Automated container loader for Skaraborgs Träförädling AB in Sweden

About the Project

Skaraborgs Träförädling AB operates a sawmill and a separate planing mill, producing around 100,000 m³ of planed material annually — 95% of which is exported. With a monthly loading volume of 50 to 70 containers, the company turned to SmartTEH to support the efficiency and reliability of its export operations.

The Initial Challenge

Skaraborgs Träförädling AB made the decision to invest in a new loading system to significantly improve the reliability and efficiency of their container loading process. The previous manual method often resulted in package damage and required substantial forklift use, which impacted both time and resource management. By transitioning to a more advanced solution, the company aimed to reduce handling-related risks, lower operational strain, and ensure a smoother, more controlled loading process — supporting their high standards for product quality and delivery.

The Result

The installation went flawlessly from day one. In roughly one month, nearly 100 containers have been loaded using the system. The company significantly reduced costs previously incurred from rebanding and damaged goods. Any damage that occurs is now clearly identified as happening after leaving the site, providing added confidence. Time savings have also been substantial, with loads prepared in advance and operations managed using just one forklift.

Now that the system has been reviewed up close, it is clear that the build quality and components are excellent. Everything is made from high-grade materials, and there have been no complaints.

Why SmartTEH?

SmartTEH was chosen because the functionality it offered matched well with the price. Communication was smooth, and responses were prompt, which helped facilitate timely decision-making.

Client thoughts

In a month, SmartTEH’s loader has filled nearly 100 containers of our planned timber, turning loading into a one-forklift, minutes-long routine and wiping out in-yard damage costs. If a bundle shows a scratch later, we know it happened after dispatch, sharpening our claims and confidence. The hardware is heavy-gauge and ran flawlessly from day one—an honest price for peace of mind.

FAQ

Can the Container Loading System handle unloading?
Yes, the container loading system can unload when the cargo is properly prepared. Using additional equipment—a metal plate—the system is equipped for both loading and unloading functions. This metal plate enhances the system’s versatility and efficiency in cargo handling.
