Manufacturing Industry - Container Handling Case Study

General Motors Holden - Engine Factory

Before using a Mobicon, containers were unloaded by a forklift, on a container pad.  The goods were then loaded on a trolley.  A tractor would take the trolleys to the factories, as the yard was not suitable for the forklift. 

Now, the Mobicon brings a loaded container to the factories, thus reducing double handling of the freight, and eliminating the tractors and trolleys.

Savings

  • Five tractor drivers employed elsewhere.
  • Tractors and trailers stood down.
  • GMH achieved a high return on investment.

Other Benefits

  • The goods stay out of the weather.
  • Less freight damage, as the goods are only handled once.
  • Less traffic in the yard - safer operations.
  • Increased efficiency in the factories - goods straight out of the container onto the production line.
