The present invention relates to a transfer station (100) for loads in logistics facilities, comprising at least two transfer points (102, 104) of different types for loads, which are configured in such a way that a load transport vehicle (200, 300) of an associated vehicle type can acquire and release each load, comprising a conveyor unit (108) which is configured to transport loads between the at least two transfer points (102, 104), and comprising a self-sufficient electrical system with a control unit (110) which is configured to be supplied with electrical energy from outside and to automatically control the operation of the conveyor unit (108).

Telescoping conveyor

Extendable conveyor system and operating processes for the same. An extendable conveyor system that includes a plurality of conveyor segments, a conveyor extension/retraction system, and a control system. The plurality of conveyor segments are interlocked in a telescoping configuration with individual conveyor segments at least partially overlapping one another. The conveyor extension/retraction system is operatively coupled to at least one of the conveyor segments and configured to control the extension and retraction of the extendable conveyor system by controlling movement of the conveyor segments relative to one another. The control system is in electrical communication with the conveyor extension/retraction system and configured to perform operations that include adjusting a position of one or more conveyor segments responsive to data received from a package handling robot in electronic communication with the control system.
