Autonomous Trailer Unloading for 3PLs

Conquer high turnover and seasonal demand with autonomous trailer unloading that deploys in hours, connects to your existing WMS, and scales robotic capacity to your volume.

The problem

The Dock Job Nobody Wants to Staff

Trailer unloading is the hardest, most injury-prone job in the warehouse and the first shift to go unfilled. Temp labor is unreliable and burns through training budgets. Traditional automation requires expensive equipment purchases, months of integration, and a warehouse layout rebuild most facilities cannot afford or stomach.

Common questions

Answered.

What exactly does Lumper do during trailer unloading?

Lumper robots physically unload cases from floor-loaded trailers autonomously. They read the trailer contents using live spatial mapping, handle cases without any pre-sorting or special setup, and move freight off the dock without a human crew on the floor. Remote operators step in only for edge cases that fall outside normal operation, so the dock keeps moving around the clock.

How quickly can Lumper be deployed at my facility?

Lumper deploys into existing warehouses in hours. There is no construction, no layout rebuild, and no lengthy integration project. Your dock does not need to be modified. The robots come to your facility and get to work without disrupting your current operation or requiring weeks of downtime to get started.

How does Lumper pricing work for trailer unloading?

Lumper is priced by the pick with no upfront cost. You do not buy equipment, sign a lease, or take on any capital expenditure. You pay based on the volume of cases unloaded, which means your cost scales directly with your throughput. When volume drops in a slow season, your cost drops with it. There are no fixed equipment payments when the trailers stop coming.

What kinds of freight and cases can Lumper handle?

Lumper robots handle mixed-SKU boxed goods, including heavy cases up to 65 lbs. The robots use live spatial mapping to read floor-loaded inventory as it sits in the trailer, without requiring any pre-sorting, special labeling, or uniform case sizes. This makes them suited for the varied, heavy freight that shows up at distribution center and 3PL docks.

Do I need to change my WMS or warehouse layout to use Lumper?

No. Lumper connects to your existing ERP, WMS, or WES without replacing any of your current systems. Your warehouse layout stays exactly as it is. There is no need to redesign the dock, move racking, or retrain your team on a new software platform. Lumper is built to fit into the warehouse you already operate, not the warehouse a system integrator wishes you had.
