POSTAL & PARCEL

EFFICIENCY IN PARCEL OPERATIONS Growing parcel volumes, labour shortage and consumer demand for faster deliveries are driving parcel operators to find new and more efficient ways of moving parcels. Today both robotics and automation are driving a need for a new generation of parcel load carriers – where effective manual handling is combined with compatibility with automation.

Having the right parcel load carrier, may it be a roll cage for distribution or a foldable cage for line hauls, will make a big difference in operational efficiency. Everything from (un)loading operations in terminals, cubic fill in transportation and compatibility with automation is affected by your choice of load carrier.

Selected from our wide range of 3- and 4-sided roll cages PARCEL DISTRIBUTION In the ever-increasing pressure of high daily parcel volumes and short lead times, you need a high-quality roll cage that is easy and convenient to use manually but is fully compatible with MHE for fast (un)loading as well as automatic tipping. The first, middle and last miles of the supply chain separate the winners from the rest. Roll cages have to be durable and convenient so that they can be moved around smoothly on different surfaces.

PARCEL LINE-HAULS Before, there was time to loose load your line haul truck to get maximum vehicle fill. Today, with later cut-off times and labor shortages, loose loading may not be the best option. A stackable cage that is compatible with tipping and automation combines the benefits of fast (un)loading with great vehicle fill. Loading and unloading require time. With a stackable cage you can combine time savings and optimum cubic fill.

COMPATIBILITY WITH ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION Advanced automation technologies are utilised in parcel supply chain to decrease the dependence on personnel. However, benefits from increased level of automation may not be fully realised if your load carriers are not compatible or if the solution forces you to use sub-optimal ways of working during the following steps of the process. Every solution has to be individually designed and all relevant factors taken into account to ensure full compatibility and business success.
