When to Choose Loading Conveyors

Ideal for frequent bay turns where throughput, ergonomics and safety matter—retail distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and FMCG where manual carry distance must be minimised.

Options & Integrations

Powered in/out feed, gravity roller sections, height/tilt adjust, side guides, brake rollers, photo-eyes, start/stop at the bay, and PLC links to upstream lines or WMS signals.

Typical Applications

Container and trailer loading/unloading, cross-dock operations, returns processing, and bridging between warehouse lines and the vehicle deck.

FAQs about the Vehicle Loading Conveyors

Quick answers on powered vs gravity, container fit, gradients, safety, maintenance and when to choose telescopic or flexible options.

Should I choose powered or gravity for vehicle loading?

Use powered for controlled speed, higher throughput and longer pushes; choose gravity for short runs, simple layouts and lower cost.

Do these conveyors fit both 20 ft and 40 ft containers?

Yes—systems are sized for standard containers and trailers, with adjustable height/length options to suit dock and vehicle geometry.

When is a telescopic unit the better choice?

If you need to reach deep into containers with minimal manual handling, a telescopic boom conveyor is optimal for speed and ergonomics.

Can flexible conveyors be used at the bay?

Yes—for pop-up or variable setups. For sustained loading/unloading, powered or telescopic solutions usually deliver higher throughput.

What gradient do gravity sections need?

Typically 2–5% depending on product weight and base. We confirm slope during design or site trials.

What safety features are available?

E-stops, guarded pinch points, start/stop at the bay, beacons/sounders, emergency retract, safe cabling, and compliant guarding to CE standards.

How do these conveyors integrate with existing lines?

Via matched heights, transition plates, photo-eye handshakes and PLC I/O. We can link to WMS/MES signals to pace loading.

What products can they handle?

Cartons, totes, sacks and crate loads. For loose or irregular items, we specify roller type, pitch and guides accordingly.

What maintenance is required?

Routine checks on rollers/belts, bearings, drives and controls; clean debris, verify brakes and safety circuits. Components are chosen for easy access.

What are typical lead times?

Lead time depends on configuration (powered/telescopic vs gravity). We’ll confirm current timelines at quotation.
