Engineered to load and unload trailers or floor-loaded products, the Destuff-it™ offers an ergonomic solution for an industry facing rapid growth amidst labor shortages
Gorbel®, a material handling innovator, is set to exhibit its groundbreaking Destuff-it™ machine at the highly anticipated MODEX 2024 supply chain industry trade show in Atlanta from March 11-14.
The Destuff-it™ represents an ergonomic approach to material handling, defined by semi-automation that assists workers instead of displacing them. Featuring an adjustable hydraulic platform, the machine allows one or two workers to precisely position themselves against floor-loaded product walls for efficient handling. Instead of repetitive reaching or bending, the Destuff-it™ brings workers to the products to significantly reduce strain and fatigue.
This is revolutionary for operations dealing with a high volume of trailers and labor turnover, especially in warehouses or distribution centers. “Most containers and trailers are floor-loaded, meaning there are no pallets, just boxes stacked from the floor to the ceiling,” said Vice President of Sales and Customer Experience Pete Friedrich. “It’s a tiring job to do if you’re just having boxes all day long with no assistance from any other kinds of equipment.”
Gorbel® is excited to exhibit the Destuff-it™ at MODEX 2024, along with their renowned Overhead Solutions, and showcase how these innovative products align with their mission to “Improve People’s Lives.” Attendees can experience live demonstrations and interact with a team of product experts.
