Toll IPEC’s depots in both Brisbane
and Perth utilise similar fully
automated parcel sortation systems,
with the capacity to gently handle
goods with very different dimensions
into multiple discharge lanes. Sort
capacity is a rapid 9,000 cartons per
hour. Parcels are conveyed on a sorter
bed consisting of extruded aluminium
profiles. Shoes slide across these
profiles, diverting parcels to defined
destinations. Gaps between parcels
are optimised through use of a special
batching conveyor and then guided
by means of rubber coated running
wheels that ensure a quiet and
low-wear operation.
With environmental credentials at
the forefront of planning, the new
site incorporates low energy design
features with an intelligent lighting
management system and integrates
a 70,000 litre capacity rain water tank
that provides water for general utilities
and gardens.
With over 13,500m 2 warehouse and
depot plus a further 2,800m 2 of office
space, the new facility gives Toll IPEC
further room to grow and develop. n
