About Us
Years ago, a local liquor distributor’s workforce was experiencing issues from lifting, twisting and carrying product. ELS was contacted to design and fabricate a custom solution to integrate with the customer’s existing telescopic conveyor. ELS developed a Destuffing Platform prototype. Since that initial unit, the multi-shift organization has installed 15 units in local distribution centers.
The success of the Destuff-IT™ lead ELS to realize the worldwide demand for ergonomic assists for unloading containers and trailers. In 2013, this unique lift assist was granted a US patent., The design is currently patent-pending in Canada.
In 2015, ELS opened a second plant dedicated to the production of the Destuff-IT™ line.

Testimonials
“The ELS Destuff-IT has been an essential addition to our receiving process. We have increased our unload capacity, from 1 container per day to 3 containers per day, with most unloads taking 2 hours to complete. The containers vary with the amount of sku’s from 5 to 75 per container. the Destuff-IT has allowed us develop a better sorting process, because of the continuous movement and variable speed settings. ELS Destuff-IT investment has been well worth all of the effort to get it to our facility.”

“Not only Management happy with the operation on the machine, the guy’s on the floor love it!”

Destuff-IT™ installed December 2014
“I honestly mean this when I say, this is the best investment we have ever made in the QA and Receiving area, and I have been with the company for 26 years !!!! We absolutely love it !!!! I honestly think that we can unload a container in 1 hour once we really get the hang of it. Our normal unload time is right about 3 hours the way we were doing it [pre-Destuff-IT installation]. We are heading into the peak of our season, and this is going to greatly improve our ability to handle a large volume of containers in a much shorter period of time .Not only this, but will save the company money as well in detention fees. You are only allowed 2 hours to unload a container before you run into detention fees, which can quickly add up to a large amount of money. I cannot imagine us EVER having to pay these fees again with the Destuff-IT Bi-Directional.”

“The equipment (Destuff-IT Unloaders) is so simple, employees required very little training … The ROI on our investment was approximately nine months and over a consecutive three years, thanks to enhanced ergonomics, training, standard operating practices, culture changing initiatives and to an extent our new Destuff-IT units, our logistics departments have experienced an 82 percent reduction in lost-time accidents and a comparable decrease in WSIB expenses.”
George Soleas, Executive Vice President LCBO, Toronto
