[QUOTE="pgraening, post: 53876"] Believe it or not, our smalls sort is incredibly out-dated. I'm not a sorter, but an unloader, but the belt that smalls bags that need to be sorted at our hub go onto is at about waist level. There are other belts above your head, and we do get bags that have to be sorted to them, but usually never the heavy ones. One of the things we unloaders have talked about, is the fact that a lot of the heavy bags seem to come from the more automated hubs than our own. So the question is, is the difference between a more automated small sort, and our old-fashioned, person-filling-the-bag small sort a good one? When our small sort people are filling bags they're never overfilling them, because they still need to carry them six feet to a return belt. But in the newer hubs (our facility is nearing 50 years-and it's still standing) I would imagine everything is more automated. So, is the automation less sensitive to weight? [/QUOTE]
