20ft Container Loading Trailer for Scrap Export

Three custom MVL20 trailers delivered for loading 20ft containers with scrap for export. Built for tough daily use with simple operation, supported by on-site training. Read the full project story below.

Project facts

Three trailers for recurring scrap export

VAKO delivered three custom MVL20 trailers to a scrap-metal trader in Saudi Arabia for loading 20ft export containers in daily yard operations.

Application

Support

On-site training

Operators learned the loading sequence.

The challenge: a repeatable 20ft export-loading process

The customer needed to load 20ft containers with scrap for export under demanding daily yard conditions. The equipment had to be robust, straightforward to operate and suitable for a routine that operators could repeat across the site. A delivery of three trailers provided a consistent loading concept at multiple points.

Material shape, density and container limits all influence the right approach. See VAKO’s waste and recycling applications for the wider scrap-loading context.

The solution

Three custom vertical-loading trailers

VAKO engineered and built three MVL20 trailers for the customer’s 20ft containers and scrap flow. Each trailer positions a container upright so loose material can be loaded from above. The same equipment concept across all three units helps establish a consistent operating routine.

Delivered with operator instruction

The project included on-site training and practical instruction for positioning, loading and returning containers to their transport position. With three trailers in service, the customer has a repeatable 20ft scrap-loading setup for export operations.

VAKO also developed a 40ft vertical loader for aluminium scrap in Denmark. The two projects show how container size, material and yard flow shape each solution. To estimate what a loading change could mean at your site, use the container loading ROI calculator.
