Sideloaders were originally developed for the timber / lumber industry.
Since those early years, they have become increasingly important in the steel, plastics and concrete industries.
Carrying a long load with a forklift presents a number of difficulties.
It is difficult to see the width of a load when moving forward with the forks lowered.
Travelling with the forks raised, however, is incredibly dangerous, and the main cause of tipping accidents.
Sideloaders travel forwards with the load secure at the side. Travelling long distances or through narrow doorways and aisles is simple.
As a result, loads can be stored in a smaller area, increasing efficiency, safety and productivity.
