The CSi pallet chain conveyor system can load and unload a diverse range of pallets and load types due to the chain conveyor bridge at the trailer interface. The chain conveyor dock will index a complete pallet load prior to the arrival of the distribution vehicle. Once docked the trailer can be loaded in 90 seconds. The chain conveyor easily interfaces with other pallet handling systems such as roller and conveyors, AGV’s and shuttle cars and can be easily fitted to new or existing vehicles.

Characteristics

• Power supply from the trailer or the dock.
• No forklift trucks required in the trailer anymore.
• No limitation in handling a large pallet weight variation.
• Very robust for heavy loads.

Execution

The chain conveyors consist of two or three chain tracks to convey each row of pallets. This conveyor will be mounted on the dock as well as in the trailer. Special attention will be required for the speed of both conveyors in order to keep the total load together as one block during the transfer between trailer and dock.

Application

The best value for money solution for a frequent shuttle service between two points for very heavy loads. Shuttle service on a large site from production to storage or a shuttle service from production plant to a third party distributor on the same industrial estate.

System package

• A chain conveyor package in the trailer with trailer or dock control.
• A loading/unloading dock including controls for dock and trailer.
• Heavy-duty vehicle levelling and centering.
• Optional a control gate for a smooth transfer from pallet load into the trailer.
