The Roll-In level loader is a manual palletizer that can simplify loading and unloading full pallets. Available from Southworth Products Corp., the palletizer features cutouts in its low-profile platform to allow the forks of a hand pallet truck to literally roll into the platform (so that it is level with the top). This custom design, which accommodates virtually any open-bottom pallet or skid, is said to ensure that the load is evenly placed when the pallet truck is lowered and then rolled away.
