A sideloader is a type of forklift in which the lifting forks are perpendicular
to the direction the forklift travels. Because the forks are on the side of
the truck, the sideloader is able to maneuver through closed space aisles and
other narrow areas. Sideloader forklifts extend their forks with a scissor
action to pick up and place a load on a storage area.
Sideloaders are best suited for handling long, bulky items in narrow aisles.
A sideloader is very useful in transporting tubing, pipes, plywood sheets and
other long goods. This type of forklift can lift to a maximum height of 30
feet and carry loads up to 10,000 pounds.
Sideloaders may come in sit-down or stand-up models. In a sit-down model,
the operator sits inside an enclosed cab-making this type of sideloader good
for outdoor applications. A stand-up model, most often used indoors, allows
the operator to stand on the machine while maneuvering through aisles.
