Would you like to assess precisely which transport solution is best suited to your specific precast element transport and what tangible benefits R-TECH offers in daily practice? In our extended FAQ section, you will find answers to the most important questions about load carriers, inloader pallets and swap bodies.
Find out more about our innovative safety standards, the reduction of torsional forces and how you can make your logistics processes in precast concrete and timber construction more efficient through tried-and-tested engineering. We provide you with compact, easy-to-understand facts for maximum process reliability and an optimized supply chain.
R-TECH offers specialized transport technology and load securing solutions for precast concrete and precast timber construction. The focus here is on systems that have been specifically developed for tough daily use and tested in practice under real conditions.
The range includes inloader pallets, swap bodies for timber and concrete construction, turning frames and special pallets such as glass ILP and A-frames. The company thus offers complete coverage for the safe transportation of a wide range of wall elements and building materials.
They are ideal for transporting high wall elements, as they stabilize the components and minimize stress during storage and transport. The optimized design also makes handling during loading and unloading significantly more efficient and safer.
Forces during loading and unloading can twist finished parts, which can lead to cracks or structural damage to the load. R-TECH constructions effectively reduce these torsions to guarantee the quality of the valuable components all the way to the construction site.
As there are often no uniform guidelines, R-TECH relies on in-house test procedures and voluntary tests to increase safety for personnel and cargo. These internal standards often exceed the minimum legal requirements and define new benchmarks in the industry.
They enable flexible planning of logistics and production, as loading can take place independently of the vehicle. In addition, the average downtime of around 6 hours for trucks and drivers is eliminated, making the entire supply chain much more cost-efficient.
The systems are designed for standard semi-trailers, mega trailers and low-bed trailers with the appropriate pick-up heights. This allows companies to make optimum use of their existing fleet for transporting prefabricated parts without expensive conversions.
In timber construction, the payload is 20,000 kg, while a payload of up to 25,000 kg is specified for concrete construction. These high capacities enable even the heaviest concrete elements to be transported safely in compliance with all safety standards.
The turning trestle is used as a device to safely move prefabricated timber or concrete parts from a horizontal to a vertical position on the construction site. This controlled turning process not only protects the material, but also significantly minimizes the risk of accidents for the assembly personnel.
These are specially developed for transporting glass, have a tested payload and comply with applicable load securing standards. The special padding and brackets ensure that even extremely sensitive glass batches reach their destination without being shaken.
Yes, according to the website, solutions such as the A-frame in particular can be individually adapted to specific customer requirements and special dimensions. In-house engineering makes it possible to develop precisely tailored transport racks, even for complex logistical challenges.
R-TECH provides application videos for all products on its own YouTube channel to demonstrate correct handling. These videos serve as practical assistance for users and show the systems in real use on the construction site.
Yes, in addition to its headquarters in Austria, the company is also represented by another site in Slovakia. This international presence ensures short distances and rapid availability of products for customers throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
The office is open for customer inquiries from Monday to Thursday between 08:00 and 17:00 and on Friday from 08:00 to 12:00. During this time, expert advisors are available in person to provide technical information and take orders.
