Palletizer Rental in Los Angeles & Southern California

Southern California moves an enormous volume of packaged goods — and at the end of too many LA production lines, that volume still lands on pallets by hand. Dorna Automation Solutions rents a collaborative palletizing robot cell for $1,999/month with $0 upfront, installation, training and maintenance included, and serves California plants with scheduled installation and support.

Port volume, packed lines, and the most expensive pair of hands in the building

Los Angeles sits at the meeting point of two huge flows: one of the largest manufacturing bases in the country, and port-driven packaging and distribution volume that never really sleeps. Food and beverage producers, cosmetics and personal-care brands, paper and packaging converters, and consumer-goods manufacturers across the basin run hard — many of them two or three shifts a day to keep up.

In that environment, hand stacking is a quiet tax on every shift. Southern California labor is among the most expensive in the country to hire, schedule and replace, and multi-shift operations feel it two or three times over: the end-of-line stacking job is the first to burn people out and the hardest to backfill at 2 a.m. When the palletizing position runs short, the whole line slows to the speed of whoever is lifting. A cobot palletizer takes that position over permanently — same pace, every case, every shift.

What the $1,999/month rental includes

One flat monthly payment puts a complete palletizing cell on your floor — no capital budget request, no six-figure purchase, no separate service contract:

• A collaborative robot (cobot) palletizing cell configured for your cases and pallet pattern, in a compact footprint that respects expensive Southern California floor space.
• Delivery and installation at your facility, scheduled with our California installation trips.
• Operator training for every shift that will run the cell.
• Maintenance included for the life of the rental.
• Safety guides or a cage available as options when your site's safety review requires them.

The term is a 12-month initial period, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. The cobot works safely alongside your operators, handles cases up to 20 kg (44 lb) with a reach of up to 1,880 mm, and typically delivers up to +30% line productivity and up to $5,000/month in labor savings compared with hand stacking.

How service works for California plants

Dorna is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and serves California on a scheduled basis. It starts with a free line walkthrough: we review your case dimensions and weights, line speed, pallet patterns and available floor space — using your line photos and measurements, plus a call with your team — and confirm the cell fits before anything is signed. Installation is then scheduled as a planned trip, with operator training built into the same visit, and ongoing support visits are scheduled the same way. You get a named team and a straight answer at every step, not a ticket queue.
