Vehicle loader modifications
August 1st 2009 Sovex is reported to have
made some innovative
modifications to its MVL9
mobile vehicle loader. The
changes promise to simplify
and speed up parcel
handling operations, as well
as improve efficiency and
reduce manual handling
requirements.
MVL9 is designed for
premises without a raised
loading dock, and comprises
a horizontal telescopic belt
conveyor fixed to a height
adjustable inclined conveyor.
Parcels flow up the inclined
section and on to the belt
conveyor, which extends into
the vehicle and carries them
to an operator for loading.
Travel direction is reversible
to allow unloading.
Sovex has mounted a
short horizontal belt
conveyor to the bottom of
the inclined section,
reducing the chances of
parcels hanging at transfer
points when the unit is
connected to mobile
conveyor networks.
Eliminating the needs for
workers to clear such items
by hand, this improves
efficiency and reduces
manual handling.
Thanks to the recent
modifications, the portable
machine is now completely
motorised and features a
wheel which allows users to
steer the machine into
position. More articles from Sovex Systems Ltd: |
