40ft Vertical Loader for Aluminium Scrap Container Loading
A custom 40ft vertical loading solution for efficient aluminium scrap container loading from yard to terminal. Designed to support gravity-assisted loading and improved loading flow, with a reported ~40% reduction in loading time. Read the full project story below.
Customer & Situation
For a Danish customer in the scrap processing sector, VAKO developed a solution to load aluminium scrap into 40ft containers for transport from the scrap yard to the terminal. The customer needed a dedicated setup that fits the realities of daily yard operations and supports consistent container loading.
The Challenge
The customer was dealing with large loading volumes and wanted a method that is safe and fast while keeping handling steps low. Traditional loading routines took more time and did not make full use of the container’s available loading capacity. That meant efficiency losses in the yard and higher logistics costs over time.
The Process
VAKO delivered the full trajectory from design and build through to testing. The engineering team aligned the system with the customer’s operational constraints and loading workflow. The unit was delivered in Denmark and put into use with on-site instruction, a live demonstration, operator training, and joint commissioning tests at the customer’s location.
