Detailed Description
The ZW Group Container Side Loader (also known as a Side Lifter or Swing Lift) is engineered for maximum versatility and efficiency. Equipped with dual hydraulic cranes, it can safely lift standard 20ft and 40ft containers weighing up to 45 tons. The sliding crane modules allow for precise positioning, enabling operators to double-stack containers or transfer them to other trailers and wagons. This independent lifting capability significantly reduces operation costs by eliminating the need for forklifts or reach stackers at the destination.
Built for durability on rough terrain, our Side Loading Container Trailer features a chassis made from High-Strength HG60 Steel, ensuring superior resistance to twisting and heavy loads. We utilize premium components, including 3 Axles (Fuwa/BPW), heavy-duty mechanical or air suspension, and wear-resistant tires (12R22.5). The Green paint finish uses a polyurethane coating for long-lasting corrosion resistance, though customizable colors are available to match your fleet branding.
Quality and safety are our top priorities. Each Boxloader undergoes rigorous 110% dynamic load testing before delivery to guarantee reliability. The advanced hydraulic system includes safety check valves to prevent accidental drops, and the unit is operated via a Wireless Remote Control, keeping the driver at a safe distance during operation. For export, we ensure wax spraying and waterproof packaging to protect the trailer against seawater corrosion during ocean shipping.
