GALLON CART LOADER
Achieve significant labor savings and improve distribution efficiency with automatic loaders.
Knight Industrial's Gallon Cart Loader is an automated system that streamlines the loading of plastic gallon bottles onto Milk Bully carts. The equipment automatically adjusts to accommodate either 80 or 120-gallon carts, featuring a cart lift elevator and self-adjusting shelf reader that positions each shelf for loading. A rotary pusher mechanism places four bottles at a time onto a staging conveyor, which then transfers the product directly onto cart shelves via a constant-speed hydraulic cylinder.
