Everyday life in logistics

Just in time delivery, time is money. Logistics terms that characterise this industry. Nowadays, many lorries serve as mobile storage areas on wheels. Because goods should always be available everywhere. This requires optimised logistics. Regardless of whether it is fresh goods or semi-finished parts: everything has to reach the recipient on time. This increases the pressure on the logistics sector. Cancellations for whatever reason are often not tolerated. Drivers are often the centre of attention and feel under the most pressure, regardless of whether they are involved in local or long-distance transport. Some of them may step on the gas a little more or not take rest periods too seriously. Although they are responsible for securing the load properly, they are not responsible for traffic jams or extreme weather conditions. Once the lorry has arrived at its destination, it has to be unloaded as quickly as possible. The sun is not always shining, there is not always enough space for manoeuvring or the loading ramp is too high. Nowadays, there are clever solutions for all these challenges that make life easier for the transporter and prevent damage to the vehicle or the loading ramps.

How do you protect your cargo from rain and wind when loading?

Door seals are the ideal solution at loading bays to keep the load dry during transport from or onto the lorry, even in windy conditions.

Protect cargo from rain and wind when loading

The door seals offer the following advantages:

  • The foam core apron door seal consists of an ingenious system that ensures that the side sections can be moved independently of the roof section and the roof section can also be moved independently of the side sections
  • This has the great advantage that when vehicles approach at an angle, the side sections are completely flexible without being damaged and can therefore be pushed away - even the roof section remains in position
  • If a vehicle has already driven onto the ramp and pumps up, the roof section moves upwards
  • When driving out, the entire roof section lowers again
  • This type of door seal has no external screw connections or rods that could be damaged
  • The roof section is designed so that rainwater can run off to both sides at the back of the cross apron
  • Door seals seal any gaps between the building and the docked vehicle as efficiently as possible - protecting your goods from the weather and saving energy costs

Height differences between the loading ramp and the vehicle - and now?

A very good solution for levelling out an existing height difference between the vehicle and the fixed loading ramp are so-called drive-on wedges.

The wheel chocks offer the following advantages:

  • Aluminium wheel chocks are relatively light, offer a non-slip contact surface and a special base on which the wheels stand securely
  • Carrying capacity of 12000 kp per piece
  • One person can transport the drive-on wedges alone at any time, as each wedge is equipped with an easily manoeuvrable fixed castor
  • Wedges are labelled with the "Tested Safety" seal and manufactured in accordance with the guidelines of the employers' liability insurance association
