Sidelifter Add Ons

Toplift Frame

Rigid or hydraulically-controlled extendible top lift frame

A toplift frame optimises sideloader models for use where bottom pockets are inaccessible. It allows the container to be lifted from the top.

Features:

  • Rigid or hydraulically-controlled extendible top lift frame capable of lifting 20’, 30’, 40’ containers.
  • 36-tonne lifting capacity.
  • Faster operation compared to standard chains.
  • Automatic twist locks activated remotely at the press of a button.
  • Double stack capability.
  • Can be fitted to both SB450 or SB362 sidelifter models.

Power Pack

Steelbro engineered power pack system equips the sidelifter with its own autonomous power pack.

This allows the sideloader to be operated with any truck without any specific hydraulic fittings, giving flexibility for operators with a fleet of trucks.

Features:

• Flexibility – the sidelifter can be operated with any truck.
• Kubota engine is lighter than the alternatives with a dry weight of 184 kg.
• Efficient – lower running costs compared to other engines, making it cheaper to run.

Your side lifter is fitted with a special hydraulic kit for each truck including a PTO on the gearbox to operate the side lifter hydraulics.

Features

  • Lighter tare weight
  • Dedicated to a single truck
