Side-loaders were originally designed during the beginning of the nineteen fifties by Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company. These models were designed in response to a request from the US Air Force. The first idea was patented for commercial use but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over by the Baker Raulang Company during the year 1959. It was Baker Raulang who put the design into production. Afterward, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the latter part of the nineteen fifties, the side-loaders were introduced to Europe. The beginning models 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 differ a little from forward traveling, counterbalance forklifts in that they have their forks located on the side of the equipment. The operator drives the equipment sitting in a cabin similar to a traditional forklift. The lifting, loading, and unloading functions are done by the mast situated at the right-hand side of the driver. The load is typically transported lying on a wooden or metal deck. This helps to decrease distortion, stress and damage to the cargo. Recent innovations to the side-loader design have integrated a huge range of lifting accessories being developed.
The use of side-loaders rather than the reach-stackers or traditional forklifts: better visibility, safer operating conditions, and the ability to use available space more efficiently as well as faster traveling speeds.
To be able to maintain safety, having an equally distributed load is helpful to prevent lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting. A load that is even helps to prevent unacceptable vehicle axle loading, and unacceptable load concentrations.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity differs, with the distribution of load in the container. It is very essential that the designers of handling machinery and containers take this into consideration during the engineering process. Like for example, when 60% of the load by mass is distributed in 50% of the length of the container measured from one end of the machine, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.
