The main component systems of the SB330T Sidelifter are:
The SB330T Sidelifter has two rack and pinion driven traversing modules and can carry one 20 foot, one 40 foot or 2 x 20 foot containers.
The chassis is a 'trombone' style which means that it can extend or retract (diagram above is shown extended). The retracted position will carry one 20 foot container and is designed for use only in yards or other off road environments where the shorter trailer will aid maneuverability. It is not designed for on road use where speeds may exceed 30mph. For more information, refer to .
All that is necessary for operating the Sidelifter is a tractor unit of sufficient size, with compatible braking, electrical and kingpin couplings.
