Sidelifter - The Best Side Lifter Trailer for Container
The Sidelifter is suitable for transporting containers to locations without container handling equipment. This type of Sidelifter can be refitted on the original transport vehicle chassis, and the self-loading and unloading function can be realized by adding a device with a lifting function, and can complete loading and unloading tasks such as self-loading, vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-ground. There are many kinds of chassis used in Sidelifter trailer, including semi-trailer chassis, all-terrain chassis and truck chassis.
The loading and unloading mechanism and the chassis can be fixedly connected together, and some of them adopt a sliding structure to realize the matching of containers of different sizes, and some of them are designed to be removable, and the self-loading and unloading device can be directly removed when it is not needed.
Sidelifter trailers generally adopt a side loading and unloading structure. Some products can realize double-side loading and unloading, which overcomes the shortage of frequent U-turns for single-side loading and unloading vehicles. Generally, only the containers placed on the ground are loaded or unloaded to the ground. Some Sidelifter trailers have strong product capabilities and can load and unload two-layer container stacks.

When operating the container, first place the sidelifter container trailer parallel to the side of the container, lower the outriggers to support it on the ground, and install it into the lower corner fitting hole of the container with the twistlock or hook on the sling. Slowly lift the container so that the bottom surface of the container is higher than the cargo platform of the vehicle, and then control the container to move to the cargo platform, drop and lock it to complete the self-loading operation of the container, otherwise, the self-unloading operation can be completed.
The Sidelifter container trailer loading and unloading device consists of two sets of foldable lifting devices with the same structure, which are arranged at the front and rear ends of the cargo platform where the transport vehicle places the container. It is only in the working state when it is opened during operation, and it is in the folded state during transportation and other times. The spacing is slightly greater than the length of the container so that the container can be placed between them.
The device connected to the container adopts flexible joints such as cables and chains, which can buffer and protect the partial load of the container, the elastic deformation of components such as the spreader arm, and the shaking of the container.

The power to drive the self-loading device can come from an independent power unit, or it can be obtained through the power take-off in the sidelifter trailer transmission system. During operation, without any other auxiliary lifting equipment, a single person can complete operations such as loading, transporting, unloading, and vehicle-to-vehicle transfer of fully loaded containers. The Sidelifter container trailer adopts the method of hoisting and towing the container from the rear of the vehicle to the vehicle.
First, the vehicle-mounted device is used to connect to one end of the container, lift the end higher than the floor of the transport vehicle, and then pull the container forward until it is in place.
