Portable conveyors： feature rollers for flexible movement to various loading and unloading points. Their lightweight structure allows for manual transfer or forklift operation, making them suitable for temporary loading and unloading operations on construction sites and farms.

Telescopic conveyors ：offer an adjustable conveying length between 6 and 20 meters, enabling them to cover varying distances. They support automated operation to reduce manual adjustments and are suitable for loading containers and trucks.

What are the advantages of Truck Loading Conveyor?

It has three core advantages: high speed and energy saving, flexible adaptation, and easy operation. Its modular structure supports adjustable angles, mobile transitions, or free extension and retraction, and one person can complete precise loading and unloading.

Shortened vehicle loading and unloading time: Compared with pure manual handling, conveyors can continuously and stably transport goods, greatly shortening vehicle loading and unloading time and improving turnover rate.

Reduced labor intensity: Reduced the number of times workers need to bend over and carry heavy objects repeatedly, reducing physical exertion and fatigue.

Reduced cargo damage: The automated conveying process is smoother, reducing cargo collisions and damage caused by improper manual operation.

Flexibility and adaptability: Many types of truck loading conveyors (especially telescopic ones) can adjust the length and height to accommodate trucks of different sizes and cargo stacking requirements.

Truck Loading Conveyor Model Parameters

How does Truck Loading Conveyor work?

Truck loading conveyors use electric motors as power sources. Through transmission devices such as gear boxes, belts or chains, power is transmitted to the drive rollers of the conveyor belt, causing it to rotate and drive the conveyor belt, laying the power foundation for cargo transportation. The goods are placed at the feed end and move along the belt surface by the friction generated by the roughness of the conveyor belt surface. Its frame can flexibly adjust the height and tilt angle through hydraulic or mechanical devices, accurately docking with different truck compartments to ensure smooth loading of goods.

Truck Loading Conveyor Application Scenarios

It is suitable for various fields such as grain, coal, building materials, and chemicals. Its flexible adjustable angle, portable or telescopic extension function can easily adapt to different loading scenarios such as trucks and containers.

Logistics warehouse: In logistics warehouses, truck loading conveyors are used to quickly and accurately load stored goods onto transport trucks. Whether it is a small express parcel or a large pallet cargo, it can be loaded by a conveyor.

Production plant: In a production plant, a truck loading conveyor can connect the production line and the truck to achieve a seamless connection from production to transportation of products.

Port terminal: Port terminals need to load a large amount of goods onto trucks for transshipment. Truck loading conveyors can be used in conjunction with the port's loading and unloading equipment to quickly load the goods unloaded from the ship onto trucks.

Agricultural product processing enterprises: Agricultural product processing enterprises need to load a large amount of agricultural products onto trucks during the harvest season and transport them to processing plants or markets.

Building materials market: Various types of building materials in the building materials market, such as cement, sand, bricks, etc., usually need to be loaded onto trucks and transported to construction sites. Truck loading conveyors can easily handle these heavy and large-volume goods.

Truck Loading Conveyor Customer Use Cases

Large e-commerce logistics center: tens of thousands of orders per day, with a wide variety of goods, ranging from electronic products to daily necessities, mostly packaged in cartons. In the past, manual loading of trucks was inefficient, often leading to backlogs and delayed shipments. The situation has changed significantly after the introduction of telescopic truck loading conveyors. The conveyor can flexibly adjust the length and height to accurately dock different types of trucks.

Food processing company: A food processing company that mainly produces bagged snacks and bottled beverages needs to frequently load products onto trucks and transport them to distributors in various places. Previously, forklifts were used in conjunction with manual handling, which was not only inefficient but also prone to wear and tear on product packaging. The company used a truck loading conveyor with a buffer device and an anti-skid conveyor belt. In order to solve the problem of easy slippage of bagged snacks, the conveyor belt is designed with a special texture to increase friction; for bottled beverages, the buffer device can reduce the vibration impact during loading.

Building materials production factory: The main products include bricks, bagged cement, and building sand. Bricks are large and heavy, cement is easy to generate dust, and construction sand is highly fluid. In the past, loading was difficult and harmful to workers' health. To solve these problems, the factory customized different types of truck loading conveyors. For bricks, a high-strength, large-load flat-plate conveyor is used. Its sturdy frame and wear-resistant conveyor belt can easily handle the handling of bricks.

How to choose a suitable truck loading conveyor according to the type of material?

Different material properties (such as particle size, fluidity, humidity, corrosiveness, etc.) directly affect the selection of conveyors. The following are selection recommendations.

Granular bulk materials: grain, feed, coal, etc., good fluidity, not easy to adhere, and allow slight impact. Telescopic belt conveyors and inclined belt conveyors are recommended. The belt speed should not be too fast (1~2.5m/s) to prevent crushing. Add sidewalls or anti-slip strips to prevent materials from sliding.

Powdered materials: cement, fertilizers, flour, easy to generate dust and absorb moisture, fully enclosed screw conveyors are recommended.

High viscosity/easy to stick materials: feed, molasses, sludge, easy to stick to belts/spiral blades, poor fluidity, scraper conveyors and shaftless screw conveyors are recommended, and the contact surface is Teflon coated or stainless steel polished.

Heavy/sharp materials: ore, gravel, metal scraps, high wear and high impact, heavy chain conveyors and corrugated sidewall belt conveyors are recommended.
