A CUSTOM CART & LOADING SYSTEM TO FACILITATE
DELIVERY
Delivering real returns
A delivery fleet reached out to Ranger Design in search of a design that would optimize loading space within their building and increase efficiency of the entire loading operation.
OBJECTIVES
SPACE OPTIMIZATION
- Reduce loading space
- Increase capacity of current loading area
INCREASED SAVINGS
- Increase monetary savings
- Reduce loading time by 50%
INCREASED EFFICIENCY
- Implement rolling carts
- Accelerate the loading system
SOLUTION
Rolling carts to allow vans to be loaded directly off the conveyor belt, increasing the loading capacity of the facility. The rolling carts can be loaded into the van in three different ways.
CHALLENGES
Space constraints and increased package volume: Our customer was faced with the problem of not having enough space to load all their vans simultaneously inside their facility at the conveyor belt. By utilizing rolling carts this allows the carts to be placed at the belt and loaded directly. Once the carts are full they can be rolled to the vans and loaded. This saves purchasing a longer belt or leasing a larger facility, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Loading time: With the old method of loading vans, the carrier is double handling packages and parcels. However, with a rolling cart, the packages are handled once and the cart is latched in the vehicle, cutting the loading time in half for each vehicle.
