Your operation is only as effective as its workers. To contribute to a productive working environment, New York-based warehouse solutions manufacturer, Gorbel®, offers the Destuff-it™ portable ergonomic conveyor system.
This advanced machine is designed to transform warehouse operations by enabling workers to easily move unpalletized or floor-stacked products during the container loading and unloading processes.
“Rather than repeatedly overreaching or twisting, workers can simply position the Destuff-it™ and slide products weighing up to 165lbs onto its micro conveyor. Products travel downstream from the Destuff-it™ and are transferred seamlessly onto a new or existing flexible, telescopic, or cascading belt conveyor,” says Rob Beightol, director of marketing at Gorbel®. “With this state-of-the-art machine, you can increase productivity while minimizing the risk of injuries associated with manual lifting.”
The Destuff-it™ can be driven via battery power for ultimate door-to-door maneuverability and accommodates two workers on its height-adjustable platform. An operator can further fine-tune their position to the box wall or other product configuration by adjusting the micro conveyor horizontally or vertically.
Once the Destuff-it™ is ergonomically positioned, workers can slide or push products onto its micro conveyor without straining themselves. This not only reduces injury rates but also creates an environment where physical stress and fatigue do not drag down your workforce. The Destuff-it™ can further improve employee working conditions by incorporating thoughtfully engineered extras, such as lighting to illuminate dark walls and mounted fans to circulate air in stuffy shipping containers.
By implementing the Destuff-it™ machine and unloading at least four containers a day, companies can experience a return on investment within 12 to 14 months. This machine can achieve consistent rates of 900-1,500 boxes per hour, with the ability to further increase case rates by connecting the Destuff-it™ to automation.
Gorbel® manages an extensive video library showcasing the Destuff-it™ and its many applications. See the Destuff-it™ in action here.
