Sidelifter Container Semi Trailer and Conex Boxes

What is a side-loader trailer & how it will benefit you?

A side-loader trailer is a self-loading trailer with two hydraulic lifting arms (cranes) to lift a container onto it. Our state-of-the-art swinglifter side-loader trailer allows for precise placement of shipping containers wherever accessible by truck, facilitating ground level loading or unloading with unmatched precision; particularly in hard to reach areas. It safely lifts and transports even fully loaded containers with a powerful 35-ton capacity. This versatile equipment handles 10', 20', 40', and 45' containers, maintaining stability throughout the process. Ideal for moving large or heavy cargo effortlessly, it's a reliable tool in modern logistics—where safety meets strength and reliability.

Swinglifter technology excels in enabling seamless transfers to and from various platforms including the ground, container chassis', flatbeds, and rail cars.

Shippers benefit from this efficient system as we’re able to deliver loaded containers straight to your door and set it on the ground where you need it. The innovative approach taken by Container Movers ensures that container loading and unloading is carried out safely on solid ground. This method significantly diminishes injury risks associated with traditional lifting methods while eliminating wait times typically required for other types of heavy-lifting machinery to become available or when cranes simply will not fit.

Such efficiency not only streamlines operations for transport operators but also translates into time and cost savings for importers, manufacturers, contractors, warehouse managers, residential movers, and distributors alike.

Key Features and Functionality of Side Loader Trucks

  • Time-Efficiency

Swinglifter and sideloader self-loading container trailers boast a swift and efficient level-lifting, container-handling process, reducing loading and unloading times significantly. The innovative design allows for quick maneuverability and a “no-tilt” loading of containers, optimizing your overall logistics operations.

  • Versatility

These trailers are designed to handle a variety of container sizes, and weights, up to 72,000 pounds, providing the flexibility needed to adapt to diverse shipping requirements. Its ability to transport 10’, 20’, 40’ and 45’ containers, with no tilting, enhances your shipping container moving capabilities, accommodating a range of commercial and residential needs.

  • Space Optimization

With a Container Movers’ side-loader trailer, you can maximize the use of available space by efficiently stacking containers. This space optimization translates into cost savings and increased efficiency, by allowing you to store more containers in a single footprint.

  • Safety Standards

Safety is paramount in logistics. Container Movers’ self-loading, level lifting trailers adhere to the highest safety standards, ensuring secure and damage-free transportation of your goods. The design includes features like automatic tilt alert sensors and secure latching mechanisms, guaranteeing a stable container transport experience.

Ground-to-Ground Pick-up and Delivery of Shipping Containers

The value in utilizing a sideloader is found in its ground-to-ground, level-lifting delivery system. It eliminates additional logistic costs and the need for specialized loading areas. Our sideloader’s superior maneuverability and self loading trailer, allows them to move containers directly from the ground to the ground, a platform, a flatbed, or railcar, thereby providing flexibility and optimization in container logistics. If you have a container, loaded or unloaded, that needs to be relocated, with minimal tilting, we can make it happen.

Long-Haul Shipping Container Transportation Without Traditional Cranes

Replacing the traditionally high cost of hiring a crane, crane operator, and rigger, our sideloader trailer and truck efficiently moves containers from the ground to a flatbed for long-haul transportation. Although it might be more cost effective to use a flatbed for transports greater than 300 miles, we'll run anywhere in the country. Our sideloader trailer utilizes 2 crane arms that allows for self-loading or loading onto another chassis, thereby removing the logistical complexities and costs associated with crane equipment, operators, and riggers, as well as streamlining the entire container transport process.

Cost-Effectiveness Over Crane Operations

Utilizing a sideloader will prove more cost effective than a traditional crane, every time. Crane prices vary dramatically depending on the weight of your container, and the heavier your container is the bigger the crane bill will be. How is a sideloader different? Our sideloader's rate is the same, every time. For businesses or customers in need of shipping container relocation or Conex transportation, our price won't change based on the weight

Precision Placement and Level Loading

Our sideloaders offer precision placement of containers within 1/4-inch accuracy, whether containers need to be positioned next to each other, on blocks, or adjacent to a building. The sideloaders use of two crane arms creates four points of contact, ensuring level loading and transfer of containers. This contrasts with cranes that have one point of contact with a four-point sling, leading to less stability and potential swinging of the container.

Double Stacking Capability

Sideloaders go beyond standard container transport capabilities by allowing the double stacking of containers. Our advanced sideloader has extended arms, with the unique ability to reach over a container to either lift or doublestack another container. This is ideal for tightly confined areas. When you need to save time and money all while optimizing your space - our sideloader is your solution.

Factors That Influence Container Transport Costs

Moving shipping containers involves many variables that can impact the final cost. At Container Movers, we prioritize transparency by providing detailed, tailored quotes that include all factors upfront. While some container transport companies may list flat rates or basic prices on their websites, these can often be misleading. Such quotes may not account for the complexities of real-world logistics, leaving you with unexpected charges later.

Our team believes in transparency and provides detailed quotes to avoid surprises. These, though not limited to, are the common factors that may affect pricing:

  • Crane Use: When cranes are needed for loading or unloading instead of side loaders, costs range from $1,500 to $4,000 per end of the route.

  • Wrecker Services: If a tractor becomes stuck or requires repositioning, costs vary from $300 to $4,000.

  • Container Weight and Crane Size: Heavier containers or those requiring larger cranes may increase costs within the ranges above.

  • Obstacles to Site Entry: Barriers like trees, rocks, mud, or temporary bridges can influence pricing depending on the complexity of the site.

  • Port Entry Fees: Specific ports, such as Terminal 5 in Tacoma, WA, have flat fees (e.g., $600) for drayage in or out. Note that side loaders are not permitted at SOME ports due to union restrictions.

  • Contain Go Wheels: If your container requires repositioning, costs start at $300.

  • Location-Specific Trucking Rates: Costs vary depending on regional factors, with coastal routes typically priced higher per mile than inland routes.

  • Driver Per Diem and Truck Parking: Overnight trucking away from home incurs per diem charges for drivers and parking fees.

  • Traffic Challenges: Long-haul trips through regions with heavy traffic may cost more than open-road routes.

  • Fuel Surcharge: National fuel surcharges fluctuate weekly, affecting overall pricing.

Our logistics managers will walk you through each factor, ensuring you fully understand the quote. No hidden fees, no surprises—just honest, reliable service.
