A side loader is a specially equipped truck or semi-trailer that is mainly used for the transportation and handling of ISO containers. Here are some important features and areas of application:
Function: Side loaders are equipped with hydraulic arms that can pick up and unload containers from the side. This enables containers to be loaded and unloaded without additional infrastructure such as loading ramps.
Areas of application: They are often used in logistics and transportation, especially in areas where there are no fixed loading and unloading facilities.
Advantages: Side loaders offer flexibility and efficiency as they can pick up and set down containers directly from the ground. This saves time and reduces the need for additional lifting equipment.
