Fully automated loading and unloading systems

At the start of the unloading process an adjustable chain conveyor together with a loading robot are set onto the truck bed. With multifunctional magnetic grippers barrels are being unloaded and placed onto the chain conveyor. One after another the truck is being cleared.
