Excerpts:
Safety apprehensions at higher road speeds
Edscha Trailer Systems, market and technological leader for sliding roofs for trucks, offers the optimum roof system for transport vehicles with tarpaulin covers. Our sliding roof solution are light in weight, robust and most importantly only allow the legal height and width for transportation. Being said that light in weight, the system helps in reduction of overall weight of the trucks and trailer due to which the driver can attain the permissible speed limits without the fear of accidents.
Technology impact on safety in the times ahead
Safety and transportation of goods is a main concern for the operators, customers and the logistics companies. Regarding safety our profiles and rails are made of clever material combination of plastic and steel for robust and durable usage and we also have an option of steel mesh in side curtains for the curtains which will help in protection against theft. For future application we feel that the OEM’s will have to develop models or solutions where the customer can utilise the full sideway of truck for loading or unloading and also they are able to close and secure the goods. In that case our product range will be best suited to the OEM, industries and to end user.
