Container Unloading Conveyors

Reduce manual hours of unloading containers by 50% for greater efficiency, safety, and employee satisfaction.

Our container unloading conveyor system revolutionizes inbound logistics by boosting efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving workplace safety. Designed for 20’ and 40’ ISO containers, it cuts manual labor by 50% while achieving case rates of up to 2,000 boxes per hour. Whether handling small parcels or heavy cartons, you can seamlessly integrate with downstream conveyors and auto palletizers, optimizing productivity for distribution centers, warehouses, and 3PL facilities. By reducing unload times and minimizing worker strain, it enhances throughput and cost savings for high-volume distribution and manufacturing operations.

Let us calculate your payback.

Container unloading conveyor overview:

  • Construction:

    • Compact design & heavy-duty construction – dimensions: 81” width x 83” height
    • Adjustable pivoting conveyor with side-to-side and tilt adjustments via handle controls to ergonomically position for any package location
    • Operator platform supports up to 550 lbs (250 kg)
    • Pressure sensing safety mat is weight-activated to ensure operator is properly positioned for operation
    • High-performance 24" belt handles loads up to 165 lbs (75 kg) on a 30° incline at speeds between 86-108 feet per minute (fpm)
    • Self-propelled drive system with DC drive and steering enables easy movement between docks
    • Two maintenance-free batteries with a 24VDC power source for control and travel motors
    • Power-saving mode has timeout feature to conserve energy
    • Hand-present sensor on rotary handle must be engaged for control operation
    • Emergency stop (E-Stop) buttons instantly halt all machine motion
    • LED light strips enhances visibility for workers, improving safety
  • Benefits:

    50% Reduction in Unloading Costs – cuts the number of man-hours needed to unload containers in half

    Faster Unloading Times – reduces unload times by up to 50% compared to manual methods

    Improves Dock Utilization

    Dock-to-Dock Mobility – designed for easy movement across multiple dock doors for optimized use and maximum ROI

    High Case Rate Efficiency – processes between 630 to 2,000 cases per hour, depending on box size and weight

    Optimized Workforce Utilization – fewer workers required per shift, allowing labor to be reallocated to value-added actions

    Increases Workplace Safety – reduces strain and injury risk by minimizing heavy lifting and repetitive motions

    Seamless Integration with Automation – can be connected to downstream conveyors and auto palletizers for even higher efficiency gains

  • Options:

    • Unloading & loading Variants – two models available, one for container unloading and the other with bi-directional loading and unloading capabilities
    • Flexible conveyor additions include fixed telescopic, cascading belt, and flexible powered conveyors
    • Front & rear area scanners detect obstacles or personnel, slowing or stopping the machine to prevent collisions
    • Safety guard rails protect workers from accidental falls while using the system
    • Extended width of operator platform to 33" (standard is 22")
