[QUOTE="8Keys, post: 1181687, member: 48236"] Yeah. Preload is a different beast, and it sounds like each building was designed a little bit different. Our unloaders have extendos with conveyors which take the boxes up to a larger belt. The sort aisle is a long walkway which runs along the side of that belt. There are also chutes which feed onto that belt for the bags from small sort, the package cars unloading in the evening, and missorts getting sent back by the loaders. So basically everything is going to this belt and there are quite a few sorters standing in that aisle. It would be possible to just let everything flow down that belt and have each sorter grab what he can. But usually we have bars across so that the flow from each truck goes to one or two sorters. So anyway, you have the packages coming to you on the belt on one side of the aisle, and on the other side of the aisle are two rows of belts moving away from the aisle which feed onto the belts for the different work areas. The bottom ones are very convenient. The top ones are about eye level for me. Usually it works pretty well but sometimes you get a truck full of 40-60 pound boxes and they are going to belts on the top row. [/QUOTE]
