Frequently asked questions

It is Sounete’s most versatile line: besides 2,400 and 3,200 L side loaders (SD1/SD2) it can handle rear loaders and crane containers if your fleet is mixed or changing.

The in-shell hydraulic unit runs on mains power; the cab transmitter lifts and opens the cover while preventing unintended activation of nearby islands.
