UNSPSC 24101663: Side loader

The hydraulic arm that lifts the waste container operates from the side. The arm varies in lifting capacity but can lift as much as 1,600 pounds in higher-end models.

UNSPSC 24101663 Side loader is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure compact equipment for specialized material handling and ground preparation — specifically skid steer loaders with side-loading or multipurpose attachment capability, track and wheeled variants, and related compact loaders designed for confined-space operations, small-scale construction tasks, grounds maintenance, and municipal fleet support. The recent solicitations show county and city procurement bodies acquiring these units for fleet divisions, public works departments, parks and grounds maintenance, and emergency services, with emphasis on new equipment specifications, operator training, warranty coverage, and service availability within the jurisdiction. Hillsborough County, the City of Wichita, Beaufort County, and the City of San Angelo together account for multiple recent opportunities under this code, indicating steady demand among mid-to-large municipalities and county governments across different regions.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Kansas, Texas, and New Hampshire.
