Building longevity into our forklifts to reduce their carbon footprint.
Sidetracker Engineering take a sustainable approach to manufacturing, designing robust products that stand the test of time. Older forklift models are supported indefinitely allowing customers to extract maximum return from their initial forklift investment.
Where other forklift brands have a limited working life before needing to be replaced, Sidetracker forklifts are designed to be fully reconditioned. The life of a Side Loader extends beyond the first owner as Sidetracker upgrade parts to the latest technologies when required. Not only does this sustainable manufacturing practice save money for customers, but it also reduces the forklift’s carbon footprint.
Resources required for the heavy and expensive structural components are significantly reduced over the course of a Sidetracker forklift’s working life. Forklift parts are repaired and reconditioned, with waste materials recycled to further reduce environmental impact.
One Side Loader forklift tackles almost every handling requirement:
- Long loads up to 18 metres wide
- Lift up to 8,000kg
- Reach up to 13 metres
- Narrow aisles 900mm + load
- 360° manoeuvrability
- Guided or free roaming.
Built with busy warehouses in mind:
- No pollution (battery-powered)
- Common parts
- Seated or stand on
- Dimensions fit loads and racking
- Wheel and tyre options for different surfaces.

Handling Challenges
A strong customer focus ensures every Sidetracker forklift is built with the care it takes to stand the test of time. We work closely with long-standing customers to continually develop our side loader forklifts. As a result, our forklifts are able to keep pace with customer material handling challenges.
Sidetracker customers benefit from forward-thinking handling solutions, saving money with refurbished spare parts and rebuilt trucks. Sidetracker’s sustainable manufacturing practices help customers to reduce the carbon footprint of their own supply chain.
Our efforts have delivered a significant reduction our carbon footprint and our reliance on fossil fuels. Sustainably keeping our costs down allows us to provide better value for our customers.
