With the exponential growth in imports and exports all over the world, there is no question that soon India, with its developing economy, will be the hub of world trade. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), “Freight traffic on airports in India has shown an impressive growth rate of 7.5% in the last 15 years to reach from 1.4 to 3.56 million MT and has potential to cross over 17 million tonnes over next two decades”. Air cargo transport has become imperative to meet immediate demand and supply. The Important factor for the Freight companies is material handling operations. The primary solution for the movement of ULD (Unit Load Device) is BALL DECKS.
But, what is a Ball Deck?
A ball deck is a full mechanic transport platform consisting of an MS frame provided with transfer balls and an anti-slip walkway. These transfer balls make it effortless to glide heavy loads weighing above 10 Tons over the ball deck platform
Companies like DHL, FedEx, Bluedart have successfully installed Ball Decks in their docking area. The results were promising, leading to an increase in productivity, most importantly, gaining customer loyalty.
Why are Ball decks unique in handling heavy material?
- Ball decks are multi-directional, i.e., ULD can be rotated and pushed in all directions (360º).
- No need for any electric components.
- It is capable of handling ULDs weighing up to 10 tonnes.
- Rugged design that minimises wear and tears in both ULDs and Ball Decks
The global market value of material handling solutions is expected to surpass 200 billion from the existing 140 billion in 2025 (gminsights report). The cost of the product only is not enough to satisfy the customer nowadays, as speedy delivery plays a major role in increasing the overall productivity of the warehouse. Air cargo companies need to meet the market demand with timely delivery. Throughput is the factor that draws the line between a successful company and others. The performance of DHL is 150,000 orders per week flow through the facility. DHL couldn’t have achieved the throughput if it didn’t install Ball decks in its warehouse facility.
