Valart – other models: the collective page for semi-trailers outside the named ranges, from the SIDELOADER to the SL18, 10,500 to 12,920 kg kerb weight, 42,000 to 47,000 kg gross vehicle weight
This page gathers semi-trailers from the Valart brand that the register could not assign to a named series. The model name SIDELOADER shows that this is a container side-loading trailer able to load and unload containers on its own without a crane. The designations SL18, SY 4512042 and SY512204042 mark further versions of this design. Sideloaders of this kind are used mainly in combined transport, where a gantry crane is not available at the transshipment point.

The register lists five versions here with kerb weights from 10,500 to 12,920 kg and gross vehicle weights from 42,000 to 47,000 kg. Widths range from 2,500 to 2,550 mm, lengths reach up to 13,600 mm.
With gross weights close to the statutory limit for an articulated combination, these sideloader semi-trailers count among the heavy specialist units for container transport, common in combined road-rail freight. Their self-loading capability makes them attractive to hauliers who need to move containers flexibly without fixed terminal infrastructure.
When buying a used sideloader semi-trailer, the condition of the lifting arms and hydraulic cylinders, the function of the container-locking mechanisms, and the chassis, axles and braking system including ABS/EBS all deserve close attention. Spare parts for hydraulics and brakes are available through the specialist commercial vehicle parts trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
