Truck standing at the dock
Unloading by hand ties up vehicle, driver and crew. Every hour of an occupied dock is turnover that does not happen.
Industry · Logistics and distribution
Loading, unloading and handling at a distribution center
In logistics the bottleneck has an address: the dock. Manual truck loading and unloading is the point that holds up turnover, uses up the crew and leads to sick leave. Mobile yard equipment and an internal line solve that stretch.
- Mobile conveyor that goes into the trailer
- Continuous conveying from the dock to picking
- Fewer people carrying packages by hand

What holds the operation back
The problems that show up in this industry
Before talking about machines, it is worth looking at where the process loses time, material and people.
Team carrying weight
Repetitive manual handling of boxes and bags leads to sick leave and staff turnover, which cost more than the equipment.
Layout with curves and level changes
A real warehouse has columns, curves and level changes. Articulated equipment follows the available path.
Disorganized internal handling
Improvised carts and loose transport between areas cause damage and loss of traceability.

Industry questions
Questions that come up before buying
Yes. The line includes yard equipment designed for loading and unloading, movable between docks instead of fixed at a single point.
The articulated line was made for paths with curves and level changes, which avoids construction work to adapt the warehouse to the equipment.
The gain depends on the volume per dock, the number of operators and the hourly cost of your operation. The website has a payback calculator where you enter your numbers and see the estimate, with the assumptions in plain sight.
