Side-loaders were initially made in the start of the nineteen fifties by Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company. These models were designed in response to a request from the United States Air Force. The original concept was patented for commercial use but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over in the year 1959 by the Baker Raulang Company. It was Baker Raulang who produced the design. Later, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. In the latter part of the nineteen fifties, the side-loaders were launched in Europe. The early models were designed by Italian manufacturer Fiora and the afterwards B-P Battioni e Pagani who pioneered the equipment's utilization within timber yards.
The side-loader is a bit different from the counterbalanced forklift, because the conventional forward-traveling forklifts have front facing forks while the side-loader has side facing forks. The operator however will drive inside a cabin like those used in traditional forklifts. The unloading, lifting and loading functions are done by the mast located at the right-hand side of the driver. The load is usually transported lying on a wooden or metal deck. This helps to lessen distortion, stress 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 instead of the reach-stackers or traditional forklifts: safer operating conditions, enhanced visibility, and faster traveling speeds as well as the ability to utilize available space more efficiently.
Having an evenly distributed load it is advantageous to prevent excessive tilting, and lack of vehicle stability, in order to maintain safety. A load which is even helps to prevent unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity varies, with the distribution of load within the container. It is very important that the designers of handling machines and containers consider in the engineering process. For instance, when 60% of the load by mass is distributed in fifty percent of the container length measured from one end of the machine, the eccentricity corresponds to 5%.
