choosing the right loading solutions for your automotive business

Working on the floor of an automotive manufacturing facility means working with heavy parts. That could be tyres, engine parts or even a completely assembled engine. As well as being heavy, they could be bulky and cumbersome to lift. We offer two solutions that suit loading operations in the automotive industry and spare workers a lot of this gruelling manual work.

Our moving floor conveyor can help businesses to load and unload trailers in as little as two minutes or less. The automated nature of the conveyors means no one needs to conduct any manual loading. They just have to operate the conveyor, allowing for safe loading and unloading of the trailers. Even during high-volume processes, the conveyor is incredibly safe. It enjoys special use in the automotive industry, where businesses employ it widely for tyre and wheel assemblies.

When it comes to choosing a system, there are several factors to consider. Here are the main ones:

If you’re dealing with liquids such as oil, you’ll need a different system that enables you to handle solids. You must also consider the size of the materials or goods. Some systems are only designed to work with smaller sizes or quantities, whereas others are created for much larger, heavier cargo.

You don’t want to overburden your loading system, so check the capacity it can handle. Some systems can only transfer lighter loads safely and efficiently, whereas others are more heavy-duty and carry much more weight safely.

Buying your loading system from an experienced supplier who can understand your requirements is important. They’ll ensure the system meets your specific needs. Often, you can choose from a ready-made system or a custom-made one. It’s important to choose the type that matches your requirements.

Before implementing an automated system in your business, you should always conduct a full analysis of your current logistics operations. This ranges from inventory management through to inbound and outbound logistics. The purpose of the analysis is to identify where you can improve your logistics and how you can do so.

Using our extensive experience operating in the logistics industry, we can take a look at your business and see how a loading system could fit into your operations. We’ll also be able to help you choose the right system for your business and install it for you.
