What are automatic truck loading and unloading systems, or ATLS?
Automatic truck loading and unloading always requires two ‘combined’ systems: one system in the trailer and a ‘fixed’ installation inside the loading and unloading dock. When a trailer docks the entire load is loaded or unloaded automatically. Click on the animated video to see how the concept works.
Benefits of automatic loading and unloading systems
The most commonly used truck loading and unloading systems are for shuttle services between production facilities and distribution centres. Truck loading and unloading times are reduced from half an hour to a matter of minutes. Return on investment times are short due to the immediate savings compared to traditional loading and unloading (using fork-lift or hand pallets trucks).
- Fewer logistics personnel due to automation of the loading and unloading process;
- Fewer fork-lift trucks and associated equipment due to mechanisation of the loading and unloading process;
- Fewer loading and unloading docks because each dock can handle higher volumes;
- Fewer trucks, trailers and drivers due to increased fleet utilisation;
- Less warehouse space due to more concentrated flow of goods;
- Less buffer stock due to quicker inbound and outbound transportation of goods;
- Less space outside due to quicker turnaround times of trailers;
- Reduced damage of goods and equipment due to a controlled loading and unloading process;
- Safer working environment for personnel.
