79,300 lbs or 99,200 lbs Safe Working Load.
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 79,300 lbs or 99,200 lbs (SWL) and a remarkable reach of 19.6 ft, 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.
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.
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.
Sledge Mode
The Sledge Mode has the fastest deployment and requires less space. Excellent for quickly handling containers in ground-to-ground operations.
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 66,000 lbs and two containers high, two rows deep weighing up to 37,500 lbs.
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.
High safety
The Hammar 500 always comes equipped with a high quality, PLC based monitoring system that provides maximum safety. The mass and position of the load is continuously monitored, ensuring smooth and safe operations.
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 - 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.
Axle configurations
We offer different axle configurations to your Hammar chassis; different numbers of axles, optimized weight distribution and more. All conforming to local regulations and your needs.
Gooseneck chassis
Our US trailer models are generally built as a gooseneck chassis. A gooseneck chassis is designed to transport High Cube (9' 6") containers below 13' 6". Max 79,300 lbs lifting capacity.
Road train options
A Hammar chassis can be built with a 5th wheel/turntable or a drawbar coupling for towing another semi-trailer or trailer behind. This allows you to have a road train that you can load and unload with the Sideloader.
Low bed chassis
A Hammar trailer chassis can be built as a low bed chassis, giving a significantly lower overall height when loaded. Excellent for extra high loads or other situations that restrict the height of the vehicle.

Choose what, when and how you can lift with your Hammar Sideloader.
2x20' capacity
A centre container beam with 4 twist locks is mounted. With the 2 twin-locks (joiners) included you can connect and lift 2 lightly loaded 20' containers simultaneously. Heavier can be transported.
Raise & Lower function
Allows the operator to adjust the height of the trailer when loading/unloading. Extremely useful when operating on uneven ground, or when transferring from/to a higher or lower companion chassis.
Top spreader
Allows handling of containers in the top corner castings and faster handling.
Weighing equipment
There are two different weighing systems; a load indicator system with an accuracy of ± 400 kg and/or a SOLAS certified scale with an accuracy down to ±50 with optional printer.
Composite foot plates
Two foot plates of recycled composite material. Placed under the support legs or trailer landing legs, they drastically reduce the ground pressure. Comes with storage brackets on the Hammarlift.
Adjustable container stops
Adjustable container stops allow for transport of over-wide containers, e.g. tank or pallet wide containers.
Stacking capacity
Equip your Hammarlift with the capacity to stack two containers high, from ground level.
Underslung Leg
Replace one of the support legs to the extending underslung leg. Excellent when support positions are below a chassis, rail wagon or similar. Available only for specific models.
Make operations and maintenance smoother and more efficient
Automatic container twist locks
Automatic crane twist locks for more efficient operations and less room for human error. Connected to automatically open/close when the crane power is engaged/disengaged.
Central Lubrication System
Automated centralized lubrication system supplying all greasing points on the crane and trailer. Reduces maintenance time and costs, and increases the product life time.
Hammar Optical positioning equipment
“HOPE” - Optical sensors reading the position of a container next to the Sideloader when lining up, alerting with a green light when cranes are in correct position for lifting. Increases efficiency.
Toolbox
Alloy toolbox mounted on the non-lifting side of the Hammar Sideloader.
Lifting axle
Lifting one axle when driving with less load. Saves greatly on tyre wear. Lowers automatically when maximum legal load is reached on the other axles.
Increase safety for operations, the Sideloader and staff.
Radio remote control
Cordless radio remote for all Hammar functions. The operator can control the lifting from any position outside the hazard zone, increasing usability, efficiency and safety. Choose a 1 or 2 hand unit.
Hammar Safety+
A high quality, PLC based monitoring system that provides maximum safety. The mass and position of the load is continuously monitored. Includes a display that shows a number of useful variables.
Reverse camera/sensor
A camera or reverse sensor is installed in the rear of the Hammarlift. Increases efficiency, usability, safety and prevents damages.
Extra lights
Equip the Hammar Sideloader with extra LED lights for safer and more efficient operations with limited daylight. E.g. illumination of twist locks, extra reverse lights, or extra warning lights etc.
Personalize the look and style of your Hammar Sideloader. Your advertising on the road.
Painting options
Choose from a number of painting options. Colors of chassis and cranes. What type of paint, Hammar standard, metallic, clear coating or with zinc primer.
Aluminium rims
Aluminium rims gives a sleek and polished finish. Also reduces tare weight by 100-200 kg, while giving heat distrubution, longer life time for tyres, brakes etc. and lowered fuel consumption.
Advertisement plate
Personalize your Hammar with advertisement plates mounted on the sideguards or at the back crane of the 195 model. Choose color, graphics, text etc according to your needs.
Mudguards
Choose from standard mud guards and full width mud guards. Available with custom prints as option.
Choose how to power your Hammarlift.
Truck Hydraulics
Mount a wet kit (hydraulic pump, reservoir, hoses, valves, and PTO) on your truck or use an existing one to power the Hammar. This reduces tare weight and lowers maintenance compared to alternatives.
Diesel Power Pack
Power the Hammar by mounting a separate engine on the chassis. Makes the unit powered independently of any truck.
