During the beginning of the nineteen fifties, Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company originally made the sideloader forklift. These early models were requested from the US 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 produced the design. Afterward, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the late 1950s, the side-loaders were launched in Europe. The early models were made by Italian manufacturer Fiora and the afterwards B-P Battioni e Pagani who pioneered the machine's use in timber yards.
The side-loader is a little different from the counterbalanced forklift, because the traditional forward-traveling forklifts have front facing forks whilst the side-loader has side facing forks. The operator however would drive in a cabin like those utilized in traditional forklifts. The unloading, lifting and loading functions are performed by the mast located at the right-hand side of the driver. The load is usually transported lying on a metal or wooden deck. This helps to lessen stress, distortion and damage to the load. New innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a huge range of lifting accessories being developed.
The utilization of side-loaders as opposed to the reach-stackers or traditional forklifts: enhanced visibility, safer operating conditions, and faster traveling speeds as well as the ability to use available space more effectively.
Having an evenly distributed cargo 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.
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 account in the engineering process. Like for example, when 60 percent of the load by mass is distributed in 50% of the length of the container measured from one end of the machinery, the eccentricity corresponds to five percent.
