joloda – keeping eurofit’s tyres moving

Eurofit is focused on delivering quality craftsmanship and expert service for the world’s biggest and most well-known automotive brands. 

Manufacturing is at the heart of Eurofit’s operation with automation fundamental to ensuring they deliver safe, efficient and innovative products to their clients. Eurofit approached Joloda to explore options for a loading system that would enable goods to be moved from the manufacturing plant to transportation vehicles.

For Eurofit, our Automatic Trailer Loading Systems ticked every box. In particular, our Moving Floor Conveyor System, as this system is designed to move a variety of goods including crate-based, palletised and non-palletised, making it ideal for the movement of uniquely shaped cargo such as tyres. It is a heavy-duty, flexible slat conveyor belt system, that allows Eurofit to use both production line conveyors and forklifts to place its tyres and wheels onto the belt, ready for movement.

Eurofit specifically required an automated system that would reduce their reliance on human intervention whilst offering greater safety features when the system did need to be manned. 

A Joloda Hydraroll moving floor system is best suited for a high volume logistics shuttle case with a small fleet of dedicated trailers.

Choosing a slatted moving floor delivers:

• 100% end of line automation and thus a de-manned operation
• Loading or unloading in under 2 minutes, any load consisting of:
  • Pallets of any size, stillages, paper reels, loose parcels or any other non-palletised loads
• Minimised product damages due to automation
• 100% safety during high volume (routine) loading and unloading processes

Following the successful installation of the first Joloda Automatic Trailer Loading system in Eurofit’s factory in South Germany in 2020, Joloda was instantaneously asked to deliver a further two systems in Spain, with more in the pipeline including: 

• South Germany - Trailerskate loading dock shuttle: enabling manual unloading with a fork-lift truck from the side. This was adapted with a special hydraulic lift for sideways loading of the trailerskate dock
  
  
• Zaragoza Spain - Moving Floor Loading dock shuttle: supporting the movement of TWAs (tire and wheel assemblies) and 360degree MF trailer systems
  
  
• Palencia Spain - Moving Floor Loading dock shuttle: helping move TWAs (tire and wheel assemblies) along with 3 Moving Floor systems: offering 180degree movement and loading
