During the beginning of the 1950's, Henry Le Grande Lull from the Lull Manufacturing Company originally designed the sideloader forklift. These early units were requested from the US Air Force. The first idea was patented for commercial utilization but it was not developed until Lull Manufacturing was taken over during nineteen fifty nine by the Baker Raulang Company. It was Baker Raulang who put the design into production. Afterward, the name was changed to Baker Traveloader. During the latter part of the 1950s, the side-loaders were introduced to Europe. The early models were made 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 utilized in conventional forklifts. The unloading, lifting and loading functions are done by the mast situated at the driver's right-hand side. The load is typically transported lying on a metal or wooden deck. This helps to lessen distortion, stress and damage to the load. Recent innovations to the side-loader design have incorporated a large variety of lifting accessories being developed.
The use of side-loaders rather than the reach-stackers or traditional forklifts: enhanced visibility, safer operating conditions, and the ability to utilize available space more effectively as well as faster traveling speeds.
Having an evenly distributed cargo it is advantageous to prevent lack of vehicle stability, and excessive tilting, in order to maintain safety. A cargo that is even helps to avoid unacceptable load concentrations, and unacceptable vehicle axle loading.
The eccentricity of the center of gravity differs, with the distribution of load within the container. It is extremely essential that the designers of handling machinery and containers consider in the engineering process. For instance, when 60% of the load by mass is distributed in 50% of the length of the container measured from one end of the machine, the eccentricity corresponds to five percent.
