What is a Telescopic Conveyor?
A Telescopic Conveyor is an extendable conveyor system specifically designed for efficient and safe loading and unloading of goods directly into trucks, containers, or trailers. These conveyors consist of multiple sections that slide or telescope into each other, allowing the conveyor to be extended or retracted as needed.
They can be manually or electrically operated and come equipped with height adjustment features, mobility options, and belt or roller mechanisms depending on the material being handled.
How Does a Telescopic Conveyor Work?
- Initial Setup: The conveyor is positioned at the loading bay.
- Extension: The telescopic sections are extended into the truck or container.
- Conveying: Goods are moved either manually or via conveyor belt/roller system from the warehouse directly into the truck (or vice versa).
- Retraction: After loading or unloading, the conveyor retracts into a compact position, ready for the next job.
This seamless, adjustable system eliminates the need for workers to carry goods in and out of the truck manually, improving speed and safety.
