We’re pleased to welcome two new boom conveyors to our Gateshead HQ: one fixed and one mobile. Their arrival marks an exciting step for North Automation Group, bringing new opportunities for demonstrations, customer visits and more.
Their arrival brings us closer to something we’ve been working towards for a while – a space where customers can see more of our equipment in person, watch it operating and talk through how it could work within their own facilities.
With setup, demonstrations and plenty of content creation ahead, this special edition is dedicated to our newest arrivals and what comes next.
Meet the New Arrivals
Both machines are telescopic boom conveyors, designed to extend into vehicles to support loading and unloading. By bringing the conveyor closer to the point where goods are being handled, they can help reduce the distance operators need to carry boxes.
Our mobile boom conveyor sits on a powered chassis, allowing it to be repositioned between loading areas. With a compacted length of 6 metres and a fully extended length of 18.6 metres, it combines substantial reach with the flexibility to move where it is needed.
Our fixed boom conveyor is designed for a dedicated loading position, secured to the warehouse floor. This arrangement can accommodate space for dock leveller access while allowing the conveyor to extend into the vehicle.
Having both types at our HQ will give us a useful opportunity to show the differences between fixed and mobile arrangements, and discuss which might suit a customer’s layout and operation.
See the Equipment in Person
Specifications and videos are useful, but seeing a conveyor in person can make it easier to understand its size, movement and day-to-day operation.
Once the machines are set up and ready, customers will be able to visit us in Gateshead to see them working and speak with the team. These visits will offer a chance to look more closely at the equipment, ask practical questions and discuss loading and unloading challenges.
Their arrival also opens up opportunities to explore potential rental options. We’ll share more as these plans develop, and welcome enquiries from businesses interested in discussing a short-term requirement.
From Arrival to Demonstration
Getting the machines inside our HQ is the first step. Next, we’ll be getting them positioned, set up and ready for demonstrations.
We’ll be capturing that process along the way, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how the demonstration space comes together.
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll also be filming demonstrations, closer looks at individual features and practical explanations from the team. Whether you’re planning a visit or following along online, there will be plenty of opportunities to get familiar with both machines.
Come and Take a Closer Look
We’re looking forward to putting the new arrivals to work and welcoming customers to see them.
If you’d like to arrange a visit once setup is complete, discuss a demonstration or enquire about potential rental opportunities, get in touch with the North Automation Group team.
