Efficient container handling

Container on ground

The Sideloader lift the container to ground level so that the end-user is able to pack/unpack it at their own leisure while the driver can drive off to the next job. This also enables safer and more efficient (un)loading of the container.

Transfer from/to another chassis

Sideloaders ability to transfer containers opens up a number of new opportunities. E.g. it can serve as a mobile lifting device unloading other chassis to ground level, transfer containers to another chassis for transport to a new location or be part of a convoy, and much more.

Rail wagon transfer

By being able to transfer containers from rail wagons the Sideloader can be used as an intermodal tool. Unlike many other solutions, the Sideloader can easily move between locations without high transportation costs and can serve multiple smaller locations efficiently.

Stacking

By double-stacking containers you can save valuable space. Containers stacked on top of each other also enable higher cargo security.

Terminal Handling

A sideloader can serve as container terminal/depot equipment. A cost-efficient alternative when handling lower volumes of containers, and offers a unique versatility compared to alternatives.

Just-in-time

With a single vehicle and operator for both transport and lifting, the risks for delays are minimized. You will never have to wait for 3rd party lifting equipment.

Weighing station

The Hammarlift can be equipped with a weight indication system or a certified scale system. This way you can use it as a mobile weighing station, or simply to control the weigh of the load for safety reasons. The scale system can be used to get a SOLAS verified gross mass before shipping a container

Specialized transport

Sideloaders can be used to lift and transport a number of different loads and is not limited to containers. Trucks, forklifts, cranes, combine harvesters, helicopters, reachstackers and more can be handled.

Peak hour assistance

The Sideloader can be used to assist other lifting equipment during peak hours to lift, transfer and transport. Operations won't be slowed down and you can avoid investing in over-capacity.

Road train options

A Hammar Sideloader can be built with a 5th wheel/turntable or a drawbar coupling for towing another semi-trailer or full-trailer behind. This allows you to have a road train that you can load and unload with the Sideloader.
