Average savings when unloading a trailer at the inboud cross-dock

The cross-docking process for B2B can be carried out significantly more efficiently if the forklifts are equipped with KOOI® ReachForks. In the calculation sheet below, we provide an example of potential savings based on substantiated time reductions. This calculation is based on the unloading and loading of several randomly selected trailers using two identical forklifts, one equipped with standard forks and the other with KOOI® ReachForks. To maintain consistency, the same forklift operator was used in both scenarios.

Discover how this calculation was developed in collaboration with logistics provider Veenstra|Fritom.
