LoadMatic Lite

innovative product or service

Our second award, Innovative Product or Service, honours the launch of our groundbreaking new solution, LoadMatic Lite. A true game-changer for Automated Loading.

LoadMatic Lite is the only system in the world capable of automating the loading of standard, non-modified trailers, without the need for costly site modifications or bespoke fleets.

It’s designed to help manufacturers and distribution centres increase daily load volumes, boost safety, and reduce costs, all while maintaining flexibility across different transport networks.

The system can load a full trailer in as little as six minutes, transforming efficiency in outbound logistics and delivering rapid return on investment. It opens the door to automation for a much wider range of businesses that have traditionally relied on forklifts and manual handling.

By removing barriers to automation, we’re helping companies embrace efficiency and sustainability at the same time.

LoadMatic Lite was developed through close collaboration between our UK and Finnish R&D teams, blending decades of experience with forward-thinking engineering. The product’s first pilot project with Nestlé Spain is set to take place later this year, a milestone that underscores its global potential.

benefits of LoadMatic Lite

Automating your product loading reduces the chance of accidents or damage.

Streamline your supply chain

With LoadMatic Lite, you get reliable loading slot times in advance and can load full trailers in 6 minutes. Rapid live loading of standard trailers improves your outbound material flow.

Improve work safety

When load handling involves manual work, there is a high risk to safety in each step. When you automate the process, you reduce that risk.

Save on machinery investment and maintenance

LoadMatic Lite significantly reduces your fixed asset costs, replacing a fleet of forklifts with one loading machine.

Boost eco-efficiency

LoadMatic Lite generates additional savings by reducing energy consumption. It runs on electricity, eliminating harmful emissions.

Save on labour and handling

Automation eliminates unnecessary work in load handling. Instead of a team of lift truck operators, one operator can run several LoadMatic Lite docks.

Prevent handling damage

Eliminate damage to your products or vehicles during the loading process. A reliable automatic loading solution keeps your products intact and your end customers satisfied.

a proud moment for Liverpool innovation

Winning both awards in the same year, and at the Liverpool Chamber’s landmark 175th anniversary ceremony, is a tremendous honour. It reinforces Liverpool’s reputation as a city that innovates globally while remaining deeply connected to its industrial heritage.

As a business founded in Liverpool, we are proud to carry this spirit of innovation into every market we serve. From our home base, we continue to Design, build, and deliver technology that keeps global logistics moving safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

We share this success with our entire team, partners, and customers who inspire us to keep pushing forward.

These awards are not just a recognition of what we’ve achieved, they’re a motivation for what comes next. With continued investment in R&D, sustainability, and customer collaboration, Joloda Hydraroll is committed to leading the evolution of Automated Loading Solutions worldwide.
