Overcoming Common Challenges When Using Side Loaders At Elevated Heights

Maximum lifting capacity of a 10-ton side loader at 6m height revealed!
Unlock the potential of your equipment with our expert insights.




 
 What’s the maximum lifting height of a side loader truck?
The maximum lifting height of a side loader truck typically depends on the mast type and manufacturer, but:
usually, Standard lifting height: 3000mm or 3600mm ( standard 2 stage mast),



The Customized lifting height: can up to 6500mm  (3-stage masts),
Regarding to lift up to 6500mm lifting height,
our FLIFT side loader series from 3-12ton all could meet completely, suitable for stacking in high-bay storage.




 
What’s the maximum capacity of a side loader lift?

This depends on the different tonnage.Typical load capacity range as below:
Light-duty series side laoder: 3–5 tons,
Medium-duty series side loader : 6–8 tons,
Heavy-duty series side loader : 10–12tons

The 10-12ton side loader truckis commonly used in steel plants, lumber yards, and ports to move long or oversized loads, as well as some concrete pile factory.
In Australia market, many construction  and concrete pile companies purchse a large number of 10-12t diesel side loader truck from our FLFIT forklift each year.
Some of these comanies also requested us to equip with the customzied spreader beam or telescopic boom on the side loader truck.
See the details as below:





What’s the maximum lifting capacity of a 10-ton side loader at 6m height?
This depends on the load center, mast design, and whether the truck has a telescopic boom.

Here's a precise data for the different load cacpacity:
In general, Most 10T side loaders are rated for 10,000 kg, can lifing the 10t goods up to the standard 3600mm height at 600mm load center.
At 6 meters, the residual capacity is often reduced due to mast extension and leverage.
lifting capacity at 6m: Around 6,000–6,550 kg at 600mm load center.
If equipped with a telescopic beam, it may be 6,000–6,250 kg, depending on extension length and load distribution.

For example, our FLIFT 10T side loader might lift 6,600 kg at 6m height, with a strong 3-stage mast and reinforced chassis.
If equip with the telescopic boom can reach 6000kg capacity at the 6m height.
