Experts, is there any precedent in your company of using forklifts to load fertilizers directly onto trains?
Thread Content
Due to slow manual work and difficulties in recruiting staff. Switching to loading directly onto trains using forklifts is a trend. I wonder if the experts have set such a precedent before. The train car dimensions are 15.5*2.8. There are two stacking methods for fertilizers: five packs per layer and three packs per layer. I wonder if there’s any way to address the issue of insufficient space when the fertilizers are piled up by the door. The problem with the forklift not being able to turn. Seeking expert advice! 3Q
There are now companies that specialize in such loading machinery. Where are you located? How can I get in touch with them?
It was used in the past, but it was discontinued due to the non-standard carriages in China; now automatic loading and unloading systems from ABB are being used.

:L now uses ton bags for direct loading onto vehicles
Our company’s forklifts load the goods directly onto trains, which is very convenient and fast; moreover, the stacks are neatly arranged. Nowadays, packaging is done in a highly mechanized way, with the goods stacked by weight
However, as large manufacturers set up factories in other locations to serve the major grain-producing areas, road transport will remain the dominant mode of transportation in those areas; rail transport will gradually decrease, and it is likely that the cost of rail transport will rise
I also want to ask about the method of automatically loading or unloading trains? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find workers these days, and slowness is a growing trend. I have previously studied the use of net rope bales, but due to the long turnover time for compound fertilizers and the large amount of net rope required, the costs become too high to make it feasible. I ask fellow sailors to share their own experiences in this regard.
Does your company use green potassium? You might want to take a look at the way it is loaded; it comes with mesh bags that can be used for shipping the finished product, representing a form of reuse
