QuickLoadz at the OSU Farm Science Review

    QuickLoadz is attending The Ohio State University’s Farm Science Review 2019 in Columbus, Ohio. The show starts today, Tuesday September 17th, and runs through Thursday September 19th.

    QuickLoadz will be in Exhibit Area 74 featuring the 20k Super Bed and 60k Super High 40 models.

    • The 20k Super Bed offers great versatility with its 50° tilting bed for dumping container contents like a dump truck, optional tow package for moving tractors and equipment, and self-unloading flatbed.
    • The 60k Super High 40 can move a fully loaded 40′ container full of grain, corn, wheat, and other crops, or two 20′ containers with the optional Dual 20′ Container Package.
    • The standard shipping container provides a low cost, secure, safe way to store your crop for long periods of time—every shipping container is an air-tight, water-tight, bug and rodent-tight steel safe. Specialty containers can dry crops inside the container.

    QuickLoadz for Agriculture

    At harvest:

    Time is money, and the one thing farmers don’t have a lot of. Minutes count.

    Save time and money.

    Move to QuickLoadz with sea shipping containers for harvest.

    1. Using a QuickLoadz trailer, drop cheap $1,000 wind and water tight containers field-side whenever convenient. A day, a week, or a month ahead of time.
    2. Unload the crop straight from harvestor to the containers. Close the doors. Containers are cheap; water, rodent, and insect resistant; giant steel vaults.
    3. If you need more storage, buy another container—cheap, practically indestructible, and you spread out your risk to many steel boxes.
    4. When convenient, using your QuickLoadz, pick up loaded containers from the fieldside. Your schedule, not the grain container’s, not the weather’s.

    No waiting on grain trailers.

    No worrying about it raining on your grain trailers. No silos.

    Plus: Some QuickLoadz customers are drying their crops in containers they modified. Some QuickLoadz customers are moving their crops straight from field side to rail.

    But QuickLoadz has so much more to offer.

    Dual 20′ Container Locking Pins

    An automated container mover.

    Three minutes. Never leave the seat in the truck. You see all those containers everywhere. From the back of a Walmart to a job site. Every single container needs moved. With a QuickLoadz, you have the only automatic system to move them.

    With QuickLoadz, you have the only automatic system to move loaded containers. Fully freight compatible, loading dock accessible. What to do in your down time? Make money doing what no one else can.

    A flatbed.

    But not a regular flatbed, QuickLoadz is a flatbed that can unload itself.

    An equipment mover.

    QuickLoadz is an equipment mover. With a 38 HP EFI engine behind it and 30,000 pounds of pulling force, those drive chains will pull just about anything up on that bed.

    A dump truck.

    The truck version of QuickLoadz is not only a rollback tow truck, it is a dump truck. Top that.

    With QuickLoadz, Wait Times Go From 3 Hours To 3 Minutes

      We estimated that detention is associated with reductions in annual earnings of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion for for-hire commercial motor vehicle drivers in the truckload sector.

      The Department of Transportation, 2018. Link.

      DAT research revealed that 63 percent of drivers spend more than three hours waiting for their trucks to be loaded or unloaded on average, often leading to the missing subsequent loads as a result.

      DAT, 2016. Link.

      Save a billion dollars. Buy a QuickLoadz.

      Loading dock wait times are just part of the savings, probably the smallest part.

      QuickLoadz builds the only trailer in the world that can, all by itself, load and unload full sea shipping containers without the driver ever leaving their seat in the truck cab in three minutes. Entire 60,000 lb. loads can be picked up and delivered. No waiting on loading docks. With the container and its merchandise sitting on the ground, loading docks aren’t needed.

      Turn 3+ hours wait into 3 minutes. Eliminate loading docks, eliminate accidents.

      QuickLoadz. Safe, fast, simple, cheap, versatile.

      Another Hurricane

        Another hurricane, thousands of containers and trucks rolling into Florida. All of those supplies, all of those trucks waiting. If only there was a freight company with QuickLoadz. Every emergency that company would save FEMA millions. Supplies at ground level where they are needed already in a mini warehouse.

