ELS Restuff-IT machines work best for loading and unloading applications

The Restuff-IT loader and unloader by ELS

Engineered Lifting Systems & Equipment Inc. (ELS) specializes in manufacturing and supplying industrial lifting systems that make difficult jobs seem easy. A key example is the company’s line of portable ergonomic conveyor systems – Destuff-IT and Restuff-IT. The latter is a loading and unloading system that is a major asset for inbound receiving docks and outbound shipping docks in manufacturing plants and warehouses, offering an unmatched return on investment for users.

Belt travels in two directions

A bi-directional unit for workers who load and unload floor-loaded products from trailers and containers, the Restuff-IT has a modular belt that can travel both forward and in reverse. With its optimal positioning to the box wall, these portable ergonomic conveyor systems allow users to achieve higher throughput with reduced fatigue and muscle strain. Up to two operators can stand on the platform to drive and steer the machine, with easy access to the controls.

Hydraulic power enables the operator(s) to control the platform’s vertical height (26 inches from the floor) for safe positioning with respect to the products. By grasping the rotary handle, the user can easily guide the pivoting conveyor left or right, allowing him or her to position the conveyor near the product. This results in less worker injury from repetitive lifting, twisting, carrying, or overhead reaching.

In unload mode, the Restuff-IT can fulfill the same functions as the ELS Destuff-IT portable ergonomic conveyor system – with the same results. The Restuff-IT can reduce not only unload time, but also demurrage, standby, and drop-trailer charges. It also lowers the number of required doors for unloading by allowing more trailer turns per door.

This machine is ideal for inbound or outbound warehouse docks handling boxes, carpet rolls, or tires, as well as distribution centres that handle delicate or floor-loaded products in shipping containers or trailers. The machine’s portability allows operators to use it at multiple dock doors; users can drive it easily between docks under its own independent power. It has an integrated drive and steering system that can negotiate dock leveler slopes and transition plates.

Trust the Restuff-IT solution for efficient, versatile loading and unloading that covers its costs and offers a fantastic return on investment.
