Why the Hammar 500 Sideloader?

The Hammar 500 is the peak of Sideloader performance, offering unmatched versatility and capability. As the top-of-the-line model in the Hammar range, it is built for those who demand the highest capacity and the most advanced features available. With a lifting capacity of 36 or 45 tonnes (SWL) and a remarkable reach of 6 meters, the Hammar 500 stands out where other models fall short.
The model's support legs feature three different operational modes, each excelling at different tasks. It has the ability to handle more complex situations and is particularly useful in yard or terminal operations. It is the ideal choice for those who need a Sideloader model that can do it all. Whether it’s heavy lifting or more advanced container placements, the Hammar 500 delivers excellent performance across the board.

Hammar 500 Stepover Mode

StepOver Mode

The StepOver Mode is the main lifting mode of the Hammar 500. It has maximum stability, the highest Safe Working Load at range and is exceptional for transfer operations.

Hammar 500 Dock Mode

Dock Mode

The Dock Mode take smaller space and can be placed on different elevations. It also enables the Hammar 500 to lift lighter loads outside the support legs range, allowing more versatile positioning of the load.

Hammar 500 Sledge Mode

Sledge Mode

The Sledge Mode has the fastest deployment and requires less space. Excellent for quickly handling containers in ground-to-ground operations.

Sideloader Stack Two Rows Deep

Ultimate Stacking

The Hammar 500 can stack up to two high cube containers two rows deep. Its extendable cranes ensure easy and precise positioning, allowing you to stack two containers high weighing up to 30 tonnes and two containers high, two rows deep weighing up to 17,1 tonnes.

Sideloader H500 Transfer

Transfer from/to another chassis

The Hammar 500 offers exceptional transfer capabilities, making it easy to move containers from/to another chassis or rail wagon. Its support leg extends over and next to the companion chassis without making contact, creating a “tunnel” for fast and easy loading or unloading. This saves time by allowing trailers to drive in or out under the tunnel to the lifting zone without moving the support legs.

Fixed Chassis, Sliding Cranes - 500 HS

The S-chassis is a fixed length, and has sliding cranes meaning it can handle multiple container sizes. It has a straight forward design and the lowest tare weight of all Hammar chassis. It is the most common model used world-wide. Also available with fixed cranes for single size containers upon request.

Telescopic chassis, Combination - 500 HC

The most common telescopic chassis is the C-chassis (Combination). It combines sliding cranes with a telescopic chassis, and has a low tare weight. The sliding cranes enable optimized weight distribution of your load. A telescopic chassis is a requirement in some countries for transporting 45' or longer containers on the road.
