Side loader forklift training

Home / Forklift Truck Training / Side loader forklift training

With a similar slim structure to the reach forklifts, side loaders are great for loading and unloading in narrow aisle spaces. They allow for access to areas where your regular counterbalance could not fit, this is due to the fork location on the side of the vehicle rather than on the front. This also gives operators excellent visibility when loading and unloading from pallet racking. They are available in both outdoor and indoor models and are used for moving longer materials such as timber or tubing because of the limited overhang, therefore increasing safety.
