Shipping Container Unloading – The problem with having to unload shipping containers full of stock, is that its a very labour intensive task. Also, depending on the setup of your premises, you may not have a raised dock to offload from. This means that you will need to offload from a shipping container from ground level, when the floor of the container is around 1.2+ meters from ground level. This poses a problem, a problem that the right telescopic conveyor can solve.
A gravity roller conveyor solution for unloading vehicles is a very cost effective way to remove as much manual handling as possible, without having to invest in complex powered conveyor systems. You may only be unloading 2-3 containers a day, so the problem of inefficient unloading needs to be solved, but it doesn’t justify a huge capital outlay. A high rise telescopic gravity roller conveyor is most likely to be the best way to solve your problems. Have a look at the video on our YouTube channel (link below), which shows the high rise telescopic gravity conveyor in action. There is also the option of adding on a flexible roller conveyor, this is also shown in the video and will enable operators to change the direction of the products as they travel down from the container.
