Truck Loading / Unloading

Automated truck loading and unloading systems greatly reduce the time and labour required to load and unload trucks. Truck loading times are reduced from half an hour to just minutes. Automated truck loading systems remove the need for forklifts on the loading docks. This increases the safety levels, reduces accidents and eliminates damage to product.

The investment, ongoing maintenance costs and labour costs of running a fleet of forklifts can be significantly reduced or eliminated. Complete plant automation can be achieved when automated truck loading systems are used in conjunction with robotic palletising systems, conveyor systems and pallet stretch wrapping machines.

Telescopic Belt Conveyors

Seehan’s telescopic belt conveyors provide convenient loading and unloading with safe, reliable and efficient operation. The overall construction is ergonomic in design which greatly reduces the labour intensity of operators, significantly improves the efficiency of loading and unloading to save time, labour and money.

Through the control push buttons or operating lever, the telescopic belt conveyor can be easily controlled to tilt up and down to adapt to the vehicle height and freely extend and retract to reach the loading and unloading position. It is especially suitable for handling cartons, woven bags, parcels, luggage, tires, plastic totes, boxes and other goods with a flat bottom.

Features:

Energy saving
The unique construction and design greatly reduce the required motor power.
Ingenious power supply design significantly reduces power requirements and cable usage.
Under the same load, it can save up to 60% more power compared with traditional models.
 
High level of safety
The front and tail ends of the telescopic belt conveyor are equipped with emergency stop buttons to easily respond to emergencies.
All transmission parts have safety protection, rubber brushes and rubber covers to eliminate pinch points.
The front end of the telescopic belt conveyor is equipped with mechanical and photoelectric anti-collision devices.
 
High efficiency
The conveying speed is up to 120m/min, which is about 40% faster than similar products.
High speed transportation can save space while significantly improving efficiency.
With a load rating of 80 kg/metre on all telescopic belt conveyor models, efficient transportation can save working hours and reduce the number of staff.
 
Extremely easy to use
Optional tilt adjustment to accurately adjust the angle of the arm according to the height of the goods to provide labour saving unloading operation.  Two hydraulic cylinders are used to adjust the height of the front frame of the telescopic belt conveyor so that the front end can be raised and lowered to achieve the optimal operating height.  Complete safety measures ensure that the telescopic belt conveyor does not fall if the hydraulic unit fails.
An operator cage mounted on the front of the telescopic belt conveyor can be used for staff to stand on to allow them to reach high products which can effectively reduce the impact of loading and unloading (especially suitable for fruits and fragile products…).
The telescopic belt conveyor can be installed on rails to provide lateral movement.  The telescopic belt conveyor can easily be transversely moved with a push button providing multi-door loading and unloading or moved clear to make way for forklifts.

Automatic Truck Loading / Unloading Systems

ATLS is a system that can accelerate your loading / unloading process. It requires the combination of two systems: one system in the trailer and a fixed installation inside the loading and unloading dock. A semi trailer can be fully loaded within a few minutes after the press of a button.

Benefits of ATLS

  • Reduced working time because trailers can be loaded or unloaded in a few minutes.
  • Fewer logistics personnel due to automation of the loading and unloading process.
  • Fewer forklift trucks and associated equipment due to automation of the loading and unloading process.
  • Fewer loading and unloading docks because each dock can handle higher volumes.
  • Reduced damage to goods and equipment due to a controlled loading and unloading process.
  • Safer working environment for personnel.

SLAT CONVEYOR SYSTEM

It consists of aluminium slats or steel slats. Chain and slat guide supported by wear resistant plastic

profiles.

It suits for different kind of loads with various dimensions.

It is easy to install in the trailer due to the low height (min. 135mm) and light weight.

Applications: auto industry (tyres); consumer goods (paper roll), industrial (special pallets, containers with wheels).

 

CHAIN CONVEYOR SYSTEM

It is driven through chain and is ideal for standard pallets.

The length of chain conveyor system can be up to 14m with a maximum load of 30T.

It can be conveniently mounted in existing or new trailers without the need for major bodywork or modifications.

It is perfect for dry freight trailers as well as refrigerated and deep freeze trailers.

 

BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEM

Belts are clean and free from grease.

The belt is sealed and suitable for various item dimensions from small envelopes to middle sized cartons.

Unloading of a truck can be completed within 15 minutes with efficiency improvements of up to 200%.

Applications: courier and mail service (envelopes, parcels and items of different sizes and types.)

 

ROLLER TRACK SYSTEM

Zinc-plated steel rollers mounted on extruded aluminium frames and enclosed with a steel top plate.

When in use, the rollers are raised pneumatically to lift the pallets. The pallets are moved manually or by hydraulic wheel drives.

When not in use, the steel rollers are retracted into the section which has the advantage that the work floor or cargo floor can be driven over with a forklift or hand pallet truck.

It can also be incorporated into elevators, which make it much easier to load and unload trailers with varying floor heights.

Applications: air freight, air pallets, ULD’s and containers.

 

SKATE CONVEYOR SYSTEM

The main function is to automatically load and unload a complete load in one go. However, the pallets are first configured to create a compact unit ready for handling.

No automatic loading/unloading systems are required in the trailer, so no extra investments needed.

The skate system is a fixed system required to be installed at a fixed location for the loading / unloading platform.

Ancra’s skate system allows 33 pallets to be loaded / unloaded in a process that is completed in six minutes.

Applications: palletised goods.
