SIMPLY.
The container-loading system.

Containers can solve all logistics problems. Except for one: Loading them. A brilliant idea can particularly be turned on its head when it comes to heavy and bulky items. Worldwide standards and systems are replaced by on-site improvisation, requiring forklifts and staff inside the containers securing the items with their bare hands. And being exposed to numerous risks. Not to mention the time wasted. Because any container that’s not in motion costs money.
So it’s high time for a new standard: A container-loading system. Thought through from A to Z. Easy to manoeuvre – and even easier to operate.
The SIMPLY container-loading system provides exactly that. After pressing the button, it’s only another 10 minutes before the truck can drive out of the yard.

SIMPLY offers impressive services. Its load-bearing capacity is 30 tonnes. You can use it worldwide, and that’s very flexible. Apart from space, all you need is a connection to a high-voltage power current. The reasons for this can be summarised in one single word: Practice. SIMPLY was developed and designed based on the requirements of a company shipping heavy, unwieldy flood-protection systems all over the world.

But no matter what the specific case, the focus was on swiftly and reliably shipping products the rest of the world was waiting for. And that’s why SIMPLY is a container-loading system designed for all conventional maritime containers.
SIMPLY itself is of course easily shipped by container! And this pays off when it comes to time-limited projects. Because the first thing suppliers do then is send a SIMPLY to their customers by container. The customers in turn use it to unload the goods, enjoying advantages in terms of safety, handling and time!
SIMPLY is then just sent back at the end of the project.

Bulky, heavy cargo.
From the SIMPLY perspective.

But if a container-loading system has been developed based on tough, real-life requirements, it’s only logical for additional experience to constantly be taken into account. And while the question of “Why doesn’t someone create a product that…” is frequently asked for many things, when it comes to SIMPLY, it’s more like “Why hadn’t anyone invented this before?”

Container-loading. The easy way.

SIMPLY is a container-loading system consisting of very few components, making it more reliable and flexible. And each of these components is extremely sophisticated.
Which boosts SIMPLY’s efficiency – and your satisfaction.

How it works.

Smart

SIMPLY is based on a frame with crossbars. It is made from solid steel and designed to handle the heaviest of loads. It is also weatherproof, since automatic container-loading systems need to be able to guarantee long-term, reliable operation even outdoors amongst the elements. The frame’s supports sit on castors, and are also height and side-adjustable. Powered electrically upon request.

Simple

The transport frame sits on the base framework. It moves in and out of the container. It too is made from solid steel, but is just nine centimetres high in order to optimise load height. The transport frame pushes the load-bearing pallet into the container, and then slides back under it. To do this, it is first hoisted by air bellows, of which there are twenty-one in total. The frame is powered by a chain; the engine has an output of 1.5 kW and a nominal voltage of 400 Volts. The pallet is made of wood, and is even easy to build yourself, depending on the size of your load and, of course, the container.

Fast

This makes it easy and safe to pick the load outside the container or before the container even arrives, saving time, sparing nerves, and, most importantly, avoiding the need to have forklifts and staff inside the container.

You can choose to either hoist the pre-picked pallet onto the automatic container-loading system or pick the pallet directly on the transport frame.

Cost-efficient

Container-loading. A process that requires a grand total of one staff member! And even they don’t have much to do. The truck reverses up to SIMPLY and uses its level adjustor to eliminate any differences in height. Once the under edge of the container reaches the same height as SIMPLY, tailor-made fasteners are plugged into the standardised corner fittings and affixed with a tension screw. The compressed air for the air bellows is then connected and the container length selected on the switch box. The rest is a press of a button.

The air bellows hoist the transport frame, which travels into the container with the load, before automatically sliding back out again. The container doors can then be shut and the truck can head off. The whole thing has taken ten minutes. In short: The technology is like taking a penalty kick. Without a goalkeeper.

The SIMPLY advantages at a glance:

Automatic container-loading system

If the most difficult and tedious part about shipping bulky, heavy items is the container-loading process, it should be made the easiest instead! SIMPLY’s motto is: Push the button. Load and go.

Added safety for the load

Sensitive or fragile sections can be secured hassle-free – outside the container, in ideal conditions in terms of lighting and space.

Faster turnover times

SIMPLY is an automatic container-loading system that ensures your products reach your customers faster.

Functionality

As effectively as SIMPLY operates, its core principle is to make container-loading as easy as possible. SIMPLY doesn’t use any ramps, extra floors, laser scanners or hydraulic mechanisms to load goods into containers. SIMPLY only offers what you need. But it does it right!

Added safety for staff

Loading bulky, heavy goods into a container can be a risky business. And if staff have to manually fasten parts weighing several tonnes in dim lighting, or indeed manoeuvre a forklift in the container, the risk of accident increases tenfold. SIMPLY eliminates these risks. No people means no injuries. That’s how easy safety can be with an automatic loading system.

Time flexibility

You don’t have to wait for the truck to arrive in order to start loading; you can plan your time and staff placement flexibly.

Robustness

With SIMPLY, you won’t even need a maintenance contract. Its main components are made from solid steel, and the system is highly resistant and weatherproof. So you can easily perform your repairs and maintenance in-house.

Examples where SIMPLY was just the perfect solution.

“Bulky and heavy goods” initially sounds abstract, but two of our customers demonstrate the advantages directly:

A cable railway manufacturer.
A cable railway consists of a number of bulky column elements, cabins and pulleys. And of course, mechanical components which also need to be protected. Coupled with this is the fact that building cable railway is always project-managed, meaning compliance with deadlines is a top priority. As such, the parts need to be sent quickly, and also unloaded quickly at their destination, which is why multiple SIMPLY systems are used here. For loading at the production site and for on-site unloading all over the world. This process has been proving successful for years.

A manufacturer of agricultural machinery
There’s no way a combine harvester will fit in a container. But what about components like coilers, feed screws and, most importantly, cutter bars? Which are large and also sensitive in parts. SIMPLY has proven to be particularly effective here in ensuring each individual piece is protected and reaches the customer intact.

Many manufacturers similarly do not send uncoated metal, but rather varnish their products. Pre-picking pays off in these cases too.

Containers dramatically increase
profitability. Clearly.

Containers revolutionised logistics. It’s now time to make the first link in the value chain – the loading process – just as efficient. The system’s speed has proven to be extraordinarily profitable. Because it’s not just the loading times that are reduced, but also the handling times! You can similarly save on open-top containers – depending on route, they are between 600 and 1000 Euros compared to standard containers. You yourself will be able to clearly see the point at which SIMPLY puts you back in the black. And the reliability and increased work safety will of course pay off for your staff too! A faster loading process means they will be available for other tasks in shorter time.
The purchase price happens to be comparatively low.
