Challenges in transporting steel and glass
Transporting steel and glass is among the most demanding tasks in logistics. These goods are heavy, bulky, often unusual in size and, in the case of glass, extremely fragile and susceptible to damage. Therefore, it is crucial not only to have adequate security, but also to maximize the use of cargo space to make transportation profitable.
Double Deck – double efficiency
Double Deck trailers allow the use of an additional movable floor inside the cargo area. This makes it possible to carry two layers of pallets at the same time – in practice, instead of the standard 33, up to 66 pallets can be transported in a single run.
In the case of steel and glass, this results in huge savings. Heavy goods can be arranged in the lower part of the trailer, while lighter items or packaged glassware can be placed on the upper platform. This solution optimizes transportation costs and reduces the number of trips.
Safety and stability of cargo
When transporting such demanding goods as steel or glass, you can’t afford to take risks. Double Deck allows for even weight distribution, which contributes to the stability of the vehicle and the safety of the materials being transported. Additional fastening and security systems protect fragile goods from shifting.
