3‑Axle Side Loader Trailer Detailed Description
ZW Group’s 3‑axle side loader trailer offers a forward‑thinking, self‑loading solution for standard 20 ft and 40 ft containers. To begin with, its powerful dual‑crane hydraulic system lifts containers directly from ground level, thereby eliminating the need for external cranes. Moreover, the reinforced high‑tensile chassis absorbs heavy loads and rough terrain, so operators maintain stability even on unpaved sites.
In addition, the lifting system can be powered either by the truck’s PTO or an independent diesel engine; as a result, fleets gain the flexibility to work in ports, depots, or remote mining camps without extra equipment. Meanwhile, intuitive joystick controls and an optional wireless remote shorten learning curves, thus reducing labor costs and boosting turnaround speed.
Furthermore, the trailer’s rugged steel structure, anti‑corrosion paint, and premium hydraulic components deliver long service life; consequently, downtime and maintenance expenses stay low. Because of this, logistics companies and container yard operators worldwide rely on ZW Group’s side lifter to streamline intermodal transfers, therefore achieving faster ROI and superior customer satisfaction.
Finally, comprehensive after‑sales support—covering spare‑parts supply, online training, and on‑site commissioning—ensures uninterrupted performance throughout the trailer’s lifespan. Altogether, these advantages make the 3‑axle side loader trailer the smart choice for efficient, independent, and safe container handling.
