Frequently asked questions
What makes the Side system different?
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.
How does the remote control work?
The in-shell hydraulic unit runs on mains power; the cab transmitter lifts and opens the cover while preventing unintended activation of nearby islands.
Where can I get SD1/SD2 dimension tables?
Project data is not published online: request documentation at info@bunder.it.
How can I get the technical datasheet or brochure?
Up-to-date datasheets, brochures and design data are not available for download on this site. Contact Bunder Company via the contact page or email info@bunder.it; the Bunder Waste team will send the documentation for this product and your specification.
