Three ways that ELS’ Destuff-IT products provide needed unloading benefits

Destuff-IT lift assists by ELS provide a wealth of cost savings and boosted productivity.

Distribution companies and warehouses are always under pressure to reduce expenses, improve efficiency, and use facility space more effectively because of rising operational costs. This drives a demand for innovative, affordable material-handling products. So Engineered Lifting Systems & Equipment (ELS) offers the Destuff-IT line of unloading machines. These ergonomic end-of-conveyor lift assists help workers unload unpalletized products from containers and trailers. They come with many advantages in the competitive-logistics and transportation sectors.

High cost and time savings

Destuff-IT unloading machines enable users to experience more throughput and greater handling capacity with less fatigue and muscle strain. Here are three more key benefits that this equipment provides for logistics and transportation workers:

• Savings. Distribution centres pay workers to unload trailers of unpalletized products, and increasing their effectiveness and providing tools to complete this task more quickly have far-reaching results. These lift assists reduces unloading time significantly, as well as demurrage, standby, and drop-trailer charges. They can also decrease the number of doors required for unloading operations by allowing more trailer turns per door. These advantages lead to high cost savings.
• Space use. These unloading machines from ELS increase accessibility to the tops of containers by enabling users to control the vertical height of the platform and position a conveyor near the products. This enables operators to stack products higher in trailers and containers. Even a three per cent increase in cube use results in fewer truckloads needed to ship the products – which translates into overall savings.
• Versatility. Each Destuff-IT machine can serve more than one dock, and users can integrate them with different types of conveyor systems. No special rails are needed for the machine to run on; it can be driven between docks with its own independent power.

But productivity and efficiency gains are not the only reason to invest in Destuff-IT. Another major advantage is ergonomics: users achieve higher throughput with far less chance of musculoskeletal injury from repetitive lifting, twisting, carrying, and reaching. They stand on a platform to access controls, drive, and steer while positioned near the products.
