During the loading process, larger parcels are placed in available positions on the trailer floor in a controlled manner, before the system continues loading the remaining area.
Large parcels must remain within the defined maximum allowed parcel profile, and the parcel flow must be singulated to ensure stable and predictable placement. Bulk or clumped parcels are not accepted.

AutoLoader typically loads parcels up to approximately 75–80% of the available internal trailer or container height, depending on the parcel mix and trailer geometry.

Yes, AutoLoader can handle a mixed parcel flow as long as the flow is singulated and within the recommended parcel specifications.
Bulk flow, clumped parcels, or uncontrolled infeed are not accepted, as AutoLoader relies on controlled, single‑piece parcel presentation for stable and predictable loading.
Energy‑saving functions help optimise operation during fluctuating or irregular parcel flow.

AutoLoader throughput may vary depending on the speed of the feeding system, but in general, it is around 3,500 parcels per hour.

Yes, it handles most irregular shapes well, including polybags, paperbags, returns, heavy, light, long and in general odd-size parcels. Items like cylinders or football-shaped parcels can present some challenges.

The AutoUnloader is applicable to various trailer and swap body sizes. It is typically suited for 12m (40 ft), 13m (45 ft), and 16m (53 ft) long trailers. The length of the AutoUnloder floor can be adjusted.

AutoUnloader throughput may vary depending on the size of the vehicle and capacity of following system. For a 40 ft trailer, in fully automatic mode it is around 5000 parcels per hour, for semi-automatic – around 2000 parcels per hour.

By tripling buffer capacity compared to standard store feed systems, the Bulkloader allows operators to start later and still hit throughput targets. This flexibility optimizes workflow, reduces idle time, and helps maintain productivity during peak periods.

Most clients experience ROI quickly due to the 50% reduction in the truck loading/unloading time, reduced labour requirements, and improved operational efficiency. The exact timeframe depends on your current throughput and operational costs.

Built for demanding environments, the Classic handles loads up to 50 kg per meter with smooth, FI‑controlled drives. Belt speeds are optimized for workflow efficiency, and components are specified to withstand temperatures from 0–40 °C and humidity up to 85%. With multiple section configurations reaching up to 16 meters, the Classic delivers strength and flexibility for any loading dock.

Yes, Caljan Classic is designed for seamless integration. With options like raised belt transfer and customisable configurations, it easily connects with your existing parcel handling systems and warehouse solutions.

Caljan Classic is the world’s best-selling telescopic conveyor. It’s constructed from high-quality micro steel alloy to endure the demanding conditions prevalent in loading and unloading areas, ensuring precise operation and consistent high performance throughout the equipment’s service life. The combination of durability, additional safety features, and customisation options makes it a great addition for logistics operations in various industries.

Caljan Performer is the most advanced telescopic conveyor on the market – fully customisable in length, elevation and features. It supports high-throughput loading and unloading with optional accessories such as lighting, operator platforms, and automatic movement, making it a smart logistics choice for both inbound and outbound operations.

Yes, there will be a key switch on the cabinet with two modes: robot and Caljan (manual) mode. This allows maximum flexibility for truck loading and unloading at the door.

The average trailer unloading rate is around 600–800 parcels per hour, but it can be adjusted to align with the robot’s unloading speed.

Yes, Caljan conveyors are suitable for polybags, parcels, and envelopes of various sizes and weights. Polybag handling is dependent on the robotic technology used. To find the solution that fits your needs, apply for a free consultation with our product experts.

Yes, safety functions remain identical in both Caljan and robotic mode. All emergency stops are active at all times, ensuring operator safety.

The robotic panel draws power from the facility’s main supply, pausing only when the telescopic conveyor is in motion. This ensures optimised energy use during operation.

The robot supplier equips the Caljan telescopic conveyor with a control panel and all essential devices. These are connected to the Caljan control panel through cables, ensuring consistent performance.

Caljan’s headquarters is located in Aarhus, Denmark. Yes — we operate globally. With manufacturing sites, sales offices, and service teams across Europe, North America, and other key regions, we support customers worldwide with localized expertise and fast response times.

Caljan specializes in automation solutions for logistics, including telescopic conveyors, automated document handling, labeling systems, and fully integrated parcel-handling technologies. Our focus is to help high‑volume operations move goods faster, safer, and more efficiently.

Our engineers can connect directly to your Caljan equipment using secure remote support tools, allowing them to diagnose and resolve issues quickly without needing to be on-site.

Installation details such as serial numbers, system layout, and issue description help us respond quickly and effectively.

Yes. Our trained engineers support a wide range of conveyor makes and models.

Inspection frequency depends on throughput, operating environment, and system age. We tailor cycles to your needs.

Preventive maintenance focuses on routine inspections and upkeep to prevent breakdowns. Reactive maintenance provides fast support when urgent issues occur.

All wear and tear parts – rollers, bearings, chains, sprockets, front bumper, cylinders, etc. Belt motor and telescope motor can also be replaced (optional). Worn components are replaced, and the system is fully installed, tested, and commissioned to perform like new.

No. Caljan plans refurbishment projects around your operational needs and avoids peak seasons wherever possible. This ensures minimal downtime while keeping your throughput and service levels high.

If your telescopic conveyor has been running reliably for many years but shows signs of wear on moving parts, refurbishment is often the best option. It allows you to extend the lifetime of your equipment and reduce the risk of downtime without replacing a system that still performs well.

Keeping spare parts kits on-site ensures immediate access to critical components, allowing service technicians to repair your conveyors quickly and avoid extended downtime. This minimizes production stoppages and reduces potential financial losses.

Yes. An IoT kit must be installed in your Caljan equipment to collect sensor data. This hardware communicates through a mobile or local network, allowing the system to retrieve and process information from key components in real time.

System Insights provides access to a wide range of equipment-level KPIs, including belt hours, telescope hours, hydraulic usage, parcel throughput, loading and unloading cycles, extension/retraction counts, emergency stop activity, bumper interventions, and detailed energy consumption. These KPIs help you understand wear, detect anomalies, and optimise day-to-day operations.

The system supports up to 35 kg per tyre and a maximum line load of 50 kg/m.

Pop‑out rollers monitored by safety sensors (PL=c), emergency stop coverage (PL=c) and optional rear “stop parcel” functionality.

Yes — while engineered for seamless Performer integration, custom free‑standing variants are available on request.
