I always wondered why they seem to be on a steep slope too… doesn’t that making getting cages on and off a nightmare?
I do taillift work with heavy items (200kg) and I always park as flat as I can so I’m not either Trying to stop something rolling out the back or pushing it up a slope.So why not just the hight of trailer / unit to compensate
With what, a trolley jack?
Not everyone has fancy pants air suspension you know.

Get yourself on pallet network stuff, drag some tonne pallets of bricks or whatever bored John has ordered off the internet for his garden out and off a taillift.
Mind you last time I pumped a pallet to the back doors (last week) it went flying off the back lol
This isn’t on a trolley, this is by hand, rolling or dragging… trust me, it’s heavy.

One friend word ar Aldi Cardiff.He said who by rulles he must ring to store some 20 min before arrival.And reversing just with bankman.And they have some 2-3day driving assestment including reversing from both side plenty time.Andrejs!!
Have you been on the beer again??
I don t drink abdolutely all life.But about Aldi that they have longest driving assestment .It is not 20 min drive and back to yard.They do about 4 hours real job with instructor.If pass that some 5 day induction.Money per hour good but they have just 40-45 hours per week.And they monitoring how drivers press to pedal.
We dont use cages. We use euro pallets and the occasional uk pallet unloaded with electric trucks.

Used to work for a small supermarket company, The places we used to deliver to was a real eye opener. As for delivering out of hours? no chance most had curfews so you had try and reverse in as cars are coming out of the gateways and they don’t believe in giving way. reverse off roundabouts into so called delivery bays, try to fit a artic down some narrow streets in housing estates and as for a banksman you had no chance.

Presume you mean a slope down onto the “dock,” could be that the dock level is the same height as the yard outside the slope should put the trailer deck on a level with the dock baring a dock leveller.With the use of unit and trailer air suspension should be no problem.
I don`t think Aldi have tail lifts if the have the could under slung.

I delivered milk to Aldi’s for a few years & the slopes were certainly a challenge with the milk trolleys. If you didn’t plan ahead you would have the whole load coming at you as soon as you took the bar off.
The slope isn’t a problem for the Aldi drivers with their electric pallet trucks though, which is who it’s designed for. The few Aldi’s that don’t have slopes have a scissor lift instead, which slows you down considerably & if it breaks your knackered.
