Before the Trailerskate system, the trucks in the shuttle were loaded by forklifts which takes around 20 minutes per trailer, now they can load in just 2 minutes.
Each load is 30 tonnes. 26 pallets of heavy cans load quickly and easily into the truck and then offloaded at the National Distribution Centre using the automatic Trailerskate offloading.
With long skates to perform the loading and unloading, there is no technology in the trailer except for four simple tracks on the floor.
The Trailerskate system is fitted with 4, 13.6 metre-long skates. When the full 26 pallets are accumulated on the dock, the skates are then elevated by an airbag system located within the skate. The skates are then driven into the trailer by a drive chain. The trailers are fitted with 4 simple steel tracks which the skates run on.
Once the full load is in the trailer the air is extracted out of the skates and the load is then placed onto the trailer deck. The skates are then withdrawn onto the dock awaiting the next load.
A Joloda Hydraroll Trailerskate system is best suited for a high volume logistics shuttle case with a larger fleet of trailers.
