Senad Telescopic Conveyor (Telescopic Conveyor)

A fixed conveyor is exactly as long as the day you ordered it, while a loading job never is. The Senad Telescopic Conveyor (Telescopic Conveyor) answers that mismatch by adding a telescopic mechanism to an ordinary belt conveyor, so the length can be set freely to the size of the site and to the demand of the moment.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

The Senad range and where this conveyor sits

Senad is the brand behind a wide line of logistics and robotics equipment, from palletizing robots and automated guided vehicles to vision workstations and DWS lines. You can see the wider range in the Senad category. The telescopic conveyor is the simplest member of that family to understand, and often the first one a warehouse manager asks about, because it works at the point where goods meet vehicles.

It is offered in four models: TBC2S-6/4, TBC3S-6/8, TBC4S-6/12 and TBC5S-6/14. The numbers in each code follow the pattern of the lengths in the table below. Each model has a retracted length of 6,000mm, and the extended length grows from model to model.

How the telescopic mechanism changes a belt conveyor

An ordinary belt conveyor moves goods from one point to another along a fixed line. Add a telescopic mechanism and the conveyor can reach into a vehicle body, then pull back when the job is done. The manufacturer describes the idea in just those terms: the telescopic length is adjusted freely according to the site size and the actual demand.

Around that mechanism the conveyor keeps the features a working dock needs. The belt is reversible, so the same machine can load and unload. The belt speed is adjustable from 0 to 36M/minute. A hydraulic system adjusts the tilt from 0 to +5°. The frame is stainless steel, and the belt material is listed as PVC, PU, rubber or steel rubber.

How do the four models differ from one another?

The first thing that separates the models is reach. All four retract to 6,000mm, but the extended length runs from 4,000mm on the TBC2S-6/4 to 8,000mm on the TBC3S-6/8, 12,000mm on the TBC4S-6/12 and 14,000mm on the TBC5S-6/14. Total length follows, from 10,000mm up to 20,000mm. A short model suits a shallow vehicle body or a tight dock, and a long one reaches deep into a container or trailer.

The second difference is the physical size of the machine. Height climbs from 750mm to 1,200mm, and conveyor width from 1,380mm to 1,530mm. Weight grows from 2T to 5T. The driven motor grows with it, from 1.5KW on the TBC2S-6/4 to 2.2KW, 3.0KW and 4.0KW on the larger models.

What does not change is just as useful to know. Every model offers a belt width of 600mm or 800mm, a reversible belt, a belt speed of 0~36M/minute, a capacity of 60kg/meter and hydraulic tilting from 0 to +5°. Choosing a model is therefore mainly a question of reach and site, not of features.

Why choose a telescopic conveyor instead of a fixed one?

A fixed conveyor stops at the dock door, and the last stretch into the vehicle is carried by hand. A telescopic conveyor extends into the vehicle and retracts afterwards, so the dock stays clear between jobs. The retracted length of 6,000mm on every model keeps the machine compact when it is not working.

Because the length can be adjusted to the site size and the actual demand, one machine can serve vehicles of different depths. The adjustable belt speed lets the operator match the pace of the people loading or unloading, and the reversible belt means one unit handles both directions. The hydraulic tilt of 0 to +5° helps when the dock and the vehicle bed do not line up exactly.

Who is the Senad Telescopic Conveyor for?

The manufacturer states that the conveyor is mainly used in vehicle loading and unloading and in material transfer systems with telescopic requirements. That points to a few clear groups of buyers.

Warehouse and distribution operators that load and unload trucks all day will see the benefit first. Ports, import businesses and wholesalers that handle goods arriving in containers or trailers can use the reach to shorten the carry. Factories that move material between a production area and a vehicle, or between two points of varying distance, can set the length to the job.

For a shallow vehicle body and limited floor space, the TBC2S-6/4 is the natural place to start. For deep containers and trailers, look at the TBC4S-6/12 or the TBC5S-6/14. The TBC3S-6/8 sits between them. If you are unsure, send us the vehicle depth and dock layout with your quotation request.

What is the Senad Telescopic Conveyor used for?

1. Truck loading. The extended conveyor carries goods deep into the vehicle body, so they are not hand-carried the whole way.
2. Truck unloading. With the belt reversed, goods come out of the vehicle and back to the dock.
3. Material transfer. It links two points in a transfer system where the distance between them changes.
4. Container and trailer work. Longer models reach further in, and the length is set to the vehicle.
5. Uneven dock levels. The hydraulic tilt of 0 to +5° adjusts the belt angle to the job.
6. Speed-matched handling. The belt speed is adjustable from 0 to 36M/minute, so the pace can follow the crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far does the conveyor extend?

The extended length is 4,000mm on the TBC2S-6/4, 8,000mm on the TBC3S-6/8, 12,000mm on the TBC4S-6/12 and 14,000mm on the TBC5S-6/14. The retracted length is 6,000mm on all four.

Can the belt run in both directions?

Yes. The belt direction is reversible on all four models, so one conveyor can be used for loading and unloading.

What belt widths are available?

The belt width is 600mm or 800mm on every model.

How much can it carry?

The capacity is 60kg/meter on every model.

Can the speed and angle be changed?

The belt speed is adjustable from 0 to 36M/minute. The tilting is adjustable by hydraulic from 0 to +5°.

What are the frame and belt made of?

The frame is stainless steel. The belt material is listed as PVC, PU, rubber or steel rubber.

Where can I buy the Senad Telescopic Conveyor and what does it cost?

It is available through this page, by quotation. The cost depends on the model and your site, so send us your requirements and we will prepare a quotation.

Summary

A loading job changes from one vehicle to the next, and the Senad Telescopic Conveyor is built for that. It extends into the vehicle, retracts afterwards, and keeps a reversible belt, adjustable speed and hydraulic tilt along the way. Four models cover reaches from 4,000mm to 14,000mm of extension, with motors from 1.5KW to 4.0KW. For a quotation on the model that fits your dock, this page is the starting point.
