Sidelifter Container Trailer

Self-Loading | 20ft & 40ft Container Handling

Load and unload containers anywhere — no crane required. Twin hydraulic cranes deliver complete container independence for your logistics operation.

Highlights

Lift Anywhere.

A self-loading sidelifter that picks up and sets down ISO containers without any external crane or terminal infrastructure.

Twin Cranes. Total Control.

Two independent hydraulic cranes mounted on the trailer frame — working in synchronised precision to handle 20ft and 40ft containers.

37 Tonnes Per Crane.

Each crane delivers 37 tonnes of lifting capacity, providing reliable and safe container handling for the heaviest intermodal loads.

Operational Independence.

Single-operator design removes the need for port or terminal access — move containers directly to any site, anywhere.

TWIN HYDRAULIC CRANE SYSTEM

Hydraulic cranesControlled liftingContainer side loader

Twin Hydraulic Crane System

The side loader system uses twin hydraulic cranes mounted on the trailer structure to lift and position ISO containers from the side. Crane capacity, control system and hydraulic layout should be selected according to the target container weight, operating market, duty cycle and customer loading routine.

Cranes

Twin Crane Layout

Front and rear lifting units work together for balanced side-loading movement.

Control

Controlled Container Positioning

Hydraulic movement helps the operator place containers accurately in restricted areas.

Operation

Duty-Cycle Focus

Hydraulic and structural configuration can be matched to frequent container handling operations.

20FT, 30FT AND 40FT ISO CONTAINER FLEXIBILITY

20ft30ft40ftExtendable chassisTwistlocksISO containers

Built Around Standard and Project Container Logistics

The trailer is positioned for ISO container transport and handling, including 20ft, 30ft and 40ft containers. Fixed chassis layouts can be selected for regular container work, while extendable sidelifter chassis options support operations that handle different container lengths on the same trailer. Configuration details such as chassis length, twistlock layout, lifting equipment and axle specification should be confirmed according to container size, weight, local regulations and transport routes.

Producer-Built Configuration
