During the start of the nineteen fifties, Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company initially made the sideloader forklift. These early units were requested from the United States Air Force. The initial concept was patented for commercial application but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over in nineteen fifty nine by the Baker Raulang Company. It was Baker Raulang who put the design into production. Later, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the latter part of the 1950s, 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 in timber yards.
The side-loader is a bit different from the counterbalanced forklift, as the conventional forward-traveling forklifts have front facing forks while the side-loader has side facing forks. The operator though would drive inside a cabin like those utilized in conventional forklifts. The unloading, lifting and loading functions are performed by the mast located at the right-hand side of the driver. The load is typically transported lying on a metal or wooden deck. This helps to decrease stress, distortion and damage to the load. New innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a large range of lifting accessories being developed.
The use of side-loaders instead of the reach-stackers or standard forklifts: enhanced visibility, safer operating conditions, and the ability to use available space more effectively as well as faster traveling speeds.
Having an evenly distributed cargo it is beneficial to prevent lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting, in order to maintain safety. A load which is even helps to prevent unacceptable vehicle axle loading, and unacceptable load concentrations.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity varies, with the load distribution in the container. It is extremely important that the designers of handling equipment and containers consider during the engineering process. For example, when sixty percent of the load by mass is distributed in fifty percent of the container length measured from one end of the machine, the eccentricity corresponds to 5 percent.
