Facing rising operational costs, distribution and warehousing companies are under increasing pressure to optimize space, cut expenses, and improve efficiency. This demand has fueled interest in cost-effective material handling solutions that enhance productivity while reducing overhead.
Engineered Lifting Systems addresses these challenges with its Destuff-IT machines—ergonomic, end-of-conveyor lift assists designed to streamline the unloading of unpalletized goods from containers and trailers.
Key Benefits of the Destuff-IT System
Cost Savings
Unloading unpalletized products manually is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The Destuff-IT accelerates the process, reducing unload times and minimizing demurrage, standby, and drop trailer fees. Additionally, its efficiency allows for fewer dock doors to handle the same volume, increasing trailer turnover per door and delivering substantial long-term savings.
Optimized Space Utilization
By allowing operators to adjust the platform height and position conveyors closer to the load, the Destuff-IT improves access to stacked cargo. Even a modest 3% increase in container cube utilization can reduce the number of truckloads required, cutting transportation costs.
Flexibility & Ease of Use
The system is highly adaptable, working seamlessly with various conveyor setups and requiring no specialized rails. Its self-powered design enables easy movement between docks, making it a versatile solution for dynamic warehouse environments.
Enhanced Ergonomics & Worker Safety
Beyond productivity gains, the Destuff-IT prioritizes operator well-being. Workers control the platform from an ergonomic standing position, minimizing fatigue and reducing injury risks associated with repetitive lifting, twisting, and overhead reaching. This design not only boosts throughput but also supports a safer, more sustainable workforce.
As supply chains evolve, solutions like the Destuff-IT demonstrate how smart engineering can drive efficiency, cut costs, and improve workplace conditions—delivering value across the logistics industry.
