Droop Snoot — a Caljan Performer Function
Unload or load trailers / containers efficiently and ergonomically
The Droop Snoot articulating conveyor extension can be fitted to ALL Caljan Performer sizes.
Equipped with a standard control panel, the operator uses a smart pad to raise or lower the Droop Snoot into an appropriate position.
Pivoting vertically through ±30° Droop Snoot reaches down to the floor and up to the ceiling. With little effort, the operator can load or unload loose cargo ergonomically.
Easy to use. Easy to own.
Keep an optimal working position at all times
The operator simply moves the articulating conveyor up and down, so he/she can ease loose-loaded cargo onto the conveyor belt. Once the item is eased onto the ergonomic front panel, the high-grip belt takes care of the rest. Loading and unloading becomes much easier as there is no stretching and minimal movement.
Use with small and large vehicles
Parcels can easily be placed at height, utilizing the whole of the vehicle and saving on transport costs. When the fleet includes vans and similar small vehicles, Droop Snoot articulating conveyor can be lowered below floor level. This flexibility means vehicles of ANY size can be loaded or unloaded through standard loading bay doors.
Store upright for easy door access
When the Telescopic Conveyor is not in use, the Droop Snoot articulating conveyor extension can be stored in an upright position. This allows free passage between the conveyor and the door.
Watch Caljan Droop Snoot in action
The Caljan Performer conveyor shown below is fitted on powered castors, so that it can serve multiple doors.
Note how packages are dragged onto the articulating conveyor, instead of lifted. The belt does the work, not the operator.
More solutions to make the job easy
Rapid unloading
Need even more efficiency? EXPRESS Snoot not only moves up and down, it moves from side to side which reduces the time it takes to unload by 27%.
Loading automation
If recruiting is difficult automating the loading process could be the answer. Availability can be predicted, throughput is increased and downtime is completely elminated.
Cut lead times
Cut the cost of handling paperwork, by automating the whole process. No expensive cut off times due to pre-printing, no need to update paperwork and no time wasted matching documents to orders.
Increase throughput
When you want to increase throughput, making label application more efficient is a must. The level of automation matches the throughput you require. No more, no less.
