What is a side loader forklift?

Side-loader forklifts are a type of forklift designed for use in tight spaces. Rather than front-mounted forks, side-loaders have the forks on the side of the vehicle. This allows side-loaders to operate in tight spaces, carrying long or wide loads with ease. There are also multi-directional side-loaders.

What types of loads can a side loader forklift lift and move?

Side-loader forklifts are designed to carry long or wide loads such as timber, pipes, and metal bars, and sheets. Their ability to carry wide loads makes them great for carrying containers and other wide loads as well, making a side forklift loader perfect for use in tight spaces.

What are the main benefits of using a side loader forklift in narrow aisles?

Side loader forklift trucks can approach loads from different angles. They can load and unload without turning, which might not always be possible with regular-sized trucks in smaller warehouses. You can then make the most of your space. You’ll even be able to manoeuvre the goods around the warehouse more easily.

What is the maximum weight capacity of a side loader forklift?

The side-loader forklifts in our range at Adaptalift have maximum weight capacities up to 6 tonnes, with maximum lift heights up to 6.5 metres. If you have any questions about a specific model, we’re always happy to help – don’t hesitate to get in touch or ask for a brochure.

What industries typically use side loader forklifts?

Side-loader forklifts are perfect for industries where there’s a need to transport long or wide objects, such as timber, textiles, and metalworking. The unique design of side-loaders allows their use in tight spaces, so these vehicles are commonly used in industries where space is at a premium.
