Facilities can load or unload trailers in as little as five minutes, far faster than traditional forklift methods.
Adaptable configurations make the Freight Runner system a valuable tool for handling pallets in a range of environments, from warehousing and 3PLs to assembly lines and vehicle or trailer interiors. A“ drop‐in” chain and runner conveyor design simplifies installation and integrates with existing infrastructure, and the modular system is easy to install without major overhauls or construction. Trailers can also be equipped so the system operates independently using electrical or hydraulic power, extending the benefits of automated dock‐to‐trailer conveying to off‐dock locations.
Featuring corrosion‐resistant roller chains and engineered for minimal maintenance, Freight Runner is built for long service life in demanding environments. In refrigerated docks, shortened load and unload times help reduce door‐open duration, supporting better temperature control and energy efficiency across cold‐chain operations. As an industry leader in material handling innovation, KEITH Manufacturing Co. is redefining dock‐to‐trailer automation with the Freight Runner system, helping customers set new benchmarks for safety and efficiency.
