Highlights


  • Potential to open the bottleneck for the majority of the world's freight
  • Total addressable market of $9.6T+
  • Solves final-mile distribution problems faced by companies like Amazon
  • Computer controlled, Wi-Fi enabled system automates container movement
  • Aiming to save large freight end-users billions of dollars annually
  • All-electric product with Hybrid Power Axle system coming soon

Problem


Inefficient freight transport increases costs and drags on the global economy


90% of the world’s freight travels in over 150,000,000 sea shipping containers. This merchandise can only be loaded or unloaded at loading docks and handled with expensive equipment at special facilities. This bottlenecks freight and logistics worldwide and chokes the world economy.

Solution


An automated way to move sea shipping containers

 without any additional equipment


QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics smartphone-controlled trailers are built to move the world’s 168,000,000 ISO containers faster, safer, and easier than ever before—expanding freight and greatly improving efficiencies. 

Our hardware consists of a Wi-Fi-enabled, computer-controlled trailer that the driver operates from their smartphone. A driver can load or unload 60,000 lbs. of merchandise in 3 minutes without ever leaving their seat in the truck cab. 



This Wi-Fi-controlled trailer lends itself to easy coupling with any driver in any truck. It makes easy control of the system for Autonomous Trucks such as TuSimple, Waymo, Plus, Kodiak, Tesla, or Embark.


Product


Truck beds and trailers that automate the movement of shipping containers


The QuickLoadz system consists of a patented mechanical system that uses the structure of any standard ISO sea shipping container to load/unload:


This mechanism contains sophisticated mechanical processes to make the whole system work smoothly, a large part of our “secret sauce.”

The hardware portions of the system are patent-protected in countries all over the world, providing a deep moat against newcomers. 


Traction


QuickLoadz has been in hands of customers since 2015

Thousands of containers moved, millions of miles traveled. Field testing is done. Time to scale. 


  • Current billion dollar enterprise-level customers. 
  • Multiple multi-unit orders.
  • Sales usually double every year. Even in 2020, sales went up to 1M+ this year. 
  • Development agreements with cutting-edge companies solving the world's last-mile delivery problems, such as Vaqari. 
  • Development agreement with self contained tiny home manufacturer Piedmont Green. 
  • Winner of awards from TechGrowth Ohio to Beijing, China. 
  • QuickLoadz units are trusted from Northern Canada to the United Arab Emirates.



Customers


Our customers come in all freights and sizes

QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics benefits everyone in the supply chain.


QuickLoadz shipped its first units in 2015. Since then, tens of thousands of containers have been delivered using every variety of our systems. Our QuickLoadz design is customer-tested and approved, not just a concept.



Some of our government customers:

  • US Army
  • Idaho National Labs
  • City of Everett, Washington

Some of our enterprise customers:

  • Britten Studios
  • Irby Utilities
  • Avista Utilities
  • Ontario Public Power
  • Middleby
  • United Van Lines
  • Pac-Van

Business model


Direct B2B sales of current models


QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics current models are a uniquely innovative and automated way to move sea shipping containers. 

  • The standard model is currently shipped with a 38 HP EFI engine (CARB compliant).
  • By Q4 2021, QuickLoadz will offer as a no cost option an all electric unit.
  • By Q4 2021 QuickLoadz will also offer other unique safety systems such as birds eye view 360 cameras on its trucks and trailers. 



Subscription cloud-based logistics system


Market


Transport and logistics is a $9.6T market ripe for tech disruption


Companies like Tesla, Waymo, TuSimple and Aurora are spending billions of dollars on developing the self-driving truck. That's only half of the job: our aim is to leverage the billions spent on autonomy and transport logistics. With our self-delivering load technology, QuickLoadz does the rest. 


QuickLoadz completes container movement.


Competition


Blazing a new trail in the shipping world


Even though there are less expensive options to move empty containers, it still makes fiscal sense to purchase a QuickLoadz. Our system takes a difficult, dangerous 30 minute job using chains, winches and straps, and turns it into 3 minutes of pushing buttons on a smartphone.

Costly alternatives



QuickLoadz



QuickLoadz customers are able to do 2 more container moves a day with QuickLoadz. That translates to $100,000 per year additional income from using a QuickLoadz over a winch trailer.

Vision and strategy


Creating the world's new freight and logistics platform

Our mission is to change the world of freight and logistics by creating an automated way of moving sea shipping containers.


The intermodal shipping container was invented in 1956. This simple idea of putting the merchandise in big steel boxes, instead of hand-carried on ships, entirely opened up world trade. By some estimates, the cost of international shipping dropped by 90%. 

However, the handling of these containers hasn't significantly changed in 50 years. Containers still require giant cranes, loading docks and distribution centers to access their contents—until QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics. 


Funding


Raising to accelerate production and scale


QuickLoadz has been entirely bootstrapped until this raise. 

QuickLoadz founders Sean Jones and Bridget Lair have invested $2,793,386 in personal cash into QuickLoadz.

In addition, QuickLoadz has a $2,850,000 loan, which it used to purchase and renovate its new 47,000 square foot facility. 

QuickLoadz is raising money to scale production, add sales and marketing staff, and let the world know that there is now an easier way to move the 168,000,000 containers that are the basis of world trade.
