System reduces handling with forklifts
December 1st 2005 Enhancing efficiency and reducing handling needs, Coors Brewers uses Joloda's Hydraroll Slip Chain System for unloading and transferring pallets of empty cans.
The Hydraroll Slip Chain System uses pneumatically activated rise and fall chain and roller track for high speed accumulation and loading of full pallet loads for factory to warehouse short shuttle operations. The integral powered loading dock/trailer combination allows the flexibility to load/ unload a variety of palletised goods in a speedy efficient manner with minimum vehicle 'downtime'.
Coors has tailored the Hydraroll Skip Chain System to unload pallets from a live bed lorry and transport them directly on to a conveyor system that feeds the can depalletiser. The system is also used to load dunnage on to a live bed lorry and return it to the supplier.
"The Joloda system reduces the amount of handling via forklift, therefore reducing the possibility of damage and waste materials," said Martin Cumpstone of Coors Brewers. More articles from Joloda International: |
