Baumann Sideloader
A side loader forklift is a type of forklift designed to lift and transport long, bulky loads like timber, pipes, or steel in narrow aisles or confined spaces. Unlike conventional forklifts, which lift loads from the front, side loaders have forks located on the side of the vehicle, allowing them to pick up loads from the side without having to turn the entire machine.
Key Features:
- Side-mounted forks: The forks extend sideways, making it easy to handle long materials without awkward maneuvering.
- Narrow aisle capability: Side loaders are ideal for working in narrow aisles or areas with limited space.
- Load stability: They provide better stability for long loads as the center of gravity remains close to the vehicle.
- Operator cabin: The driver’s cabin is usually positioned on the opposite side of the loading area for better visibility and control.
- Indoor and outdoor use: Side loader forklifts can be used both indoors and outdoors, often in warehouses, lumber yards, or steel factories.
These forklifts are particularly useful in industries that handle long or oversized materials, offering efficiency in storage and transportation in tight spaces.
