Company unveils automated loading and unloading system for warehouses
Engineering360 News Desk | June 30, 2020Industrial automation company Trapo has unveiled an automated system for loading and unloading trucks and containers.
The Trapo Loading System (TLS) autonomously navigates the space between the warehouse and the loading ramp, unloading and loading pallets.
The TLS is 4.3 m long, 1.3 m high and can carry up to 3.6 tons per load. According to the company, the system can be used to fill a 13 m trailer with around 33 pallets in roughly 15 minutes. Additionally, many TLSs can operate at once.
“As a partner for industrial automation, we develop overall line concepts to anticipate the needs in intralogistics. The TLS closes a security gap and increases efficiency,” explained Dr. Stefan Kurtenbach, technical manager construction/R&D at Trapo.
