Automatic container loading

Trucks carrying steel move fast on highways, but the process of loading steel plates has always been less than speedy. Sverdrup solved this problem at our new service center in Hedensted.

A one-shot container loading setup called Automatic container loading makes a groundbreaking innovation, turning heavy steel handling both swift and secure. Vertical and horizontal container alignment is done in one minute, and a full container or trailer loading takes less than five minutes.

Automatic container loading saves hours on each truck load.

Saves hours in inhouse loading

«Container loading has transformed our operations — saving hours for each loading. In addition, we achieve reduced costs, improved safety, as well as elimination of damage to the products,” says Daniel Johansen, Site and Operations Manager at Sverdrup Steel in Denmark.
«The system is very safe to work with, giving us a full overview of how we will load the steel plates. The customer can expect on-time delivery and high quality every time», remarks Johansen.
