The art of unloading
October 1st 2010

Cajlan Rite-Hite intends to take the strain out of unloading and loading with its BeltTrack telescopic conveyor.

The lifting equipment reaches up to 18 metres, so the operator can extend or retract the boom inside a container. This allows the operator to position the conveyor optimally and move naturally without excessive lifting.

Caljan BeltTrack can be customised to suit individual applications and a platform can lift one or two operators with the boom so that heavy items like tyres can be moved more easily.

Fitting a Vaculex ParceLift (pictured) lifting aid to the head of the boom further reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

In addition, the company's Mobile Loader enables operators to load or unload vans, trailers and containers through a standard industrial door.

Mounted on heavy-duty swivel castors, the conveyor is manoeuvred into position. Items travel up the belt conveyor and along the extendable flex-conveyor inside the container.

Little lifting is involved, as the height of the belts can be adjusted to provide optimal working conditions. Even with a steep incline, a firm-grip, structured belt ensures cumbersome, heavy boxes don't fall off.
