Sideloader delivery is optimal for locations with space constraints at the intended container site. This delivery method allows the container to be offloaded directly onto the ground alongside the driver’s side of the vehicle, fitting neatly between the outrigger feet and just half a meter from the truck. Designed for versatility, this method accommodates 20’ containers on rigid trucks and 40’ containers on semi-trailers or articulated trucks. The delivery approach requires careful consideration of space, including clearance heights and widths, to ensure safe and effective unloading and positioning, making it ideal for tight spaces and various logistical challenges.
The unloading ground should be relatively level. Sloping sites can pose challenges, particularly if the truck is perpendicular to the slope, risking the container swinging and impacting the truck.
A minimum of 4.2m clearance is required to navigate under power lines, trees, and building eaves safely.
The truck needs at least 2.9m clearance, accommodating the container’s 2.44m width plus mirrors and other equipment.
Ensure there is at least 6.5m of vertical space available during unloading to avoid complications with overhead obstacles.
After unloading, the truck requires 3 to 4m of clear space to drive away.
When using sideloaders for container deliveries, it’s crucial to account for certain factors to ensure a smooth process. Here’s what you need to know:
