As the Sidelifter is suitable for travelling on general roads for large distances and able to quickly load and unload without additional equipment, it is often used for delivering and picking up shipping containers from within a commercial district. Although these can self load, they are more often loaded or unloaded at the port with a straddle carrier or reach stacker.
A sidelifter is a specialised vehicle or semi-trailer used to hoist and transport ISO standard intermodal containers over longer distances.
The sidelifter loads and unloads containers via a pair of hydraulic powered cranes mounted at each end of the vehicle chassis. The cranes are designed to lift containers from the ground, from other vehicles including rolling stock, from railway wagons and directly from stacks on docks or aboard container ships. A standard sidelifter is also able to stack a container at a two containers' height on the ground. If the sidelifter chassis is of 40' length or more, the cranes of the sidelifter can be shifted hydraulically along the sidelifter chassis to be able to pick up either one 20', one 40', or two 20' ISO containers at a time.
20ft Self Loader Truck
1. Smooth and safe transportation
The container is firmly installed on the chassis, so unnecessary container movement can be prevented, thereby ensuring safer transportation.
2. Durable and easy to transport
Even if the container chassis is made of lighter materials, it is durable enough to load and transport heavy objects easily.
3. Suitable for different transportation requirements
There are different types of container chassis according to specific needs. Therefore, companies can choose from a variety of options based on their transportation needs and preferences.
4. Fast, cost-effective and timely delivery
The container lifter trailer chassis is made of sturdy structural material, which can load multiple containers at one time, which makes the whole process faster. Due to timely delivery, additional charges can be avoided, making the entire process cost-effective.
5. Improve customer satisfaction
Because containers can be transported safely and quickly, they can increase reliability and improve the overall customer experience.
According to your requirements, companies can choose the best container chassis for daily operations. You can consider the following factors:
●Usage and requirements (industry specific)
If you only need to transport containers, it is best to model the container. However, if you also need to move other types of goods, then it is best to choose a flatbed container trailer because it has a dual purpose. If you need to load and unload cargo at a specific location, a chassis trailer with tilting function is a good choice.
●Axle number/weight threshold
According to the weight of the cargo or container, you can choose the number of axles in the case. The more the number of axles, the stronger the carrying capacity. For daily use, a 2-axis or 3-axis chassis is usually used.
●Expenses incurred
The cost of a dedicated chassis is higher than that of an ordinary chassis. Before using a dedicated chassis or chassis trailer, please consider your container specifications and requirements.