        With QuickLoadz, full sea shipping containers can be picked up and dropped off in 3 minutes without any external equipment.

        This means that for the first time ever, containers can be cheap portable warehouses. Containers are wind and water tight, so 90% of the world’s freight travels in them.

        Portable, cheap, dynamic warehouses are handy for anyone—but especially in emergency situations.

        Fleets of trucks with relief supplies get sent into disaster zones. Fleets of trucks, drivers, and relief supplies sit idling waiting to be unloaded.

        Line of FEMA trucks backed up on the road.

        But where you do unload in the middle of a disaster? With what? Everything is 4′ off the ground in truck beds and in pallets. This picture from the Hurricane Maria disaster shows containers full of supplies sitting on chassis, no way to distribute, nowhere to unload.

        With QuickLoadz, containers become the ground level portable warehouse.

        People unloading hurricane relief supplies from a shipping container on the ground.

        Logistics become simple, fast, and cheap.

        Drop the container full of supplies where you need it, when you need it. Driver, truck, and trailer leave in 3 minutes.

        • Load the containers ahead of time, containers don’t care about rain. The containers are the warehouse. Safe, flexible, secure warehouse, wherever you need it.
        • Using QuickLoadz, pick up the loaded containers from ground level with no other equipment needed.
        • Using QuickLoadz, drop the loaded containers at ground level, no need to unload, the container keeps the supplies dry, safe, and secure.
        • No fleets of trailers and trucks that have to be loaded and unloaded. Where do you unload? The supplies are 4′ off the ground stuck in a dry freight van. Not with QuickLoadz and containers. Drop containers loaded with supplies at ground level, leave, bring back more.

        How To Move A $250,000 Container Full Of Delicate Equipment?

          With a QuickLoadz of course. One of our customers builds aircraft landing systems into 20′ sea shipping containers. As you can imagine, they are expensive and delicate.

          Our LiftWedges pick up one side of the container 6″, then the Dual Drive Chains pull the truck under the container. No dragging the container or the back of the truck or trailer under the container. No dragging the container or the back of the truck on the gravel or asphalt. With a push of the button the container is locked on and ready to go. No chains, no straps, no winches, no cranes. Fast, safe, easy, cheap.

          If QuickLoadz can move a containerized aircraft landing system, I think we can move anything you need.

          Who Unloads The Self-Driving Truck?

            FreightWaves: Daimler ramps up self-driving truck efforts, launches global autonomous group.

            Lots of companies are betting big on the self-driving truck. But the truck doesn’t move freight, the trailer does.

            There is only one company in the world that builds a trailer that can automatically load or unload a 60,000 lb. container all by itself in three minutes. There is only one company in the world that is poised to revolutionize freight and logistics.

            QuickLoadz is so advanced that it operates from the driver’s smart phone. It is so automated that the driver never has to leave their seat in the truck cab.

            That means that QuickLoadz is an off-the-shelf solution for autonomous delivery of 60,000 lb. containers full of merchandise.

            QuickLoadz exists now, is picking up and delivering full sea shipping containers every day all over the world.

            Whomever marries QuickLoadz with the autonomous truck wins freight.

            Customer Success Story: Scaffolding Company

              I have a mom and pop scaffolding company that bought a QuickLoadz a while ago.

              They are good at math, and so it was an easy sale. They used to have a fleet of box trucks and lots of warehouse space. Now they have one QuickLoadz and cheap, cheap storage containers.

              Containers are so cheap that they keep common job sizes of scaffolding in containers. They keep all of their containers sitting on the ground so they can just shuffle from one container to another to make exactly what goes to a job. They can load a job a week in advance because it isn’t like having a box truck tied up for a week, it’s just a $1,000 container sitting on the gravel waiting to take its load to the next job.

