Interesting idea. Looks clean. Big investment and maintenance cost. I can't help but wonder if it's an overengineered solution to the wrong part of the problem. In my observations, most of the time loading a semi trailer, is spent maneuvering forklifts on and off truck beds. This system still needs bodies and forklifts to create and dismantle the stacks before and after being on the truck. What happens when the stack is a little too wide, too tall, irregular, or shifts during transport? And If one breaks down does the whole bay shutter until it's fixed? I think a more useful device would be a roller platform inside the truck that moves pallets to, from, and around, the bed interior. That way the forklift operator can place and pick up loaded pallets right off the back of the truck.

Logistics loading evergreen = One-shot loading / unloading a full truck or container powered by automation ⁉️ In less than 10 minutes SMED and lean approach powered by automation to improve the efficiency of truck loading/unloading ✅ saving loading time – up to 60 minutes, ✅ reducing the number of loading docks and fixed costs (e.g. heating or temperature control), ✅ monitoring of the entire load and increased storage space, ✅ reducing forklift traffic – the possibility of configuration with AGV and automatic flow from the loading area to the storage area SMED goes logistics….converting as many changeover steps as possible to “external” (performed while the equipment is running), and to simplify and streamline/automate the remaining steps.
