Conveyors for Vehicle Loading
There are many different types of conveyors for vehicle loading. The type of conveyor used for your specific application will depend on a variety of different factors. The factors to consider when choosing the right conveyor to assist with loading and unloading are as follows:
- Budget – there are a wide variety of different conveyors available from North Conveyors Ltd to assist with vehicle unloading. Budget plays a major role in the selection of the right technology. After all, your business needs to see a return on the investment (ROI) right? So think carefully about what the ROI timescale needs to be, and what savings a conveyor system can bring to your operation. Perhaps a conveyor system would enable you to unload a vehicle with two operators instead of four? Or it could enable you to unload 20% more vehicles in a day. Whatever the savings are, make sure you clearly understand them before making the choice of conveyor technology.
- Product to be handled – with such a wide variety of freight being handled across the UK, it is important to fully understand what the conveyor will need to handle. The solutions from North Conveyors Ltd are varied in design, there are driven and non-driven options, options that use belt conveyors and options that use roller conveyors. If for example, you plan to unload poly bags from vehicles, a roller conveyor based solution might not be the best option for you, as the bags won’t handle very well on rollers. A belt conveyor type solution would be best.
- Throughputs – what are the throughput requirements of the system? This will determine the level of sophistication that is required from your conveyor system. If the throughputs are low, then a gravity roller type solution may be best for you.
- Health & Safety – perhaps there are other reasons that you are looking at investing in conveyor hardware? It may be due to ergonomic considerations, making it easier and safer for your employees to do their jobs.
