2. How does the side loader load the container onto the trailer?

1.As containers come in different lengths and weights, the cranes can slide along the trailer chassis to move to the best location for lifting, and so that they place the container in the optimum position for the best weight distribution.

2.The 40ft side loader container extends and places outriggers on either side of the container to prevent the trailer from tipping. Once the outriggers are fully extended, the driver is ready to connect the chains.

3.This leg is fully extended. You can see the danger area for the lift zone marked on the leg. The chains are connected to the bottom corners of the container using the fixings. Once the lifting starts, it’s important that the driver stays well clear of the lifting zone.

4.The driver positions the 40ft side loader container next to the container. The power to the side loader is provided by the PTO or power take off.

Using a 40ft side loader container, a driver can load or unload a container in less than five minutes, This also means that only one person is involved in the lift, leading to improved safety factors.

Some models can also load a container onto another adjacent trailer or rail wagon or can stack one container on top of another that is at ground level.

2. When load just leaves the ground, please ensure there is no obstacle in load traveling direction. Do not make the container center beyond the stabilizer limits, otherwise, it may result in overturn accident. Be sure to keep all wheels in contact with the ground when extending stabilizers. During operation, do not retract stabilizers.

3.During lifting, make sure the lifter act smoothly and steady, if the container swing being lifted because of abrupt operation, stop the operation at once, restart the operation after quieting down

4.During operation of loading and unloading of the side loader container, if you have not a clear view in foreside, stop operation to check, do not operate blindly.

5.When perform inspection and maintenance work, be sure to avoid a collision, and do no-knock the parts fiercely to prevent them from distortion, and keep these parts from dust when working on them, in addition, add and inject grease to prolong their service life.
