Side Loading

What does Side Loading mean?

Side loading is the way by which goods are loaded and unloaded on/from a transport vehicle. With side loading, transported goods are not loaded and unloaded from the rear as usual, but from the side.

Side loading is often used when there is no loading ramp or when loading via the rear is not possible. In addition, side loading happens if it is difficulty to load bulky goods.
