Augmented unpacking
with RockyOne.

Experienced 3PC crews, live performance data and robotic assistance, working as one operation around your freight and your dock.

RockyOne unloads cartons directly from a container onto a conveyor, with operating rates of over 1,100 cartons per hour achieved, depending on freight profile and operating conditions. It takes on much of the repetitive reaching, twisting and lifting involved in unloading, while our crews manage flow, exceptions and the wider operation.

Built into how we already run container unloading, not a separate product
Used where the freight suits. Everything else stays with the crew
Independent risk assessment and engineering oversight support each deployment

Integration decides the outcome.

Machine speed alone doesn't determine the return. These four things do, and we plan them with your site team.

01

Freight suitability

We profile your cartonised freight and container arrivals to find the loads where robotic handling adds value. Results vary with carton size, weight and how freight is presented.

02

Dock arrangement

Separation between crew and the robotic zone is planned into the dock layout, with independent risk assessment and engineering oversight.

03

Crew allocation

Containers carrying suitable freight go to the robotic dock. The rest go to the wider unpack crew.

04

Downstream flow

Unloading is only as fast as what happens next. We plan receiving, put-away and site flow with your team.

Start with your freight profile.

We'll review your freight profile and container arrivals with your site team, identify suitable loads and agree how robotic assistance would fit your unpack operation.

Safety built into
every shift.

We employ staff directly and take full responsibility for their health, safety and wellbeing, to the same standard at every site we run nationally. Our systems and processes have been designed to avoid and minimise harm. Training and development continue throughout an employee's time with us.

Our Story
2009
Our Origin

Founded in Melbourne, 3PC has established a safe, reliable alternative to general labour hire, specialising in container handling, value-added services and warehouse support.

2014
National Expansion

Operations expanded to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide - building a truly national operating capability.

NOW
People, data and technology, working as one.

Our crews still do the work and lead on the floor. Operational leaders use live data to deploy labour and improve workflow, and on suitable freight we add RockyOne robotic assistance to the unpack. It is the same people-led approach, with better measurement behind it.

Smarter work. Better tools. Stronger teams.

Our Values

Built by operators, not agencies.

Safety First

We employ staff directly and take full responsibility for their health, safety and wellbeing. No contractor gaps, no ambiguity - we own the outcome.

Smarter, Not Harder

We give our crews the tools, training and live information to work smarter. Robotic assistance takes on repetitive handling where it fits, while our people manage the operation.

Transparent Performance

Operationally data-driven, with live reporting. Our clients see exactly what's happening - in real time, with no surprises on the invoice.

Our Approach

From assessment to optimisation, in four steps.

We design the right operating model for every site - not just supply a team.

01
3PC crew on site during assessment

Assess

We visit your site and review your volumes, freight profile and current workflow to understand where improvement is possible.

02
3PC crew onboarded on site

Deploy

Crews are onboarded with safety induction, training and platform integration. Where the freight suits, robotic assistance is planned into the dock with your site team.

03
3PC operations monitored on site

Visibility

Live data on throughput, performance and safety risk is visible in real time, to crews and site leaders alike.

04
3PC crew improving site operations

Improve

Insight from live data drives informed decisions on labour deployment, workflow and the operating model, and keeps raising the bar.
