In the start of the 1950's, Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company initially designed the sideloader forklift. These early units were requested from the United States Air Force. The first idea was patented for commercial application but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over by the Baker Raulang Company during 1959. It was Baker Raulang who made the design. Afterward, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the late nineteen fifties, the side-loaders were introduced to Europe. The early units were designed by Italian manufacturer Fiora and the afterwards B-P Battioni e Pagani who pioneered the machine's utilization within timber yards.
Side-loaders vary a bit from forward traveling, counterbalance forklifts in that they have their forks located on the side of the machinery. The operator drives the equipment sitting in a cabin like a standard forklift. The lifting, loading, and unloading functions are done by the mast situated at the driver's right-hand side. The cargo is usually transported lying on a metal or wooden deck. This helps to lessen distortion, stress and damage to the load. New innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a huge variety of lifting accessories being developed.
Some of the benefits of using side-loaders over reach-stackers or standard forklifts comprise: safer operating conditions, enhanced visibility, and faster traveling speeds as well as the ability to use available space more efficiently.
Having an equally distributed load it is helpful to prevent excessive tilting, and lack of vehicle stability, so as to maintain safety. An even load helps to avoid unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
With the distribution of load in the container, the eccentricity of the center of gravity varies. It is extremely essential that the designers of containers and handling machines consider during the engineering process. Like for example, when sixty percent of the load by mass is distributed in 50 percent of the container length measured from one end of the equipment, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.
