BEUMER PARCEL PICKER®

UNLOAD PACKAGING UNITS GENTLY AND EFFICIENTLY

GENTLE UNLOADING

The semi-automatic BEUMER Parcel Picker® allows parcels, packages and other shipments to be unloaded quickly and with minimum physical exertion, regardless of whether swap bodies or roller containers are used. The modi­fied, stationary telescopic conveyor moves the unloading unit, which is frontal mounted and which the operator can actively steer, in the direction of the swap body. The parcels are drawn onto the conveyor system via an ergonomically shaped, manually operated parcel manipulator. An add-on module is used with roller containers.

The parcels are unloaded in bulk and transferred via the telescopic conveyor with integrated side walls downstream the conveyor system.

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

The sturdy BEUMER Parcel Picker® offers much improved performance compared to manual unloading, which has previously been the norm: now, parcels no longer have to be physically lifted and carried. This eases the burden on employees, counters their physical fatigue and makes the whole unloading process faster and more ef­ficient. Assuming an average product range and an operator who is used to the system, throughputs of more than twice the manual unloading rate can be achieved.

IMPROVED FOOTPRINT

In existing buildings, the BEUMER Parcel Picker® will enable throughputs to be doubled with no need to alter the building structure. When new buildings are being designed, the number of gates can be reduced on account of the increased throughput, which also improves the building’s footprint.

SAFETY FROM ALL ANGLES

Safety is high on the priority list with the BEUMER Parcel Picker®. The operator station was designed to ensure that there is a suf­ cient safety gap between parcels and the system operator at all times, for instance. Side walls on the telescopic conveyor prevent parcels or packages from falling onto the ‑ oor. A joystick in the operator station controls the direction of movement, while the movement itself is initiated using a foot switch. A camera automatically operates during reversing, to ensure that the system operator can always see what is happening behind him on the monitor.

ERGONOMICS FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

Innovative and up-to-date in every respect: the BEUMER Parcel Picker® represents the state of the art. The latest scientific methods were applied in the development process to achieve the best possible workplace ergonomics and industrial