              Now, instead of constantly loading from their warehouse into box trucks, then unloading scaffolding from a box truck 4′ off of the ground at a job site, they just pick up the pre-loaded container from their gravel lot, drop it off on the job site, and access it from ground level. No more needing the warehouse space for stacks of scaffolding. Now they use their warehouse space for repairing and making new scaffolding. Plus, the containers work out to $3/sq. ft., whereas the warehouse space is $30/sq. ft. They don’t pay property tax on the containers. They don’t pay insurance on the containers. As they get more business, they just buy more $3/sq. ft. containers instead of building more $30/sq. ft. warehouse.

              Then they got the bright idea to lease the container to the contractor after they unloaded their scaffolding. Now they are getting paid to have a 8′ × 20′ billboard for their scaffolding company on these job sites. Then, they started leasing containers to contractors whether they were renting scaffolding or not. They already had a customer base to market to. They instantly added a whole new line of business without trying. Great ROI on renting containers, plus, they still get paid to have their scaffolding company billboard on the job site. They are going to move into container job site offices next.

              They are looking to expand by simply renting gravel lots in nearby towns. They don’t need to rent a warehouse, they don’t need loading docks any more. With QuickLoadz, they can move jobs around easily, expand easily. 3 minutes to move a loaded container, without the driver ever leaving their seat in the truck cab.

              Amazing. Made me smile when they told me about it.

              How many trucks and how much warehouse space can QuickLoadz eliminate for your business?

              I Did It; Everyone Did

                When there was nothing else available, everyone bought the old fashioned tilt and tow trailer that someone has welded a couple of side rails on and called a container mover.

                What else were you going to do? But things have changed. Now, there is a trailer designed to move sea shipping containers.

                Why would you buy a trailer designed to move cars instead of a trailer designed to move containers?

                If you were a tow company and maybe 95% of what you did involved towing cars, then maybe, just maybe, it would be worthwhile buying a tow trailer instead. I say maybe, because QuickLoadz can:

                1. Also tow cars.
                2. See what’s behind you with its Wi-Fi rearview camera.
                3. Control itself with smartphone remote control hydraulics, entirely from the cab of the truck.
                4. Unload itself of pallets, cars, car parts, etc. with an optional tow bar.
                5. Use twice the power of any other trailer on the market with its 38 HP Kohler EFI engine. Technically, it is probably the only trailer you can operate legally in CARB states. An EFI engine is required in California and 12 others, with more being added every year.
                6. Come factory ordered with hot dip galvanizing. Really, what destroys a trailer faster than rust? What is a better rust protection than dipping an entire trailer into molten zinc?

                But you don’t spend 95% of your time moving cars, you spend 99% of your time moving containers. So buy the only trailer in the world that can:

                1. Automatically move loaded sea shipping containers. No other company in the world is close to being able to offer this, and you can have it now.
                2. Automatically, at the press of a button, lock that container onto the trailer. How lazy would your driver have to be not to do that?
                3. Not destroy the customer’s asphalt or concrete by dragging the container and/or the trailer bed across it. QuickLoadz floats on big rollers. What is that expense?
                4. Legally move loaded containers. You know those office containers you move? Illegal, unless it is entirely loaded on the trailer. Federal law dictates all four corners on the trailer, secured by the corner castings. We have picked up a couple of customers who have discovered this the hard way—at a weigh station, accompanied by a huge fine. This fine alone is worth more than the price difference between even the most janky bottom of the barrel trailer and QuickLoadz. Let alone, you can no longer move office containers without the risk of another fine.

                Mobile storage companies that have bought QuickLoadz have seen production double, and driver retention is at 100%. Try topping that with some trailer that hasn’t changed since 1972.

                Last, we are within a couple of thousand dollars of other serious commercial trailer manufacturers, like Landoll. I know you can buy a Landoll knockoff for a lot less, but then you have a cheap knock-off tow trailer masquerading as a container mover.

                Bottom line: If you move containers, it simply makes no sense to buy anything other than QuickLoadz.

                Unmet Demand

                  Mobile Mini, the nation’s largest mobile storage business, can’t move loaded sea shipping containers either for customers or themselves. This is huge unmet demand.

