Autofeeder
New Innovations in Pallet Handling
Warehouses, distribution centers and other material handling operations are facing ever-increasing challenges. Labor shortages, stricter safety regulations, and higher costs mean automation is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s becoming more of an essential for success.
The Southworth Autofeeder automates tasks that previously required skilled operators and manual labor. In an integrated system, the Autofeeder is positioned in front of a conveyer line. Pallets are placed on the Autofeeder, which lifts the pallets and transfers them onto the conveyor.
With the Southworth Autofeeder, you can save time, reduce the potential for workplace accidents, and maximize uptime—helping your operations stay efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
