Hammar 160 Sidelifter

Why the Hammar 160 Sidelifter?

The Hammar 160 is a proven sidelifter model, designed with simplicity and reliability in mind. With 36 tonnes lifting capacity it can easily handle fully loaded containers.
It has the lowest tare weight on the market for any sidelifter model with a lifting capacity over 30 tonnes, from 7.1 tonnes with 20’-40’ capacity and 3 axles.
The support legs move in a fixed arc and can be placed in two positions: on ground level or on top of a companion chassis or railroad wagon. The Hammar 160 is the best choice when you want to maximize your payload. It is excellent at lifting to/from the ground, and works well when transferring to/from some companion chassis.

Lifting from/to ground

The Hammar 160 is fast, easy and safe for lifting containers to/from ground level. A full handling cycle only takes 3-4 minutes.

Transfer from/to another chassis

Hammar 160 can transfer to/from a number of other chassis types. The support legs are both placed onto the companion chassis or with one support leg behind or in front of it.

Stacking option

Hammar 160 can be equipped with 30 tonnes stacking capacity, enabling stacking of two 8’6” containers. Two extra support legs are mounted on the non-lifting side for safety and extra stability.

Maximum payload

The Hammar 160 is the lightest heavy duty sidelifter in the world, providing lower emissions, less wear and maximum payload on the road.

Hammar 160 chassis options

When buying a Hammar Sideloader you always get a high quality Hammar designed chassis, optimized and made for Sideloader operations. We have a number of models to fulfil our customers’ requirements, which are then adapted to suit local regulations and the customer’s needs.

Fixed Chassis, Sliding Cranes - 160 S

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 - 160 C

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.

Telescopic chassis, Advanced - 160 A

The A-chassis (Advanced) is a unique chassis from Hammar and, as the name suggests, the most advanced. It is made of three moving chassis parts and has sliding cranes. This makes it possible to optimise the weight distribution for both 2 and 3-axle trucks, as well as for different container sizes. It is also possible to make it shorter than a C-chassis in its shortest position (20’).

Telescopic chassis, Trombone - 160 T

The T-chassis (Trombone) is the simplest telescopic chassis. The chassis extends and retracts between 20’-40’ modes and has fixed cranes. The T-chassis can be built to the shortest length, providing a high level of manoeuvrability when transporting 20’ containers.
