The operator should be familiar with the machine/sideloader trailer 

1) Only trained personnel can operate the machine. The operator must abide by the operating rules and keep irrelevant personnel away from the forbidden area. Please remember to stand on the same side as the lifted goods to ensure the best loading visibility. And adopts natural and normal operation mode. When lifting a load or when the crane is running, the operator must not leave the operating position.

2) In order to ensure safety, before operation, check whether the forklift works normally and meets the requirements for lifting goods. Ensure that the side lifter is not overloaded. Please refer to the working range of the side lift arm to ensure that the front and rear unbalanced load does not exceed 10% of the load in the corresponding working range, and keep the container and the chassis at an appropriate distance between 300mm and 500mm.

3) Do not operate side-lifting jacks on soft ground that may sink, landslide, or collapse, or near ditches. If you absolutely need to work on soft or yielding ground, you must increase the load-bearing area by placing a stabilizer support plate between the bottom of the stabilizing leg and the ground to fully distribute the load.

Place the container on the ground

Sideloader can put the container on the ground so that the end user can wander around and pack at will.
