Droop Snoot – Caljan Performer Function
GET A QUOTE
Unload or Load Trailers/ Containers Efficiently & Ergonomically
The Droop Snoot articulating conveyor extension can be fitted to all Caljan Performer telescopic conveyor sizes, giving DockStar customers added flexibility for a wide range of dock doors, trailer types, and loading conditions. Designed to improve control at the point of transfer, Droop Snoot helps operators position the discharge exactly where they need it for smoother loading and unloading of loose-loaded cargo.
Using the standard control panel, the operator can raise or lower the Droop Snoot with a smart pad to achieve the most effective working height. Pivoting vertically through ±30°, Droop Snoot can reach down to the trailer floor and up toward the ceiling, supporting ergonomic parcel handling with minimal effort. This improved positioning helps reduce strain, improves workflow efficiency, and supports higher productivity across mixed cargo and varying trailer fill levels.

Easy to Use. Easy to Own.
Keep an optimal working position at all times
The operator simply moves the articulating conveyor up and down, so he/she can ease loose-loaded cargo onto the conveyor belt. Once the item is eased onto the ergonomic front panel, the high-grip belt takes care of the rest. Loading and unloading becomes much easier as there is no stretching and minimal movement.
Store upright for easy door access
When the Telescopic Conveyor is not in use, the Droop Snoot articulating conveyor extension can be stored in an upright position. This allows free passage between the conveyor and the door.
Use with small and large vehicles
Parcels can easily be placed at height, utilizing the whole of the vehicle and saving on transport costs. When the fleet includes vans and similar small vehicles, Droop Snoot articulating conveyor can be lowered below floor level. This flexibility means vehicles of ANY size can be loaded or unloaded through standard loading bay doors.
Watch the Droop Snoot in Action!
The Caljan Performer telescopic conveyor shown here is fitted with powered castors, allowing it to be repositioned and used across multiple dock doors. This flexible setup helps facilities maximize equipment utilization, adapt to changing volume patterns, and improve dock efficiency without dedicating a conveyor to a single door.
With an articulating conveyor at the front, packages are dragged onto the belt rather than lifted, reducing manual handling and operator fatigue. In practical terms, the belt takes on more of the work—helping support a more ergonomic workflow, smoother loading and unloading, and higher productivity for parcel and package handling operations.
