[QUOTE="j13501, post: 3250447, member: 918"] Boxlines are used in hubs, because the hold a lot of packages that can be sorted into the boxlines during hub sorts. That saves "re-loading" preload packages into trailers that were sorted during the hub sorts. The boxlines slowly revolve so that preloaders can pull packages from a cage and load their cars. I believe the Saddlebrook building uses a slide-to-car system (at least they did). Slide to car is the most productive system because preloaders can load from an accumulation of packages. They just don't hold a lot of volume so are not the best idea for large hubs. You will also see slide to car in large package center building where there are no hub sorts. Most smaller centers use the belt to car system. Easy to use, not much expense to build or operate. [/QUOTE]
