidelifter is tough, reliable and requires limited maintenance. It also handles container movements on any terrain including low cost dry terminal.
Safely handles hazardous, fragile and valuable cargo Differentiated cargo can be loaded and unloaded without disruption to the client’s business. The side loader action allows containers to be safely placed exactly where the client requires it, for ease of access to load and unload as required.
Containers can be transported anywhere, anytime by road This ‘self contained’ side loader trailer is able to operate without the support of other equipment at load and unload points, enabling containers to be transported easily by road.
Double Stack Containers Sidelifter trailers handle containers in areas where space is limited. The container side loader quickly and safely stacks 20ft and 40ft fully loaded, hazardous and fragile containers on top of each other.
The container (and not the trailer) is left with the customer Without a Sidelifter, a trailer is often left with the customer – an unproductive use of equipment. The Sidelifter can be productive all day, loading, transporting and unloading containers then moving onto the next job. There is just one piece of equipment to manage and maintain, reducing your operating costs.
Containers can be transferred by ‘trailer to trailer’
or ‘trailer to train’ for intermodal versatility
Back up support can be provided during accident rescue
Specialised cargo handling Sidelifter trailers can transport more than just containers. They can handle up to 45 tonnes of cargo, industrial equipment, special vehicles and specialised containers e.g fuel, portable buildings etc.
