This Baumann HX is a used sideloader — sometimes referred to as a side-loading forklift — a type of industrial lift truck designed to carry long, bulky loads such as timber, steel bar, pipes, and sheet material by cradling them alongside the machine rather than in front of it. This configuration allows the truck to travel in a straight line through narrow aisles without the need to turn the load, making sideloaders a common choice in timber yards, steel stockholders, and warehousing operations where long goods must be handled efficiently in confined spaces. Baumann is a well-regarded specialist manufacturer of sideloaders, with decades of experience producing machines built specifically for demanding long-load applications across a range of industries.
This example is offered in used condition and is located in Belgium. It has accumulated 12,100 operating hours and has been fitted with new tyres. A fork positioner is included, allowing the forks to be adjusted without the operator leaving the cab — a practical feature when handling loads of varying widths.
The machine has a maximum rated lifting capacity of 5,000 kg and a lift height of 4.5 metres, making it well suited to high-bay storage and heavy long-load handling. Details regarding the braking system and suspension are not specified in the available information.
