London Gateway Tech to Cut Truck Waiting Times
A new fully automated stacking system at London Gateway could soon transform truck turnaround times.
Using BOXBAY’s high-bay storage technology, the £170 million project will store empty containers up to 16 tiers high, freeing up yard space, reducing re-handling, and improving efficiency at one of Britain’s busiest ports.
The new Empty Superstack, developed by BOXBAY, a joint venture between DP World and Germany’s SMS group, will use High Bay Storage (HBS) technology to handle empty containers inside a fully enclosed, automated facility.
The system can store 20- and 40-foot units and retrieve them automatically for onward transport, operating much like a vending machine for containers.
According to DP World, removing multiple tiers of empty containers from the automated stacking crane yard will allow ASCs to work more efficiently across the quay, speeding up truck operations and reducing waiting times.
