20/40ft Side Lift Container Trailer (37–45t) — Built for Fast Container Turnaround

Struggling with limited space or slow container handling? The Side Lift Container Trailer provides an all-in-one solution — load, transport, and unload containers anywhere without cranes or forklifts. Engineered with high-tensile steel and advanced hydraulic systems, it saves time, reduces labor, and boosts operational efficiency for logistics and freight companies.

A Side Lift Container Trailer (also known as a container side loader or self-loading trailer) is equipped with two hydraulic lifting cranes mounted on the trailer chassis. These cranes allow operators to lift 20ft or 40ft shipping containers directly from the ground, from another trailer, or onto the chassis for transportation. The system ensures smooth, stable, and safe container transfer even in tight working spaces. Panda Mech has been specializing in the production of Side Lift Container Trailers for over 20 years.

Built with a heavy-duty frame and precision hydraulic cylinders, Panda Mech side lift container trailer can handle lifting capacities ranging from 37 to 45 tons. The design minimizes operational downtime and provides unmatched versatility for container handling in ports, rail yards, warehouses, and inland logistics centers.

Depending on your needs, the Panda Mech Side Lift Container Trailer can be customized with different chassis lengths, steel grades (Q345, T700, or HARDOX), suspension types (mechanical or air), and axle brands (BPW or FUWA). We use leading-edge parts and professional designs to extend the life of your side lift container trailer and save costs.

Panda Mech’s side lifters deliver the perfect balance of strength, safety, and efficiency — helping logistics companies move containers faster and smarter. If you have any questions about side lift container trailers, please feel free to contact us.
