The Side Loader XL has a revolutionary large loading door that enables efficient loading of pallets or other cargo by wheel loader or forklift.
Side Loader XL is an innovative freight wagon with fully opening sides for unrestricted and super-efficient loading and unloading by forklift or wheel loader. Operated safely by a remote control, the entire 20-metre-long side opens vertically into a revolutionary large loading door, without supporting columns or sliding doors.
In predecessors to this wagon, columns or sliding doors were common solutions. Our mission was to remove any elements that limit accessibility and run the risk of being damaged in the loading and unloading process
The version of the Side Loader XL built for market pulp producer Södra Cell Värö has a total loading area of 51 sqm and a load weight of approximately 51 tonnes.
Construction and materials
High-strength steel and a lightweight truss construction enable the entire three-sectioned length of the wagon to be opened hydraulically. The durable, flexible material tarpaulin is used for the outer surface, keeping the weight low.
