In today’s fast-paced logistics and e-commerce environments, businesses are under constant pressure to increase throughput and reduce manual handling. A boom conveyor is a highly effective solution that can significantly improve warehouse efficiency and loading dock performance.
What is a Boom Conveyor?
A boom conveyor is an extendable conveyor system designed to reach into trailers, containers or vans for efficient loading and unloading. These systems are commonly used in parcel handling and express delivery operations, where speed and efficiency are critical.
How a Boom Conveyor Optimises Your Supply Chain
Faster Loading and Unloading
Boom conveyors extend deep into the trailer, reducing the distance that workers need to carry goods. This significantly cuts down on loading and unloading times.
Improved Ergonomics and Safety
By automating the handling of cartons and totes, boom conveyors reduce the risk of injuries caused by repetitive lifting and manual labour.
Labour Cost Reduction
Reducing the physical strain on workers and improving throughput allows businesses to manage more volume with fewer personnel.
Integration with Powered Roller Systems
Boom conveyors can be seamlessly integrated with other powered roller conveyors, allowing a fully automated end-to-end handling solution.
Applications for Boom Conveyors
- Parcel delivery hubs
- eCommerce fulfilment centres
- Retail distribution centres
- 3PL warehouses
