Automated pallet
transport systems
Our transport systems move pallets automatically: through freezer airlocks, across your site and straight into the truck. They cut energy loss, waiting times and damage to goods, while freeing your people up for other work.
Transport systems
Trucks loaded in minutes
Pallets are staged in advance and loaded in one move.
Less energy lost in cold stores
Freezer doors open only as long as needed.
Designed around your building
Each system is built to fit your plant and the way your products move.
Which transport system fits your plant?
Freezer airlocks
In a cold store at -30 °C, cold escapes every moment a door is open. An airlock conveyor moves pallets in and out of the store, ensuring the door is open only as long as needed to minimise energy consumption.
Transfer cars
Where fixed conveyors block the floor, a transfer car moves products while keeping the way clear for forklifts and trucks. It follows rails or a line in the floor and stops automatically when something is in its path.
Truck loading systems
Staging pallets on a chain conveyor before the truck arrives cuts loading time down to minutes. One press of a button loads the entire truck. Truck loading systems also avoid damage caused by forklifts knocking pallets together.
We also build buffer systems, stacking and destacking, and handling for drums, crates and boxes.

Questions and answers

Yes. Each system is designed around your facility, your products and how your goods move, whether that’s a single conveyor or a complete line with transfer cars, airlocks and truck loading.
An airlock conveyor moves pallets in and out of the cold store, so the door is open only as long as needed. Less cold escapes, which keeps energy consumption to a minimum.
Pallets are staged on a chain conveyor before the truck arrives. One press of a button then loads the entire truck in minutes.
