Make field service more proactive

We’ve created a way to avoid large volume pallet shuttle operations, reduce the volume of pressure on pallet loading and unloading processes, and help your business to speed up distribution.

Using one of our automated loading systems will lighten the load and make your loading and unloading operations much more efficient. Automatic truck loading, coupled with the connection of the loading system and automatic palletisers, will allow you to achieve 100% end-of-line automation. In the warehouse, you can connect the automated unloading system to automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or conveyors to feed an AS/RS system. This means high-volume FMCG pallet flows can be automated completely.

We have three main automated loading systems that will make pallet loading onto trailers much easier.

When it comes to the pallet loading in the FMCG industry, the Trailerskate is our star automated loading system. Many businesses in the industry use it and have seen it boost their efficiency. You don’t have to be operating in FMCGs to harness the benefits of the Trailerskate, though. Businesses in other areas have all turned to the Trailerskate to help them operate more quickly and more safely, and increase their output.

The Trailerskate is simple but effective. It features four tracks on the floor, and the Riserplate system skates perform all the pallet loading and unloading. The ‘lift’ comes from the tracks underneath. Thanks to this highly efficient, highly safe system, you can load or unload 32 euro pallets or 26 industrial/block pallets, or a mixture of both, in as little as four minutes, and do so safely.

The Slipchain comprises a robust rise and fall chain with a rollertrack system for the trailer and dock to make pallet loading a breeze. The system’s modular design makes it easy to incorporate into any building or trailer. You can connect it directly to your production line conveyor, or use forklift trucks or AGVs to place your load onto the system. It’s completely automated, allowing you to conduct pallet loading safely and swiftly.
