Side-loaders were originally designed during the start of the nineteen fifties by Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company. These units were made in response to a request from the US Air Force. The original concept was patented for commercial utilization but it was not made until Lull Manufacturing was taken over by the Baker Raulang Company during nineteen fifty nine. It was Baker Raulang who put the design into production. Later, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the late 1950s, the side-loaders were introduced to Europe. The beginning units were designed by Italian manufacturer Fiora and the afterwards B-P Battioni e Pagani who pioneered the equipment's use within timber yards.
Side-loaders vary a little from forward traveling, counterbalance forklifts in that they have their forks situated on the side of the machine. The operator drives the machine sitting in a cabin like a traditional forklift. The lifting, loading, and unloading functions are performed by the mast located at the driver's right-hand side. The load is normally transported lying on a wooden or metal deck. This helps to decrease stress, distortion and damage to the load. New innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a huge range of lifting accessories being developed.
Some of the benefits of utilizing side-loaders over reach-stackers or conventional forklifts consist of: safer operating conditions, better visibility, and faster traveling speeds as well as the ability to use available space more effectively.
To be able to maintain safety, having an equally distributed cargo is beneficial to avoid lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting. An even cargo helps to prevent unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity varies, with the load distribution within the container. It is extremely important that the designers of handling machinery and containers consider during the engineering process. Like for instance, when sixty percent of the load by mass is distributed in fifty percent of the length of the container measured from one end of the machinery, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.
