It is 4° out, the wind is blowing, snow is coming down. Straps are frozen solid, chains are untouchable without gloves. Why is Jim smiling?
Because on Jim’s new QuickLoadz, the Lift Wedges raise the container right out of the frozen ground.
Because on Jim’s new QuickLoadz, the drive chains go into the corner castings, and pull on the container without Jim getting out of the truck.
Because on Jim’s new QuickLoadz, Jim doesn’t need straps or chains; the hydraulic locks do it all.
Jim is smiling. In arctic weather, he loaded a heavy container in two minutes without leaving the warmth of the truck cabin. Yayyy, Jim.
Why aren’t you smiling?
Replace that old tow bed with a Quickloadz. QuickLoadz can do everything it does anyway, QuickLoadz is a container mover first, but also a tow trailer.
Plus the rearview camera, the 40 HP EFI Kohler engine, the cell phone remote control—and on the truck versions, you also get a dump truck.
Smile while you remember the bad old days of going outside the truck to load a container.
Who will win freight? Whomever marries the self driving truck with QuickLoadz.
QuickLoadz is the only system in the world that can be made to autonomously load and unload sea shipping containers. QuickLoadz exists today. QuickLoadz is moving containers all over the world today. QuickLoadz is so automated that the driver never leaves their seat in the cab of the truck.
Fast, light, safe, simple, versatile, sturdy and cheap.
The way to truly revolutionize freight exists in a home grown, high tech, heavy manufacturing company in South Eastern Ohio.
Imagine that you had the time, experience and resources to build, rebuild, refine, work a trailer to simply, safely do its job perfectly. That is what QuickLoadz is. At QuickLoadz, we move containers every day—empty, loaded. We have customers all over the world talking to us giving constant feedback.
At QuickLoadz we have the time, machinery, money, and experience to build the perfect trailer for moving sea shipping containers. So we do. We don’t build any other kind of trailer.
At QuickLoadz, design is everything. We build our trailers with CNC cut and bent sheet steel instead of off the shelf channel, and beam steel.
What do I mean by custom cut and bent flat steel vs off the shelf pre-formed steel? Preformed steel comes in specific sizes and is formed at the steel mill. Design is limited to what you can do with those sizes.
With custom cut and bent steel, design is not limited to what you can buy off the shelf.
Holes for hoses, wiring, bolt placement are exactly where you want them, what size you want them, and exact as only a CNC cut and bend can create.
You can create almost any shape you need, in almost any dimension you need. If you need a Z beam at 5 3/16” to make everything fit perfect, you have it.
Not only are perfect custom shapes easy, change is easy. You discover that if you make a beam 1/2” wider, then you can add a feature. Done.
With custom cut and bent steel, you don’t need stitch welding.
Most trailers are constructed with off the shelf channel, angle, and I beams. In trailers, these off the shelf steel channel are not welded the entire length for good reason. If you continuously weld, then you fight warping the steel with heat. For a 40’ trailer, you would end up welding hundreds of feet of steel—just for the side rails. Instead, side rails are stitch welded.
Stitch welding means that instead of welding along the entire length where steel beams come together, they are just welded in places. Often times, between welds is filled in with caulk to try to stop water infiltration. With stitch welding, you also introduce heat stress. If you stitch weld 2 pieces of steel together, it is not nearly as strong as if it were one piece of steel. Under continuous flexing, it will crack at the welds.
At QuickLoadz, our side rails are one continuously bent piece of steel. No heat warp, no heat stress, no stitch welding; just a strong, perfectly shaped piece. Lighter, stronger, no gaps for water to sit and rust to form.
QuickLoadz trailers are built to last, with every single part of the design carefully considered.
We made QuickLoadz to be the multi-use, Swiss Army Knife of trucks, but this is a new one.
We have a contractor who uses a military truck version of the 20k Super Bed. They deliver containers with it, they use it as a dump truck, they use it to move equipment.
But what is new? The first time a QuickLoadz bed was used as a bridge.
They had to clear land for a surveyor; they had their BobCat skidsteer with a brush hog on front.
But the bridge to the back of the property was out. Ten foot drop to the creek bed.
Didn’t stop them—they backed up to the edge of where the bridge used to be, slid the bed back, and used the QuickLoadz bed as a bridge.
The Bobcat is loaded on the QuickLoadz bed.
The QuickLoadz bed slides backwards, crossing the chasm.
Every day at QuickLoadz, we get emails and calls like this one:
QuickLoadz is the only fast, safe, light, cheap way to move empty or loaded sea shipping containers without a giant crane or forklift. No one wants the chassis, they want the container and the merchandise in it. The very first drayage company that adopts it will be able to name their price for moving loaded containers.
I was at CONEXPO 2017 for 5 days in Las Vegas last week. It was my first time and I had no appreciation of just how huge the show is. 2000+ exhibitors and over 150,000 attendees. It was an excellent chance to talk to lots and lots of people from trailer manufacturers, to government buyers, contractors, hydraulics suppliers, everyone. One of the main reasons I went was to see if anyone had come up another sea container moving system. There wasn’t one. QuickLoadz is still it.
There is a great deal of competition in the trailer markets. Although different manufacturers put their own innovations and production values in their products, essentially there are a lot of companies making very similar products, which means there is downward pressure on price, as price becomes the only distinguishing factor. The advantage QuickLoadz has is there is nothing else like it. There is no other system designed for moving sea shipping containers. Flatbed trailers can’t load or unload themselves. Tilt trailers are not designed for moving containers and don’t do it well; tilt trailer manufacturers do not recommend moving loaded containers with their products.
QuickLoadz is the only system designed to take advantage of the fast growing market for moving ISO sea shipping containers. With its patents granted in the US, Canada, the EU, Australia, and China, we are positioned to stay far in the lead. QuickLoadz is unique, is half the price of side lift crane trailers, is lighter, faster, safer, works with loading docks, requires little to no training, and has less than half the operating costs of side lift cranes.
I feel good about the future of QuickLoadz. Maybe I should raise prices…
We used to make a non-CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) trailer with a 16,000 lb GVWR. The littlest QuickLoadz. It was made for the mobile storage industry, for someone who wants to be able to move empty or lightly loaded containers without needing a CDL.
If you have a truck over 26,000 lbs GVWR you need a CDL. Or, if the truck GVWR and the trailer GVWR are over 26,000 lbs AND if the trailer GVWR is over 10,000 lbs you need a CDL. That is an important AND. So, you can have a 26,000 lb GVWR truck towing an 8,000 lb GVWR trailer and be fine. We used to make a two axle, four wheel, 16,000 lb GVWR trailer that people could pull with a pickup truck—a 10,000 lb truck plus a 16,000 lb trailer is less than 26,001 lbs, so it’s okay—but people constantly overloaded it. They would take a container full of plywood (the QuickLoadz would load it) then blow tires as they went down the highway. We stopped making the 16,000 GVWR trailer, which is too bad; I really liked it. You could still (literally) put a ton of stuff in the container and be fine. But it was a problem and not worth the risk of people constantly overloading it.
After telling customers for a year that we no longer make a 16,000 lb GVWR trailer, the obvious solution occurred to me. Now if someone wants a 16,000 lb GVWR trailer, we just derate the 24,000 lb GVWR trailer. By derating the same trailer to 16,000 lb GVWR, they can pull it with a pickup truck, they still have eight wheels under them, and it is a lot less likely they will overload it, blow tires, and kill someone.
