Types of loading and unloading systems mainly include the following:
Chassis system: This system uses a shore container loading and unloading bridge at the front of the wharf to load and unload ships. Imported containers are unloaded onto the chassis, and then the chassis is towed to the yard by a container tractor for parking. Export containers are towed from the yard to the front of the wharf by a container tractor, and then hoisted onto the ship by the loading and unloading bridge. The advantages of the chassis system include fewer operations, high efficiency, and low damage rate, but the disadvantages are large investment and difficulty in automation.
Straddle carrier system: This system uses a straddle carrier to complete horizontal transportation between the front of the wharf and the yard, as well as stacking and loading and unloading operations at the yard. The straddle carrier has multiple uses, reduces the number of machines and the number of machines, is simple to organize and manage, and is flexible and maneuverable, and can give full play to the efficiency of the loading and unloading bridge. However, the straddle carrier has a complex mechanical structure, a high failure rate, high maintenance requirements, and is expensive.
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) System: The AGV system uses battery-powered unmanned vehicles for loading and unloading operations, with a high degree of flexibility and automation. This system is suitable for various complex environments and can improve work efficiency and accuracy.
Automobile Chain Automatic Loading and Unloading System: This system uses a vehicle-mounted chain device for loading and unloading operations, is suitable for various types of vehicles, and can complete loading and unloading tasks quickly and accurately.
Fork-type automatic loading and unloading system: Loading and unloading operations are carried out through a fork device, which is suitable for various types of goods and has the characteristics of high efficiency and flexibility.
Pallet Transfer Type Automatic Loading and Unloading Machine: This system is specially designed for loading and unloading operations of pallet goods, and can efficiently and accurately complete the transfer and loading and unloading of pallet goods.
Pallet Continuous Automatic Loading and Unloading System: This system uses a continuous pallet conveyor belt for loading and unloading operations, which is suitable for the rapid processing of large quantities of goods.
Truck side fork automatic loading and unloading system: This system uses the side fork device to load and unload trucks. It is suitable for various types of trucks and can complete loading and unloading tasks efficiently and safely.
Power-assisted machinery with telescopic belt conveyor loading and unloading system: This system combines power-assisted machinery and telescopic belt conveyor for loading and unloading operations. It is suitable for situations where long-distance transmission is required, and can improve work efficiency and flexibility.
Semi-automatic carton loading and unloading system: This system combines manual and mechanized equipment for carton loading and unloading operations. It is suitable for occasions that require manual intervention.
Fully automatic carton continuous loading and unloading system: This system is fully automated and suitable for continuous processing of a large number of cartons, which can improve work speed and accuracy.
Visual manipulator automatic loading and unloading system: This system uses visual manipulators for precise loading and unloading operations. It is suitable for occasions that require high-precision operations.
