Unloading / Loading
At the beginning of intralogistics, the material receipt process often starts, which is crucial for the smooth operation of the entire warehouse. Goods on pallets are unloaded using forklifts or pallet trucks, which is a safe and fast method of transport. For loose loaded goods, the unloading process can take longer, but conveyors can significantly speed up this process.
For delivery vans, shorter extendable modules (belt or roller conveyors) are used, while for trucks and containers, telescopic conveyors with a length of 4 to 16 meters are ideal, which allow the unloading of 800 to 1,200 pieces per hour. Such efficient solutions ensure a fast loading and unloading process, save time, and increase productivity.

FAQs
A telescopic conveyor speeds up and simplifies the manual unloading and loading of individual items from trucks and containers. Its extendable section reaches directly into the vehicle’s cargo area, so operators do not have to carry goods over long distances and can work in a safer position. The length adapts to the depth of the vehicle and ranges approximately from 4 to 16 metres depending on the specific design. The conveyor usually connects to other warehouse technology.
A belt unloading module is suitable for varied individual consignments, parcels and softer packaging because it transports them on a continuous belt. A roller module is suitable where the goods have a firm, flat base, typically cartons and crates, and uses driven rollers. Both types are shorter extendable modules intended mainly for vans and smaller vehicles. The choice depends on the type and dimensions of the goods and on how the solution needs to connect to the rest of the line.
Depending on the specific design, a telescopic solution for unloading trucks and containers can handle approximately 800 to 1,200 items per hour. Actual throughput always depends on the type and weight of the goods, the number of operators and the downstream warehouse technology. We therefore design the capacity according to the specific operation and required performance so that unloading does not become a bottleneck in the material flow.
Automated unloading and loading is suitable for operations with high volumes of goods receiving and dispatch, where manual handling causes delays and places a burden on operators. Typical examples include distribution centres, e-commerce warehouses and parcel depots. The solution makes sense wherever trucks or containers are unloaded regularly and vehicle turnaround time needs to be reduced. We assess the suitability and type of equipment according to your operation and product mix.
Yes, we design unloading and loading conveyors to connect to the existing technology and warehouse control system. The extendable conveyor usually transfers goods to downstream conveyors and then on to sorting. As a Czech manufacturer and integrator, we handle design, production, installation and service, so the equipment is adapted to the dimensions of the hall, ramp heights and the required capacity of the specific operation.