                  Two of the emails we received one day last week were people looking to move loaded sea shipping containers in different parts of the country. What is slightly different from the hundreds of emails like this that we receive is they both deal with the largest container rental company in the United States, Mobile Mini.

                  First from a contractor:

                  Hi David,

                   

                  I really appreciate that, thank you so much for the info. The container we have on site is a Mobile Mini container, and that’s exactly the issue—they won’t move it loaded, we will need a container on the new site, and we still need to move the items to the new location—trying to find an efficient and somewhat economical way to achieve these goals.

                  Corporate & Project Operations Coordinator

                  Contractors everywhere have this problem.

                  They don’t want to unload a container, put all the stuff into a truck, store it at a warehouse, pay to get the container moved, reload a truck, then unload it into the container at the new site. Yet, unless they have a crane or access to something similar, that is what they have to do. If only they had a QuickLoadz… or if only they could call someone who has a QuickLoadz.

                  This second email is actually from someone looking to have loaded 20′ containers moved for them:

                  Sean,

                  [Redacted] gave me your contact information. I am looking for pricing on freight from [redacted] for loaded 20 ft storage containers (8X20′). They will be loaded full in [redacted] and will be coming to my ops yard in [redacted].

                  I am interested in shipping (2) 20 footers at a time.

                  Can I have pricing on this request?

                  Thank you!

                  Best regards,

                  [Redacted]

                  [redacted]@mobilemini.com

                  That email is from Mobile Mini. If the nation’s largest storage company can’t move loaded sea shipping containers, not only for their customers but for themselves, there is real opportunity there.

                  Buy a QuickLoadz, move empty containers, move cars and equipment and freight, but most of all…

                  Do what no one else can do and move loaded sea shipping containers. Competition is for losers.

                  Have 100 seconds to see how to move two 20′ containers on a 40′ bed?

                  - Sean

                  1 + 1 = 60,000. Math a VC Understands.

                    How does one unique new piece of hardware added to one other unique new piece of hardware allow someone to win freight and logistics?

                    A QuickLoadz trailer at an angle with freight loaded on the bed.

                    One QuickLoadz.

                    It has to be QuickLoadz. No other company in the world makes a trailer that can automatically move loaded sea shipping containers.

                    Plus one autonomous truck.

                    Lots of choices coming up—maybe ten different companies doing this.

                    Equals 60,000 pounds of merchandise moved from anywhere to anywhere without anyone touching it.

                    That’s a revolution. Win freight, or watch someone else do it.

                    QuickLoadz Buys Penske Fleet Trucks

                      QuickLoadz has bought used Penske fleet trucks to turn into QuickLoadz Super Bed trucks.

                      Two of the Penske trucks.
                      Two of the Penske trucks QuickLoadz purchased at auction.

                      I got a really good deal on 2014 Penske box trucks that were coming out of their fleet. I bought all of them. These trucks are all in great shape. They have around 180,000 miles, Cummins diesels, automatic transmissions, fully working 26,000 pound GVW, so no CDL required. We even have the oil and fluid tests on every truck.

                      That means I can put brand new 2020 20k Super Beds on these trucks and offer you for the ridiculously low price of $68,000. Some of these Super Beds will be done with Hot Dip Galvanizing for $4,000 extra, some with paint.

                      We have the only system designed specifically to move containers.

                      QuickLoadz has automatic hydraulic locks, a built-in rear view camera, and remote control that works from the driver’s smartphone; the whole system is so automated you really don’t have to get out of the truck to load a container, all standard.

                      Of course it can be used like a tow truck, an equipment trailer, and a flatbed. The bed itself slides out like a rollback tow truck to give a low loading angle when you need it. One of my favorite features of the truck version is the 50° tilt angle. The tilt not only gives you a dump truck, but it allows you to get really close to a container and still grab it when there is not much room.

                      Place an order for the 20k Super Bed at (888) 304-3946 ext 0 and it’ll come on one of these trucks.

                      Loading a container without any room:

                      It also shows using the hooks as quick chain pulls if you need to pull a container in position to grab it.

                      This is our contractor video to show some of the versatility:

                      This shows how it works in just one minute:
