Automated Trailer Loading Made Easy with the SpeedFloor System

Automated Trailer Loading Made Easy with the SpeedFloor System

Mark Randall

Interest in modernizing loading operations has surged since SpeedFloor was showcased, and many fleets are now asking the same question: “How do we get this into our trailers and docks?” This follow-up is your nudge to move from curiosity to conversation and connect directly with Affinity Truck Center about SpeedFloor.

Why Fleets Are Still Talking About SpeedFloor

Operators who saw the system in person watched full loads move in and out of a trailer in minutes, rather than nearly an hour. They also saw what it means to keep people on the ground rather than climb into trailers, fight with pallets, or work in tight spaces and blind spots.

Key reasons fleets are reaching out now include:

  • Cutting labor requirements at the dock while keeping experienced people on higher-value work
  • Reducing wait times, congestion, and bottlenecks at loading bays
  • Improving safety and ergonomics, with fewer chances for strains, slips, and impact injuries
  • Planning practical retrofit options for existing trailers instead of replacing equipment

If you’re under pressure to move more loads with the same or fewer people, SpeedFloor is designed for your reality.

Electric, No-Hydraulics Design for Cleaner Operations

One detail that stands out to safety and operations teams is that SpeedFloor is fully electric and does not rely on hydraulics. That means:

  • No hydraulic lines inside the trailer to maintain or worry about
  • No risk of hydraulic fluid leaks onto product or packaging
  • Less environmental and cleanup risk in food, feed, or other sensitive freight environments

For ag, food, and high‑standards operations, this can be the difference between a near‑miss and a costly contamination incident.

What Affinity Truck Center Can Help You Answer

Affinity Truck Center is your go-to resource to figure out how SpeedFloor fits your specific operation, not just in theory but in day-to-day use. Their team can help you work through questions like:

  • Which of your trailers and lanes are the best candidates for SpeedFloor first
  • How retrofit installations work versus spec’ing SpeedFloor into new builds
  • What a realistic implementation timeline looks like based on your fleet and schedule
  • How the system integrates with your current dock flow, staffing, and equipment
  • What payback might look like when you factor in labor savings, injury reduction, and faster turns

Whether you run a few key lanes or a large, multi-site network, they can help you prioritize where SpeedFloor will hit hardest and fastest.

How to Start the Conversation

If you’ve watched the demo video, seen the system in person, or just heard about it from peers, the next step is simple: talk to Affinity Truck Center.

When you reach out, have a few basics ready:

  • Approximate number of trailers and docks
  • Typical load/unload times today
  • Types of freight you move (bulk, palletized, boxed, refrigerated, etc.)
  • Any specific safety or injury concerns you’re trying to address

From there, the Affinity Truck Center team can walk you through options, share details, and help you decide whether a pilot, a single-site deployment, or a phased rollout makes the most sense.
