Useful loading technology products that improve “everyday logistics”

Everyday life in logistics

Just in time delivery, time is money. Logistics terms that characterize this industry. Nowadays, many trucks serve as mobile storage areas on wheels. Because goods should always be available everywhere. This requires optimal 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. Downtime for whatever reason is often not tolerated. Drivers are often the focus of attention, regardless of whether they are involved in local or long-distance transportation, and feel under the most pressure. Perhaps one or two of them step on the gas a little more or don't take rest periods too seriously. Although they are responsible for securing the load properly, they cannot do anything about traffic jams or extreme weather conditions. Once the truck 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 maneuvering or the loading ramp is too high. Nowadays, there are clever solutions for all these challenges that simplify the life of the transporter and prevent damage to the vehicle or the loading ramps.

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

Dock shelters are the ideal solution for loading ramps to keep the load dry on or off the truck even in windy conditions.

The door seals offer the following advantages:

  • The foam core apron door seal consists of an ingenious system which 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 itself 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 rear of the cross apron
  • Dock shelters seal any gaps between the building and the docked vehicle as efficiently as possible - protecting your goods from the weather and saving energy costs

Protecting loading ramps and buildings from damage when docking a truck - but how?

It often happens quickly in a hectic rush. When reversing, the truck hits the loading system and causes annoying and expensive damage. The solution is so-called bumpers.

The bumpers offer the following advantages::

  • Bumpers are suitable for loading technology and loading systems
  • Bumpers can be used for loading ramps, loading bridges, loading ramps and dock levellers
  • When loading and unloading trucks, it can happen very quickly that ramps or buildings are damaged by collision damage or similar
  • Time pressure = vehicle body quickly scrapes along the gate post or the ramp boundary or even hits the ramp
  • Consequence = expensive and time-consuming repairs (not only to the vehicle), but especially to the equipment
  • These can be avoided with bumpers
  • Bumpers for safe car & truck loading
  • Employees are also exposed to dangers that should not be underestimated when backing up and docking trucks - these can be significantly reduced by installing bumpers

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

A very good solution for compensating for 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:

  • Aluminum wheel chocks are relatively light, offer a non-slip contact surface and a special base on which the wheels stand securely
  • Load 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 easy-to-use fixed castor
  • Wedges bear the “Tested Safety” seal and are manufactured in accordance with the guidelines of the employers' liability insurance association

How do you protect columns, downpipes and cable ducts from collision damage?

Vertical pillars, downpipes or cable ducts often run alongside buildings. This makes it all the more annoying when a vehicle hits them and damages them. Not to mention the damage to the vehicle itself. To protect these pillars, downpipes and cable ducts, there is a so-called impact protection.

Säulen, Fallrohre und Kabelschächte vor Anfahrschäden schützen

The impact protection offers the following advantages:

  • Steel pipe protection reliably protects pipes and cables from damage - the solid and weather-resistant design makes the easy-to-install pipe protection ideal for outdoor areas
  • Provides effective protection against collision damage
  • Quality steel bracket in semicircular design
  • Choice of installation method and height
