Safe & Efficient Loading for High-Value, Sensitive Air Cargo

the challenge

Jan Tromp Transport Group faced the challenge of transporting high-value, sensitive air cargo containers for one of the leading semiconductor manufacturers, ASML, from their factory to airports.

Given the delicate nature and high value of the semiconductor equipment, automated loading was essential to ensure the safe and controlled movement of air cargo containers whilst being loaded and unloaded from the trailer.

Their challenge was to find a solution that would allow for efficient loading and unloading of air cargo while maintaining the safety and integrity of the sensitive machines during transit.

product features

Joloda Hydraroll's Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers (MRS-PCR) is the ideal solution for businesses operating Road Feeder Services (RFS).

  • Modularity - The system's modular design allows it to be easily installed and removed without the need for extensive modifications, enabling businesses to retain build integrity and compliance certifications.

  • Slimline Design - The system's low-profile design (with a height of only 70mm) can be retrofitted into any standard trailer, meaning it can load and transport most varieties of air cargo.

  • Safety Enhancements - Powered loading eliminates reliance on physical pushing/pulling, which reduces the risk of operators injuring themselves and heavier loads to be loaded safely.

  • Pneumatic Operation - The system pneumatically lifts loads onto rollers and enables loading and unloading without the use of forklifts.

  • Handling Oversized Loads - Even when handling oversized cargo such as aerospace engines, boosting operational productivity.

a safety first solution

The Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Roller System prioritises safety in several aspects, offering enhanced protection for both operators and the cargo being transported.

No Pushing

Firstly, the powered nature of the system eliminates the reliance on physical pushing from employees. This means that operators no longer need to exert physical force to load or unload cargo manually, reducing the risk of strains, injuries, and musculoskeletal issues caused by repetitive manual labour.

Controlled Loading

Secondly, by providing a powered solution, the system ensures that cargo is loaded and unloaded in a controlled manner, reducing the chances of mishaps, or damage caused by uncontrolled movements. Also, the system prevents operators from misusing the system meaning the loading process is conducted safely.

No Trapping or Tripping

Finally, operators do not need to enter the truck during the loading and unloading process, which eliminates the risk of operators from being in front of the pallet, which prevents accidents, trip hazards, falls, or being struck by moving cargo.

benefits of implementation

The implementation of the Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers (MRS-PCR) provided Tromp with numerous tangible benefits:

  • Increased Efficiency - Semi-automated loading and unloading processes have significantly reduced turnaround times, leading to improved operational efficiency. The system can load a 13.6m trailer in just 90 seconds

  • Enhanced Safety - The Powered Cargo Rollers mean that loading is controlled, which reduces the risk of operators injuring themselves or cargo being damaged.

  • Improved Productivity - Faster and more efficient air cargo has enabled them to increase productivity and meet customer demands more effectively.

  • Flexibility and Cost Savings – As the MRS-PCR can be retrofitted into existing trailers, this provides flexibility and saves money by not having to invest in specialised trailers.
