Extendable telescopic belt conveyors easily reaches all the way into your truck trailer.
Extending efficiency and retracting costs for truck loading and unloading.
Telescopic, extending conveyors provide the highest level of productivity for large volume, shipping and receiving applications for any type of distribution center. Revolutionizing loading and unloading, the conveyor extends directly into trucks and containers from the fixed unit, bridging the gap between stationary conveyors and transport vehicles.
Equipped with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlled belt and extension drives, these telescoping conveyors ensure smooth transitions at speeds up to 120 feet per minute (FPM). Their versatility allows for the efficient handling of various products, from small cartons to loose bags and tires. This adaptability accelerates cargo handling, making operations faster, easier, and safer.
Telescopic Conveyor Benefits
Engineered to expand your capabilities and optimize your workflow, telescopic dock conveyors are the ultimate solution for fast and safe loading and unloading. These conveyors do more than just bridge the gap between your dock and trailers – they enhance efficiency, reduce manual labor, and ensure a seamless flow of goods, even in the most demanding environments.
