A sideloader as well as a lifting device suitable for such a sideloader

A sideloader comprises a chassis and at least two spaced-apart lifting devices (3) for moving a load present in a first position between the lifting devices on the chassis to a second position beside a first side of the chassis and to a third position beside a second side of the chassis spaced from the first side, and vice versa. At least one lifting device comprises a frame (4), a first pivot arm (5) and a second pivot arm (6). The first pivot arm is pivotally connected to the frame about a first pivot shaft (8) near a first end and which is pivotally connected to the second pivot arm about a second pivot shaft (10) near a second end remote from the first end. The first pivot shaft is located near the first side of the chassis. The lifting device is provided with locking means for locking the first pivot arm to the frame in a locked position near the second end. In the locked position the second pivot arm is pivotable about the second pivot shaft for moving the load from or to the third position
