Your team pre-loads the goods on the SIMPLY. frame outside the container, whenever it suits. When the truck docks, the frame moves up to approx. 30 t into a standard 40 ft container in one lift, and the truck can leave about 10 minutes after you press the button.
One person operates the machine. Nobody has to go inside the container.

“In total, we loaded 700 containers in Sengenthal and reliably unloaded them in Chengdu during the project period.”
Forklifts carry or push the goods into the box, and people work in and around the container to guide them. At Dexion, profiles up to 12 metres long were picked up by two forklifts and towed into the containers. Loading usually took two hours.

The roof comes off so a crane can lower the goods in. Open-top containers are often hard to source and cost between €600 and €1,000 more than a regular sea freight container. At Wittmann Battenfeld, two employees still had to go into the container afterwards to check the cargo, with headlamps.
