Saying unused trailer capacity is one of the largest hidden costs in logistics, Maxiloda says it has a double-decking system for trailers and trucks that offers more flexibility than other systems on the market. How Maxiloda’s Glide System Unlocks Hidden Trailer Capacity By turning unused vertical space into usable capacity, Maxiloda’s Glide system helps fleets move more freight per trip while reducing loading risks and equipment damage. - Maxiloda’s Glide system optimizes vertical space in trailers for increased freight capacity per trip. - The system aims to enhance loading efficiency by transforming unused space into practical usage. - Improved space utilization also aims to reduce risks associated with loading and prevent equipment damage. *Summarized by AI Maxiloda’s Glide system allows operators to safely double or triple stack cargo.

And because freight remains stabilized and separated on the system’s trolley platforms, the Maxiloda design reduces the risk of load crushing and freight damage, according to the company. In an interview with Maxiloda representatives at the recent Technology & Maintenance Council meeting, they pointed out that this system also offers greater safety, because the operator isn’t underneath beams in case of collapse. “Even if there was a failure, there is a safety mechanism, a curve that captures a beam so it doesn’t come down and hit the operator,” said Gary Stannard, president and CEO.
