Sidelifter container loading applications

Highly flexible and efficient, STEELBRO Sidelifters are ideal for all road transfer applications. Entirely self-contained, Sidelifters can not only load and unload their own containers with speed and precision, they can also act as loaders for companion trailers.

The intermodal capability of the Sidelifter makes it an incredibly useful tool for operators involved in the growing field of rail transportation. With its inbuilt versatility, a STEELBRO Sidelifter offers the most cost-effective solution across multiple rail applications.

At work in over 100 countries worldwide, STEELBRO Sidelifters are an indispensable asset to modern military organisations. Sidelifters give military planners the ability to quickly and efficiently uplift, transport and then deposit any containerised material.

From the Australian outback to African territories, STEELBRO Sidelifters ensure mining operators are equipped with robust container transport tools that are up for the job. Sidelifter trailer loaders are utilised by mining operations during set up phase to deliver heavy equipment and portable buildings, as well as in an ongoing capacity for goods transportation around or to and from the site.

Forestry operators around the world turn to STEELBRO Sidelifters for robust and reliable haulage solutions. Sidelifters are particularly sought after in forestry for their ability to lift logging platforms and cages. By eliminating the need to leave a loaded truck and trailer at the depot, Sidelifters lift productivity and reduce personnel downtime.

With their inherently safe design, precision handling and proven performance, STEELBRO Sidelifters offer an optimal solution for those needing to transport chemicals, fuel tanks and other dangerous goods. Sidelifters can be “Dangerous Goods Certified” to meet the protocols of transport authorities around the world.

In traditional barge transport, complete truck and trailer units are shifted via barge. This means the load carrying capacity of the barge is greatly reduced, as each truck and trailer takes up valuable space and weight. Sidelifters give barge operators a significantly more efficient transport solution. Because the STEELBRO Sidelifter can unload its containers directly onto the barge, the load capacity of the barge is doubled, raising productivity and enabling more profitable outcomes.

STEELBRO Sidelifters are famed for their versatility. Able to transport much more than just containers, Sidelifters are used across a broad range of industries and environments to transfer a wide variety of load types. Examples of diverse applications include the transportation of fuel tanks, portable buildings, mobile workshops, modified containers and more.

When disaster strikes, Sidelifters are on the ground to help. Ideal for quickly moving specialist containerised units, STEELBRO Sidelifters can go wherever they’re needed most. Thanks to their self-contained loading technology, Sidelifter trailer loaders can be deployed to remote areas or used in instances where infrastructure has been damaged. From natural disasters to accidents to planned relief programmes, Sidelifters play an essential role in emergency transport around the globe.
