What is Side Loading?

Side loading refers to loading and unloading goods onto a transport vehicle from its side using a lift truck. It is an efficient method of handling large, heavy, or bulky goods.

This method involves using a lift truck with a specialised attachment to lift the goods onto the vehicle from the side, eliminating the need for a loading dock. It is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries to handle goods that cannot be loaded from the rear or top of the vehicle. Side loading can also be used in combination with other loading methods to optimise the transport of goods.
