Chantelle invests in ergonomy

Tuesday, October 18, 2022

The PowerFlex roller conveyor, which unfolds inside the container, allows Chantelle to mechanise unloading. Operators place parcels on the steel rollers, which are sorted onto pallets at the end of the line before being stored. The PowerFlex is mobile and used at the warehouse's two unloading locations, depending on the incoming goods. Thanks to the installation of the flexible roller conveyor, operators are less fatigued and enjoy greater working comfort.

"When received, a container contains about 800 individual parcels. After about a hundred movements back and forth, moving from the container to the receiving dock is tiring for our operators. By using UVOTec's motorised PowerFlex roller conveyor, we have reduced the strain of these repetitive movements. The feedback from our teams has been very positive," says Léa Lechevallier, head of the Darjeeling logistics warehouse, a Chantelle Group brand.

60 is the percentage of load port that has been reduced by the BUT house equipment specialist since the installation of three BestReach telescopic conveyors. Thanks to the nacelle of automated systems, mounted on hydraulic cylinders, operators significantly improve their working ergonomics by handling the unloading of packages at different heights of the truck. The rear of the conveyors is also equipped with a mat that has the advantage of stacking packages on pallets without having to wear them again. The pallets are thus better organized and the operators less tired.
