Manual forklift operations reduced consistency and safety.

 

Solution

ENGOAL deployed Pallsol-RF (Fork Rail Automatic Loading & Unloading System)​to standardize dock loading and unloading.

Key functions:

  • Adaptive truck docking
  • Compatible with 9.6m–17.5m trucks
  • Automated pallet transfer
  • Eliminates forklift entry into trucks
  • Stable and repeatable dock workflow
