Side Loader Trailer

The side loader trailer is a specialized semi-trailer used to lift and transport standard containers over long distances. Also known as a container side loader, this trailer is basically used for container transfer.

1.Description of side loader trailer

It consists of a lift module, or crane mounted on the trailer chassis. These lifting parts can also be mounted on subframes normally mounted on trucks.
Trailer lift modules are usually made of high-quality, high-strength steel to provide sufficient strength capability.
They include prominent features such as wide-angle stabilizer booms and legs, controlled by a hydraulic unit that can be powered from the tractor’s power take-off system (PTO) or auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
The lift module can easily slide smoothly inward or outward in 20 ‘, 40 ‘or 45’ positions.

Crane — also known as the crane module

This is a hydraulic powered crane that can lift cargo/containers from the ground, another vehicle, a loading area, a railway wagon or directly from the top of another container placed on the ground from any other platform listed above.It can be lifted up and down the chassis.The crane is usually located on top of the side chassis and is usually able to move along the chassis which is moved by a hydraulic motor or cylinder in order to load different containers and cargo lengths.

Actuated Power Unit

Typically, a crane is powered by a diesel or gasoline engine mounted on a trailer.However, the sidelifter crane can also be powered by a PTO from a tractor or truck.

Steady legs

These hydraulic legs are used to lift a fully loaded container while keeping the vehicle in position. They prevent the vehicle from tilting. The stabilizer legs can be adjusted to aid operation on uneven ground and improve a more significant margin of safety and load limit when packing. Legs can be extended and tilted to provide additional capacity when containers are lifted from restricted locations such as trailer decks.

Chains

During the hoisting operation, the Angle casting is connected from the upper part of the crane to the base of the container.There is a special connection that allows the user to lock two 20ft containers when placed between them.This allows side lifters to carry them as if they were a 40-foot container.

Taxi/tractor

This is for pulling trailers.In some cases, it is powered by PTO.This fitting also provides compressed air for the brakes on the side lift wheels.In general, the side lift cannot be operated without being connected to the tractor.This is because, even if the power pack is carried by a side lift, the tractor provides compressed air for the trailer brakes and provides additional stability during lift operations.

Chassis

Chassis is an important structure.It manages the weight of loaded cargo/container.Not only that, it supports the crane.

Remote control.

This is a push-button and joystick device, basically connected by multiple pairs of wires or radio signals.This allows the driver operator to move around the container and view the equipment from a different Angle during the lifting operation.

3.Types of side loader trailer

The traditional container rail elevator is a typical embedded model. It is installed with a stable bracket and embedded lifting frame. Other models have a two-side loader with dagger legs or leg-over stabilizers. Container side cranes can also be classified according to chassis design, for example:

Grid chassis

This is a very unique original design.It is the most popular type of standard design.It has a very low tare weight while providing a lot of power.

I-Beam Chassis

This is an alternative chassis benchmark for customers.Therefore, customers can choose this type based on their own needs and comparison with other types.
