Published: 07/10/2023

Distribution hubs and logistics providers have a need for speed; the ability to move products and materials quickly and efficiently is at the core of their operational universe. These businesses are looking to the latest technologies to help them streamline their workflows and keep pace with customer demand.

One piece of equipment vital to their operation is the air cargo lift. Let’s learn more about how these versatile lifts support the supply chain and why Autoquip is the lift provider businesses turn to.

The Versatility of Air Cargo Lifts

Air cargo lifts are essential to the distribution and logistics verticals. They provide stable, programmable platforms that quickly and safely move goods from one elevation to another, eliminating time-consuming (and potentially dangerous) manual labor. They can handle a variety of loads – from light freight to oversized and heavy containers, vehicles, and unit load devices (ULDs), making them a key component in a wide range of operations.

These lifts are key to optimizing distribution centers, facilitating rapid loading, and unloading processes. Transferring loads can be complex, especially when considering variable truck bed and dock configurations. Thanks to their versatility, air cargo lifts help maintain a steady flow of operations, resulting in improved productivity, fewer service disruptions, and consistent on-time delivery rates – the critical success factors of any logistics organization.

The Advantages of Custom Manufacturing

Several of our competitors offer air cargo lift equipment, but Autoquip goes above and beyond with an extensive array of custom manufacturing options. We leverage our comprehensive design database to ensure that we can meet the unique specifications of your load requirements and dock design. When you select a custom lift, your options are truly limitless! Bring us your most complex lifting challenges (this customer did!); we specialize in designing solutions that exceed expectations.

Our air cargo lifts utilize high-capacity scissor lifts and are built to deliver years of durable, safe, reliable, and flexible service. In addition to our innovative custom designs, we offer a variety of safety and process-improving features, including superior structural steel construction, advanced controls, hydraulic redundancy, and manual stops and locks. An Autoquip air cargo lift customized for your environment can deliver the game-changing results that your business is looking for!

Helping You Grow

Our customized high-capacity air cargo lifts are helping our customers win in two very competitive industries. When dealing with high volumes, extreme weight and size requirements, demanding customers, and tight timelines, you need equipment capable of performing at the highest level; Autoquip delivers every time.

Are you considering expanding your services and taking on more customers? With over 75 years of experience, our team of engineers is ready to work with you to implement a new cargo lift strategy that supports the growth of your business.

Autoquip: Redefining Efficiency

The logistics and distribution sectors are poised to become increasingly complex as they work to respond to the needs of a constantly changing economic climate. As the lift industry leader, we continue to innovate, combining our deep-domain knowledge with new technologies that create efficiencies.

The Autoquip team is committed to providing exceptional lifting solutions that position your organization to operate successfully and profitably. We’re ready to discuss your project and how we can help your business. Contact us for your free quote today!
