A lift truck with mast structure or fork arm carriage which can be extended and retracted between the axles and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the truck, allowing it to pick up and raise a load in a counterbalanced position in relation to one side of the truck and stack or unstack alongside the truck.

The sideloader travels forward down a storage aisle with the forks facing perpendicular to the racks. This allows the truck to stop in front of a rack location and to position loads directly into and out of the rack structure. ... The chief advantage of the sideloader is that extremely long loads, such as steel pipe and lumber, can be carried without any danger of spilling the load. 6, record 1, English, - side%2Dloading%20truck

Nous avons préféré le verbe "désempiler" plutôt que "dépiler", en dépit de l'usage de "dépileur de barquettes" relevé dans le périodique français "Cartonnages et Emballages Modernes" (no 535, p. 10). En effet les dictionnaires ne reconnaissent pas "dépiler" et "dépileur" tandis que Le Grand Robert, pour sa part, atteste "désempiler". 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9sempiler

To describe operators and actions, we first have to give them names. In what follows, we use the ternary function symbol M to designate the move operator, we use the binary function symbol U to designate the unstack operator, we use the binary function symbol S to designate the stack operator, and we use the constant Noop to designate the null action. With this vocabulary, we can name individual actions. For example, the term M(C, A, B) designates the action of moving block c from a to b. We call terms of this form action designators. 1, record 3, English, - action%20designator
