Efficient container handling

Sideloader Transport&Logistics Main

The intermodal transportation has globally been increasing heavily the last 20 years. In today’s demand for efficient supply chain management solutions, the intermodal transportation is playing a key role.

A Hammar sideloader can be put into action anywhere in the Intermodal freight chain on land; inside ports & terminals, on the road to the customer or for rail-to road/road to rail operations. Efficient intermodal transportation always starts and ends with efficient and fast container loading and unloading. A Hammar sideloader can independently handle containers anywhere any time with a single operator, including ground/trailer, weighing, transfer, and railroad operations.

A Hammar Sideloader is safe, fast and versatile, giving financial values for all players in the intermodal logistic chain, the shipper, transporter, terminal operator as well as the consignee. Using a Hammar side loader transporters can increase the number of containers delivered daily which contributes to increased profitability, and deliver containers directly to the customer.

In ports, terminals and hubs the sideloader can take the role as a container handling resource, taking care of longer routes or assisting lifting equipment such as reachstackers and forklifts. It can also be used for both shorter and longer transports on public roads where terminal equipment not is allowed or possible to operate.
