unmodified trailer loading solutions

Any business with a high outbound flow of materials from their factory/warehouse.

Clients loading palletised or non-palletised industrial goods, and complex or long cargo.

The Actiw LoadMatic is a fully-automated loading system for regular, non-modified trucks and containers.

Ideal for when you transport both palletised and non-palletised industrial goods.

Actiw LoadBuffering performs the required load forming processes automatically as required on a load-by-load basis, and optimises the outbound material flow by taking your production unit loads and automatically preparing optimal truck loads, efficiently and accurately.

Actiw, a subsidiary of The Joloda Hydraroll Group, recently installed its LoadPlate® automated loading solution at Sverdrup Steel’s new service centre in Denmark. This case study explores how LoadPlate® has revolutionised their loading operations, improving efficiency, reducing costs, minimising product damage, and enhancing safety.

D2C (Direct to Customer) is all about delivering directly to customers, rather than going through a third-party fulfilment service.

One piece of equipment businesses might use to speed up their D2C operations is an automated loading system, such as the equipment sold by Actiw, a division of the Joloda Hydraroll Group.

These loading systems are especially handy for third-party logistics (3PL) businesses, who often don’t wish to modify their trailers, because Actiw’s equipment doesn’t require permanent modification of trailers.

This automated loading equipment can really mark a turning point in your operations by boosting efficiency, cutting costs and improving handling safety, to name but a few of the benefits, which we’ll explore further in this article.

Handling damage is one of the most common and costly issues across modern supply chains, often occurring during loading rather than in transit. Manual handling, inconsistent loading practices, and forklift use all introduce risk, leading to damaged goods, delays, and increased operational costs. As explored in our guide to eliminating handling damage, addressing these issues at the source is critical to protecting both product integrity and profitability.

In the article we outline proven strategies to reduce damage, from improving packaging and load securing to minimising manual handling through automation. You’ll also discover how unmodified automated trailer loading systems standardise the loading process, significantly reducing variability, improving safety, and enabling damage-free operations across the supply chain.

Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) operate in fast-moving, high-pressure environments where flexibility, efficiency, and cost control are essential to winning and retaining contracts. However, traditional loading methods often create bottlenecks, increase labour costs, and introduce safety and damage risks. As explored in our article on why automated loading is the warehouse solution for any contract, automation enables 3PLs to standardise processes, improve throughput, and deliver consistent performance across diverse client requirements.

In the full article, we explain how automated loading reduces loading times to just minutes, lowers dependence on manual labour, and enhances safety and compliance, helping 3PLs meet SLAs and scale operations without complexity. You’ll also discover why unmodified loading solutions are ideal for multi-client environments, allowing operators to handle any trailer or contract type while maintaining efficiency, flexibility, and long-term competitiveness.

Unmodified loading solutions offer a fast, low-disruption way to improve loading efficiency. By combining flexible loading systems with broader automation technologies, businesses can streamline workflows, reduce manual handling, and create a more connected operation from storage to dispatch. As explored in our article on warehouse automation that lowers OPEX, automation reduces labour dependency, improves accuracy, and helps eliminate costly inefficiencies across the entire warehouse.

In the full article, we break down how automation lowers operating expenditure through both direct savings, such as reduced labour and product damage, and indirect gains like improved space utilisation and faster throughput.
