Aluminium solutions for commercial transport cargo systems

We understand the challenges and requirements the road transport industry currently faces in various regions. With our comprehensive range of aluminium profiles, combined with our in-house production capabilities and commitment to sustainability, we deliver innovative aluminium solutions from the initial design phase through to the final product while adhering to industry regulations. 

Benefits of aluminium profiles in road transport 

Aluminium offers a variety of advantages that perfectly align with the demands of the automotive commercial transport industry:

• Lightweight and strong: Aluminium combines lightweight properties with exceptional strength, providing the ideal balance for vehicle construction.
• Corrosion resistance: Unlike traditional materials, aluminium resists corrosion, ensuring longevity and durability in various environments.
• Low maintenance: With minimal maintenance requirements, aluminium components reduce downtime and operational costs.
• Design flexibility: The versatility of aluminium allows for intricate designs and tailored solutions to meet specific needs.
• Diverse surface and finishes: From sleek surfaces to customized finishes, aluminium profiles offer aesthetic appeal along with functionality.
• Recyclability: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, aligning with sustainability goals and environmental consciousness.

Applications of aluminium profiles in cargo storage systems

The design flexibility and inherent properties of aluminium make it indispensable across various applications in the road transport industry:

• Load restraint rails: Installed on the interior walls of cargo vehicles, such as trucks and trailers, these rails provide secure anchor points to tie down and restrain cargo, ensuring that goods are transported safely without shifting during transit.
• Lashing rails: Found on the floors or sidewalls, lashing rails offer multiple attachment points for securing straps or ropes. This versatility allows for efficient and adjustable cargo securing mechanisms, accommodating various load sizes and shapes.
• Drop lifts: Typically mounted at the rear of the vehicle, drop lifts are lightweight yet robust platforms used for loading and unloading heavy goods, enhancing operational efficiency.
• Sideguards: Positioned along the sides of trucks and trailers, aluminium sideguards provide additional structural integrity and help prevent other vehicles or pedestrians from slipping under the truck, thereby meeting safety standards.
• Flooring planks: These durable planks are used as the flooring in cargo vehicles. They are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions, providing a long-lasting and sturdy surface for transporting goods.
• Rub rails and corner pillars: Reinforced rub rails are installed along the exterior edges of cargo vehicles to protect against impacts and abrasions. Corner pillars add structural strength and durability, ensuring that the vehicle frame remains intact under stress and during collisions.

Reduced environmental impact

By leveraging the lightweight nature of aluminium, we contribute to significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Every kilogram shed from a vehicle's weight translates to tangible savings in fuel consumption and, consequently, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, our aluminium solutions enable transport companies to operate more efficiently while minimizing their environmental footprint globally.
