Equipment and methods for supporting the loading and unloading of cargo by trailers and automated guide vehicles.

Abstract

The objective is to provide equipment and methods that effectively support the loading and unloading of cargo by trailers and automated guide vehicles. [Solution] The facility 100 includes an inbound compartment IA, a cargo detection device 10, a cargo lifting device 20, a cargo moving device 30, and an outbound compartment OA. The inbound compartment IA has an inbound position P1 and a set position P2. The cargo detection device 10 is installed in the inbound compartment IA and is used to detect cargo 1 at the inbound position P1. The cargo lifting device 20 is installed in the inbound compartment IA, and when cargo 1 is at the inbound position P1, the cargo lifting device 20 lifts cargo 1 from the inbound position P1 to the set position P2. The cargo moving device 30 is next to the cargo lifting device 20. When cargo 1 is at the set position P2, the cargo moving device 30 receives cargo 1 at the set position P2 and moves cargo 1 out along the inbound direction M. The outbound compartment OA is adjacent to the inbound compartment IA. Cargo 1 is received in the outbound compartment OA and moved out to an automated guided vehicle (AGV).
