The side loader trailer is a specialized semi-trailer used to lift and transport standard containers over long distances. Also known as a container side loader, this trailer is basically used for container transfer.

It consists of a lift module, or crane mounted on the trailer chassis. These lifting parts can also be mounted on subframes normally mounted on trucks.
Trailer lift modules are usually made of high-quality, high-strength steel to provide sufficient strength capability.
They include prominent features such as wide-angle stabilizer booms and legs, controlled by a hydraulic unit that can be powered from the tractor’s power take-off system (PTO) or auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
The lift module can easily slide smoothly inward or outward in 20 ‘, 40 ‘or 45’ positions.
