Side-loaders were originally made in the beginning of the nineteen fifties by Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company.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 United States Air Force. The first concept was patented for commercial utilization but it was not made until Lull Manufacturing was taken over during nineteen fifty nine by the Baker Raulang Company. It was Baker Raulang who put the design into production. Afterward, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the late nineteen fifties, 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 utilization in timber yards.
The side-loader is a bit different from the counterbalanced forklift, since the traditional forward-traveling forklifts have front facing forks whilst the side-loader has side facing forks. The operator though would drive in a cabin similar to those utilized in traditional forklifts. The unloading, lifting and loading functions are done by the mast situated at the right-hand side of the driver. The load is normally transported lying on a wooden or metal deck. This helps to lessen stress, distortion and damage to the cargo. New innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a large variety of lifting accessories being developed.
The utilization of side-loaders rather than the reach-stackers or standard forklifts: improved visibility, safer operating conditions, and faster traveling speeds as well as the ability to use available space more efficiently.
To be able to maintain safety, having an equally distributed load is helpful to prevent lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting. A cargo which is even helps to avoid unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity differs, with the distribution of load in the container. It is extremely essential that the designers of handling machines and containers take this into consideration in the engineering process. Like for instance, when sixty percent of the load by mass is distributed in 50 percent of the length of the container measured from one end of the equipment, the eccentricity corresponds to 5 percent.
