Side-loaders were originally made in the beginning of the 1950s by Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company. These models were designed in response to a request from the US Air Force. The original concept was patented for commercial use but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over by the Baker Raulang Company in the year 1959. It was Baker Raulang who produced the design. Later, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. During the latter part of the nineteen fifties, the side-loaders were launched in Europe. The beginning units were designed by Italian manufacturer Fiora and the afterwards B-P Battioni e Pagani who pioneered the machine's use within timber yards.
Side-loaders vary a little from forward traveling, counterbalance forklifts in that they have their forks situated on the side of the machine. The operator drives the equipment sitting in a cabin like a standard forklift. The lifting, loading, and unloading functions are done by the mast located at the right-hand side of the driver. The cargo is usually transported lying on a metal or wooden deck. This helps to lessen distortion, stress and damage to the cargo. Recent innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a huge variety of lifting accessories being developed.
A few of the benefits of utilizing side-loaders over reach-stackers or conventional forklifts include: better visibility, safer operating conditions, and the ability to utilize available space more efficiently as well as faster traveling speeds.
Having an evenly distributed cargo it is advantageous to avoid lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting, in order to maintain safety. An even cargo helps to prevent unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
With the distribution of load in the container, the eccentricity of the center of gravity varies. It is very essential that the designers of handling machinery and containers consider in the engineering process. Like for instance, when sixty percent of the load by mass is distributed in 50 percent of the container length measured from one end of the equipment, the eccentricity corresponds to 5 percent.
