Hammar 153 Main

Why the Hammar 153 Sideloader?

The Hammar 153 model is a combination of the Hammar 155 and Hammar 151 model, with two different support legs, the 155 Step-Over support leg and the 151 Precision support leg.
The Step-Over support leg unfolds and extends 3.2 meters outward in a ”step-over” motion. This allows fast and easy transfer operations by placing the support leg at ground level on the opposite side of the companion chassis, while also giving extra stability. The second "Precision" support leg" is extending and tilting, making its positioning very flexible.
Combined this allows for fast and efficient transfer operations, while retaining a lot of versatility during more complex operations compared to only using one type of support leg. The Hammar 153 is an excellent choice when you have multiple transfer operations but want to retain the versatility of the precision support leg.

Hammar 153 Sideloader Container Lifting

Lifting from/to ground

The Hammar 153 Sideloader handles containers to/from the ground easily and with high stability. A full handling cycle only takes 3-4 minutes.

Hammar 153 Sideloader Transfer

Transfer from/to another chassis

The Hammar 153 Sideloader can easily transfer to/from another chassis, including many rail wagons. Using the Step-over leg tunnel the truck can drive away safely without needing to wait for the Sideloader to finish the operation. A transfer operation can also be performed from a companion chassis to the ground, while the Sideloader is already loaded with another shipping container.

Hammar 153 Sideloader Stacking

Stacking option

The Hammar 153 can be equipped with 30 tonnes stacking capacity, enabling stacking of two high cube containers. Two extra support legs are mounted on the non-lifting side for extra stability and safety.

The two different support legs

The StepOver support leg can be placed at ground level on the opposite side of the companion chassis, or in a folded position on top of the chassis. The precison support leg can be placed behind/in front of the companion chassis, or on top or under it depending on the situation. When handling a lighter load, the precision leg can also be placed vertically down.

Hammar 153 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 - 153 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.

Sideloader Custom Container Sizes

Load & container size adaptions

Hammar can adapt your Sideloader to carry various sized containers or other loads. We can build the chassis to fit containers from 5' to 60' and have wide range of other solutions for other loads or containers requiring additional equipment.

Hammar Dropdeck
