Slipchain
Vehicle Mounted
The Rollerbed
Systems slipchain vehicle loading system can load/off load 60,000 lbs of palletized
freight in a 53 foot trailer in under 90 seconds. The system is
non intrusive and does not reduce the internal carrying capacity of the
vehicle. A more rapid turn around of the vehicle offers much better
fleet utilization, the same amount of work can be achieved with fewer
vehicles. A major benefit of automated vehicle loading is the reduction in
product damage normally caused by manual pallet handling.
The personal
safety of the people who would normally be associated with the loading is
assured because the slipchain system eliminates the need for fork lift
trucks or hand pallet trucks to enter the vehicle. Personal injuries
can be eliminated by using the Rollerbed Systems automated vehicle loading
design.
The
pallets are carried on four rows of pneumatically raised rollers that
support the full weight of the load and two endless chains to move the
pallets in and out of the vehicle. The flat horizontal chain bears up
against the underside of the pallets to move them within the vehicle. Control of
the operation can be by a hand held push button pendant or can be fully
integrated into a PLC controlled warehouse management scheme. The system can
be installed by Rollerbed Systems staff or a competent body builder.
We deliver the complete kit with full installation instructions to any part
of the country and we or our agents can be present for testing. The
installation
of the Rollerbed System slipchain system does not require any special
modification to the trailer before hand, most stock trailers can be
converted with minor modification that can be carried out at the time
of system installation.
