The shuttle distance between the factory and the Cannock warehouse is a 140-mile round trip. The Cannock site has a capacity of 100,00 pallets and needed a quick and efficient way of unloading the trucks.
20 trailers were fitted with Trailerskate track as part of the loading solution and Trailerskate docking systems were installed at the Cannock facility to unload the trailers.
This system can unload up to 30 tonnes/26 pallets from the tracked trailers in 3 minutes. The skates on the dock are elevated by an airbag system located within the skate, and 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 out of the trailer the air is extracted out of the skates, the load is then lowered onto the dock ready to be moved further inside the warehouse.
A Joloda Hydraroll Trailerskate system is best suited for a high volume logistics shuttle case with a larger fleet of trailers.
