[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 937445, member: 16334"] Sure, they will incorperate a boxline into large HUBS. It's been around for many years. Smaller buildings will run mostly on a belt, rollers. When I was in Washington state, the buildings up there were smaller then our entire boxline. So the need for one in small centers are un-needed. I was loading a house at one point. This was stright rollers. It's kind've like belts, but belts usally run in circles. Missing a package isnt a big deal. Well on rollers, you miss one you need to go get it. Also, theres only two speeds in a house with rollers. Theres a ton, and two, completely crushed. There is no slow speed of a house. There are stright belts aswell. These are the worst of the worst. At our building, the floor next to the boxline is a secured belt. It is used to shuttle off pickups to repo. We'll use this belt once a year, for UPS days off during peak. It is the worst it will ever get. You cant walking into the car to load it, stacking out is the only option. The newer buildings have direct package feeding. The package comes to you, very efficient. Buildings that have this in place never have missloads. Computers scan and slap the package and it makes its journey to the correct car, simple and easy. There was a time when our building was going to have this put in, but our pervious assiant building manager was a little off upstairs. The places that have it often boast a 99-100% efficiency rating, why wouldnt they have them in place every where, is beyond me. [/QUOTE]
