FAQ on transport technology and load securing from R-Tech
Frequently asked questions
You want to quickly assess which solution is right for your precast transport and what advantages R-Tech offers in practice. Here you will find ten frequently asked questions with concise, easy-to-understand answers.
R-Tech offers transportation technology and load securing for precast concrete and timber construction. The focus is on systems that have been developed and tested for daily use.
The website lists inloader pallets, swap bodies (swap platforms) for timber construction, swap bodies for concrete construction, the reversible trestle and special solutions such as glass ILP and A Bock.
Internal loader pallets are designed for the transportation of high wall elements. They support the stable handling of components and help to better manage loads during storage and transportation.
During loading, storage and unloading, forces act on the transport racks which can twist or stress the finished parts. R-Tech offers constructions that are designed to reduce such torsion and thus protect the load.
R-Tech would like to point out that there are no standardized guidelines for certain transport racks. For this reason, voluntary tests and our own tests are used to increase the safety of use for personnel and cargo.
Swap bodies can simplify processes because logistics and production steps can be planned more flexibly. R-Tech focuses on practical handling and reducing the workload in the process. Cost optimization, as the average 6 hours of downtime for truck transporters including drivers is eliminated for each transport.
R-Tech specifies compatibility with standard articulated lorries, mega trailers and low-bed trailers, each with matching pick-up heights. This means that transportation can be implemented in a practical manner depending on the vehicle fleet.
A payload of 20,000 kg is specified for swap bodies in timber construction. A payload of 25,000 kg is specified for swap bodies in concrete construction.
The turning trestle is described as a turning device for timber and precast concrete elements. It is used when wall elements are to be moved from horizontal to vertical on the construction site.
Glass ILP are inloader pallets for glass, including information on tested payload and a specified load securing standard. A Bock solutions are described as a proven means of transport and can be adapted to customer requirements, according to the website.
