Maxiloda Glide: Double Your Trailer Load Without Forklifts

Key Details Maxiloda's Glide system transforms unused vertical space into usable cargo capacity by allowing freight to be stacked two or three levels high. Mobile trolley platforms rated for 4,400 pounds each can be glided forward or backward by hand, eliminating the need for forklifts inside trailers. Why It Matters Forklift entry into trailers creates multiple risks: damage to landing gear, crushed cargo, and operator safety concerns. The Glide system keeps operators away from overhead loads while stabilizing freight on dedicated platforms. Operators benefit from reduced trip frequency, sometimes needing just one additional pallet to justify the technology. Fleet Advantages The system works with both 26-foot hard-sided trucks and 53-foot trailers, weighing only 1,100 pounds when installed. It stores in the ceiling when not needed and can load from ground level without relying on loading docks. The technology suits dry van and refrigerated cargo, even improving air circulation in reefer units. Next Steps Based in Chicago, Maxiloda is establishing U.S. manufacturing after proven success in New Zealand and Latin America. The company seeks fleets for pilot programs and is partnering with route optimization software providers to maximize the multiplier effect of increased capacity combined with better routing efficiency.
