(54) Side lift intended for handling of ISO containers


(57) The invention concerns a side lift intended for handling of ISO containers. The side lift (10) is provided with grasping members (11), by whose means an ISO container (1) is grasped from either one of the long sides of the container (1) from the fastening points formed on the container, and the side lift (10) has been mounted at the end of the boom (3) or equivalent of a work machine (2). The invention is characterized in that the side lift (10) has been mounted on a rotation device (14) suspended at the end of a boom (3) or equivalent so that, by means of said rotation device (14), the side lift (10) and the ISO container (1) attached to said side lift can be rotated substantially freely around a substantially vertical axis (R) of rotation.
