Shipping automation
The ATLS (Shipping automation System) is the world's first fully automated loader for unmodified semi-trailers. The compact Shipping automation System integrates an overhead feed conveyor with an automated forklift that travels within a platform along the loading dock floor. One Shipping automation System serves multiple shipping doors, accommodates misaligned trailers without truck levelers or customized dock equipment, and can fill a trailer with pallets, slip sheets, racks or bails in less than twelve minutes.
Paco Industrial provides the materials handling industry with innovative solutions for electromechanical lift tables requiring precision, durability and unsurpassed autonomous stability.
Paco's new Precizor lift table systems use Paco's industrial grade 6" Spiralift actuators. Our patented Spiralift technology has been in use for 15 years in a wide spectrum of environments and lifting applications throughout the world.

In response to ever-growing demand for shipping automation, PACO has developed the ATLS (Automatic Truck Loading System), the world's first fully automated system designed for installation on a regular dock, allowing regular, non-modified trailers to be loaded with pallets, slip-sheets, racks and other types of unit loads.
One ATLS unit can service an unlimited number of doors, loading up to 120 pallets an hour in every possible load pattern.
Its compliant guiding system allows it to automatically accommodate trailers of all lengths, widths and elevations.
How does it work?
The Loading Module (LM) is a robotized lift-truck that enters trailers to deposit loads. It is equipped with a standard dual lift-truck front-end that enables it to load the full width of the trailer in a single trip.
The Loading Module is mounted on a transfer platform that travels sideways, allowing it to transfer from dock door to dock door. Once the platform has aligned with the appropriate door, it detects the presence of a trailer and measures its length to optimize the load pattern.
Unit-Loads are brought to the Loading Module by an overhead feed conveyor that runs above the dock doors, keeping docks clear of obstacles and available for lift-truck and pedestrian traffic.
If need be, the ATLS can automatically move out of the way and, since the system requires no modifications to the docks, these same docks can still be used by lift-trucks for receiving.
