ABSTRACT:
A device and process are provided for automatically loading trailers or shipping containers. Packages arriving at the loader on a conveyor belt are deposited on a loader deck, where they are moved laterally by an overhead pusher to form a row of packages. Upon formation of a row of packages, small pushers move the row onto the delivery platform. This process is repeated until the delivery platform is filled completely with packages. Once it is filled completely, the delivery platform delivers each loaded row, in turn, to the desired height and position in the container. The platform then cycles back to be reloaded with more packages, and the process is repeated. Once a vertical stack of rows the entire height of the container is formed, the loader backs out of the container by one package length and the entire process is repeated until the truck or container is filled.
