SPONSOR | TIMBER INNOVATION
Baumann Sideloaders
Renowned for their ability to transport long and bulky timber loads with precision, Baumann combines durability, safety, and efficiency in a package uniquely suited to the timber industry. The recently launched EXL series exemplifies this
B
ethos. Compact yet capable, the EXL offers a five-tonne capacity within a total length of just 4,200mm and a platform height of 750mm. This allows timber operators to manoeuvre in tight yards and warehouses without compromising load handling. Available with 1,200mm or 1,400mm wide decks, the EXL balances robust lifting performance with agile mobility, making it ideal for operations where space and efficiency are at a premium.
Under the hood, the EXL features a powerful 120-volt
system paired with a 120V/700Ah high-capacity battery, enabling sustained operation across demanding shifts. An innovative X-Plus feature adds 150mm of outreach, allowing operators to position loads precisely while keeping the chassis safely away from lorry beds or other machinery, reducing the risk of damage. Additionally, swappable battery options support multi-shift operations, keeping downtime to a minimum. Operator comfort is a central focus of the EXL. The spacious Comfort Deluxe cabin includes an air-suspended seat, heating and defrost systems, LED mast-mounted lighting, and four-wheel braking. Controls are intuitive, reducing fatigue during long shifts, while excellent visibility and ergonomic design enhance safety.

Baumann’s commitment to safety is further demonstrated through the SafeLoad Assistance Active+ system, now available across all EGX, GX, and EXL models. This advanced platform continuously monitors load weight, mast height, outreach, and centre of gravity, proactively intervening if conditions approach unsafe limits. Active+ is independently certified to Performance Level D (PL d) under ISO 13849, making it one of the most robust safety systems available for sideloaders. Beyond the machines themselves, Baumann has
invested heavily in production and service integration. Recent expansions include automated storage, pre-assembly lines, and a dedicated cabin manufacturing facility, ensuring high-quality builds and rapid service turnaround. This infrastructure supports the company’s commitment to long-term durability, reliability, and customer support. For timber businesses, Baumann sideloaders represent more than just equipment, they offer a combination of precision, productivity, and peace of mind. Compact, electric, and engineered to last, these sideloaders are designed to move timber efficiently, safely, and sustainably, helping operators meet the demands of a modern, high-performance industry.■
