How does the container loader work?
Prep your cargo
Arrange your cargo neatly on the system's loading plate. Save time by doing this before the container arrives.
Position the container
Move the container into place and lock it in securely with the system’s heavy-duty gripping clamps.
Hit the loading button
With a single press, the loading plate powers into action – loading your cargo in just five minutes.
Lock it down
The stopper bar drops into place, securing your load while the loading plate slides back smoothly.
You’re done
That’s it, your cargo’s ready to roll. The gripping clamps release, the system resets, and you’re all set to load the next container.
