Advanced Loading Solutions

Rollerbed Systems LLC is where innovation meets reliability. Discover a comprehensive range of advanced loading solutions to enhance efficiency and optimize logistics operations. Each product embodies our commitment to quality and performance, from pneumatic roller tracks to specialized loading systems.

Pneumatic Roller Track

Since its inception in the 1970s, the use of air or hydraulic power to lift rollers for material handling has evolved significantly. Today, this technology offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective method for transporting heavy and large unitized loads within the transportation industry.

Features

Dynamic Control and Safety

Our pneumatic roller tracks are designed for on-demand operation, ensuring live functionality only when needed. With a simple lever or switch, operators can effortlessly lift the rollers, facilitating the safe movement of even the heaviest pallets. Once positioned, deflating the airbags ensures the static load rests securely on the floor.

Enhanced Efficiency and Safety

We recommend integrating Rollerbed Systems LLC’s pneumatically raised rollers into your vehicle setup for applications where speed and safety are paramount. Coupled with a complementary dock system at assembly areas or docks, our solutions streamline operations while maintaining safety standards.

Tailored Solutions

Drawing from extensive experience in the transport and logistics sectors, Rollerbed Systems LLC has developed its own pneumatic roller track. Engineered to prioritize safety, ease of installation, and reduced system weight, our track modules offer versatility with options such as narrow or wide rollers, various pitches, and even ball rollers for omnidirectional flow. All Rollerbed Systems LLC products are proudly manufactured in the USA, ensuring quality and reliability.

Powered Cargo Rollers

The Rollerbed Systems LLC Powered Cargo Roller unit represents a state-of-the-art solution for handling heavy loads. This self-contained, electrically powered drive roller features a durable polyurethane covering and operates seamlessly with vehicle onboard electrical systems of 12 or 24 volts DC. Utilizing low-pressure air, the roller effortlessly lifts against the underside of the load, ensuring secure movement.

Benefits

Versatile Applications

Initially designed for air cargo pallets, this powered roller unit offers precise control and versatility for various applications. Beyond airfreight, it serves effectively in production and assembly lines, facilitating the positioning of subassemblies or dedicated tooling with ease.

Automation and Reliability

Integration with a PLC control system enhances functionality, providing a fully automated and dependable drive system. Ideal for repetitive and unsupervised operations, this combination ensures efficient and reliable performance in diverse industrial settings. Rollerbed Systems LLC delivers a robust solution that meets the rigorous demands of modern logistics and manufacturing environments by focusing on these aspects.

Powered Slipchain

The Slipchain method revolutionizes load handling by extending the pneumatic roller track concept to chain conveyors. This advancement allows for safely and precisely moving palletized loads to their designated positions. Supported by minimal air pressure, an endless chain easily transports substantial cargo.

How It Helps

Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness

The Rollerbed Systems LLC’s Slipchain system combines efficiency with affordability. Powered by a robust 5 HP motor, reliable electronic controls, and a pendant, operators can effortlessly maneuver loads weighing up to 60,000 pounds into or out of vehicles. Integrated with a dock system, this solution enables rapid loading or unloading of a 53’ trailer in under two minutes, eliminating the need for forklifts in most scenarios.

Safety and Backup Controls

Mechanical push-pull controls, housed in a dedicated control box, are a reliable safety backup, ensuring operations remain secure and controlled. This comprehensive approach enhances operational safety and reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Powered T-Bar

The T-Bar system offers a highly efficient method for unloading entire pallet loads from a vehicle in one swift motion. A single track of duplex chain runs along the vehicle's center, with the T-Bar puller bar attached to pull the entire load onto an unloading dock or conveyor system. When paired with Rollerbed Systems LLC's pneumatic roller track, this system can unload a 53-foot trailer in under two minutes, significantly reducing turnaround times.

What to Expect

Versatile Design for

Enhanced Operations

Designed with versatility in mind, our T-Bar system allows forklifts to enter the vehicle for loading purposes when the rollers are in the down position. This design optimizes fleet utilization and minimizes downtime, ensuring vehicles are quickly prepared for subsequent trips compared to traditional manual forklift offloading methods.

Improved Efficiency

and Safety

Utilizing the T-Bar system reduces forklift traffic in the dock area, enhancing safety and efficiency. Pallets can be unloaded directly onto a dock-mounted conveyor system, further streamlining operations within automated production or storage environments.

Cost Savings and

Maintenance Benefits

The T-Bar system reduces trailer floor damage by eliminating the need for forklift trucks to enter the vehicle for offloading, thereby cutting maintenance and replacement costs. This approach also minimizes the expense associated with multiple forklifts and significantly enhances safety in the unloading area. The Rollerbed Systems LLC’s T-bar system represents a cost-effective solution for efficiently unloading unitized loads from trailers, ensuring optimized logistics operations and improved workplace safety.
