The Extendable Belt Conveyor is a telescoping conveyor that extends into the truck trailer as an ergonomic solution for loading and unloading. These conveyors are most commonly found in shipping and receiving areas, warehouses, and other locations where it is necessary to move packages and other items in and out of trucks and shipping containers.Extendable, telescoping conveyors can improve productivity and efficiency at the dock door.
Telescopic conveyor is the ideal solution
When your facility integrates one of our telescopic conveyors into its operations, you will enjoy numerous benefits, including:
Productivity: The Muxiang telescopic conveyor reduces loading and unloading time by decreasing the number of operators and the effort required in these processes. The Muxiang telescopic conveyor accomplishes this through easy extension and retraction, intuitive operator controls, optimal ergonomics and seamless integration with the existing permanent conveyor solution. This means tasks that would normally involve multiple operators, extended walking time, and inefficient picking and packing are now completed quickly and safely with just an operator or two — depending on package sizes. This results in faster turnaround and higher fulfillment rates.
Safety: With its ergonomic design, our telescopic boom conveyor is easier for employees to use safely. It cuts the risk of repetitive stress injuries as well as strains and other exertion injuries by placing the loading or unloading point at an ergonomically favorable point for the operator. This ultimately leads to lower costs and less downtime.
Less idle time: Without an extendable conveyor solution, much time is spent walking or forklifting packages and boxes from the permanent conveyor end to the dock (or vice versa), and additional time moving items to (or from) the innermost areas of the container. This additional handling time is considered idle time since it is not actively contributing to the completion of the process. An extendable conveyor eliminates this wasted time by bringing the conveyor right to the loading or unloading point within the trailer.
