Unloading tube containers at their final destination from ships, trains and trucks

For example, a customer of the company in Russia is currently moving pipes from St Petersburg for the oil industry. The load is around 25 tons and previously the unloading system was pushing and dragging the load, causing damage and delays in loading. With the Joloda International system the load is safely and securely moved in and out of the container in minutes. The system is used worldwide by companies moving steel fabrications, steel sections, wood, machinery, pipes and any long, heavy, awkward loads up to 28 tons. Customers include Claas Machinery, Gulf Extrusion, Thyssen Krupp, Vestas, Maybe Bridge, Corus Steel, Schlumberger and VCK.

one-shot loading system is used to load/unload the goods in/out of the container. The Joloda removable one-shot system can move loads of up to 28 tons. Skates run down a galvanised steel track, which is placed both on the loading platform and onto the container floor. The track is elevated by a hydraulic pump, lifting the skate, which then raises the load clear of the platform deck. The ‘live’ load can then be easily rolled into the container. Once loaded both the skates and the tracks can be removed. Using the complete Joloda container system eradicates the need to use top- or side-loading containers, which are not readily available. All can be used in standard, end-loading, low cost containers. All equipment is removed after use and stored for when next needed.

APPROXIMATELY 95 per cent of the world’s cargo is transported on ships using containers, including tube products and machinery. At any moment there are five to six million containers travelling around the world on ships, trains or trucks. So how are these containers unloaded at their final destinations? Joloda International can provide a complete container loading/unloading solution. The system comprises a container jacking system, which is four free standing posts capable of lifting 35 tons. The individual legs locate into the corner casting of the container and lock into position via conventional twist locks. All legs are connected to a central control box and operated by a pendant. This system lifts the container on and off the truck so that when the container is on the ground, the Joloda container
