Sideloaders Built To Perform Sideloaders are designed for handling long, bulky materials such as bar stock, tubing, laminates, plywood sheets, and other loads that are difficult to move with standard forklifts.
The Raymond 9300 and 9400 Sideloader forklifts make short work of long and bulky loads with high-lift capability and exceptional maneuverability. With a robust 6,000 lbs., 10,000 lbs., or 12,000 lbs. capacity and load handling up to 26 feet long, these sideloaders are versatile for a wide range of essential warehouse tasks, such as transporting, rack storage, feeding machine tools and work cells, and moving materials like bar stock, tubing, laminates and plywood sheets in very narrow aisles and while stacking up to 30 feet high.

Learn more about sideloader forklifts, lift capacities, long-load handling, narrow aisle performance, and common industrial applications.
A sideloader carries loads parallel to the direction of travel instead of in front of the truck, allowing it to transport long, bulky materials through narrow aisles. Common applications include loading cantilever racking, supplying machine tools and work cells, and moving long materials through facilities where a conventional forklift would require much wider aisles.
Sideloaders are designed to handle materials that are too long for standard forklifts. Typical loads include bar stock, structural steel, tubing, pipe, lumber, plywood, laminates, and extruded profiles. Raymond sideloaders can transport materials up to 26 feet in length.
The Raymond 9300 sideloader handles loads up to 6,000 pounds with lift heights reaching 360 inches. The 9400 handles up to 12,000 pounds at heights up to 367 inches, with a 10,000-pound configuration also available. Both models operate on 48-volt battery systems and feature Raymond's ACR System for faster travel speeds and lower total cost of ownership.
Raymond sideloaders can transport loads up to 26 feet in length, far exceeding the capabilities of conventional counterbalanced and reach trucks. Combined with stacking heights of up to 30 feet, they are well suited for storing and transporting long materials in industrial and manufacturing facilities.
Yes. Narrow aisle performance is one of the primary advantages of a sideloader. Because the load travels parallel to the truck, sideloaders can operate in aisles that are too narrow for a counterbalanced forklift carrying the same material. Crab steering and independent wheel movement provide exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces.
Common users include steel service centers, lumber yards, building material distributors, metal fabricators, and manufacturers handling long or bulky products. Sideloaders are also ideal for operations storing or processing bar stock, pipe, tubing, sheet goods, and structural materials.
A counterbalanced forklift creates significant load overhang when transporting long materials and requires much wider aisles to operate safely. A sideloader carries the load parallel to the direction of travel, eliminating these limitations while improving stability.
With stacking heights up to 30 feet, crab steering, and variable-speed lift and lower controls, Raymond sideloaders provide excellent precision and efficiency when handling long materials in industrial warehouse environments.
