• Three new Tibbett & Britten 13.5m Cartwright GRP boxvan semi-trailers working on an Elida Faberge contract are fitted with Joloda's new conveyor floor.
The system uses four rows of chain-driven aluminium slats fitted into an aluminium floor frame with integral side rubbing strips. The floor gear can be plugged into any loading dock roller system. Pallet loads up to 26 tonnes can be unloaded automatically in under 60 seconds but if a problem arises, the new moving deck can also take the point loads of fork-lifts.
The trailers will operate a shuttle between Faberge's factory in Leeds and T&B's semi-automated warehouse near Castleford.
