Abstract: The invention relates to a portable side-loader system which is built as a kit and can be retrofitted on to any container. The adjustable side loader may be detached from a fixed position and moved along the container as it fills up. The side-loader includes an integral bucket which may be activated to dump debris into the container. The side loader kit is a standalone system with its own hydraulics and 12 volt battery with an on board charging system. A control box holds the electrical components including the switches that activate and control the hydraulic system.
