Safe and efficient container unloading process
Unloading shipping containers and trucks takes less than ten minutes with the Container Unloading System.
Here's the process in five simple steps:
- The semitrailer or platform carrying the container is attached to the unloading equipment.
- The Container Unloading System uses gripping clamps to secure the container.
- The system smoothly pushes an alloy sliding plate into the container under the cargo.
- When the plate reaches the desired depth, it carefully pulls the cargo out.
- The container unloader releases the gripping clamps, detaching the container.
Container Unloading System build
- Unloading plate. A durable alloy steel plate that slides into the container or truck trailer to unload cargo in minutes.
- Legs. The unloading system stands on two sets of legs. The hydraulics let you easily adjust its height to fit any trailer or container platform.
- Container connector clamps. The clamps ensure that the container and trailer don’t move during the unloading process.
- Gear motor. The electric motor powers the entire system, including the moving plate, leg adjustments, and container connector clamps.
- Control system. The smart control system automates all movements, making unloading safe and easy at the push of a button. It also integrates seamlessly with other systems for smooth warehouse and logistics operations.

Cargo loading tips for a smooth container unloading process
If containers are not loaded correctly, unloading can be difficult. Work with your supplier to follow these simple rules for safe and quick container unloading.
- Use wooden boards, runners, or other supports. Leave a small gap from the container floor for easier unloading.
- Secure items with fixing that can be removed. Make sure the fixing used to secure the cargo can be removed or unstrapped from container walls before unloading. This prevents damage and ensures smoother handling.
- Leave a 2–3 cm gap between the goods and the container walls. This extra space reduces the risk of damage when unloading.
