Efficient loading and unloading

Well-organized loading and unloading is key to an efficeint logistic process.

Increasing online shopping is fundamentally changing the requirements on logistic centres.  Loading and unloading of trucks or unloading containers needs to be speedy and efficient, managing cartons of varying sizes and weights. The same thing is true for warehouse order picking and palletizing. Today’s consumers expect quick delivery, putting high demands on efficient order picking, loading and unloading.

Well-organized loading and unloading of containers or trucks is key to an efficient logistic process. Manually loading or unloading containers is time-consuming and strenuous work with a high risk of injury. The loading or unloading process involves lifting parcels from above shoulder height and twisting when lifting, which is hazardous work. The good news is that when equipped with proper lifting aids, workers can save their strength, avoid injury, and speed up work, effectively saving time and money.

TAWI has developed a new mobile vacuum lifter with an articulating arm that gives optimal reach in pallet racks or warehouse shelves and allows the operator to quickly and safely lift all types of parcels, bags or other packaged goods quickly and safely. A selection of innovative suction feet ensures ergonomic and efficient operations, enabling operators to pick up goods from multiple angles.
