So what on earth do you do if you have a new heavy or bulky product to load and deliver as well as your customer has no connect to facilitate unloading? One solution are sometimes a crane van. By using a haulage service that offers a truck or van fitted which includes a gantry crane you possibly can deliver any size as well as weight of item that will fits the truck and also van.
The van itself will be fitted with a gantry crane in the form of a wheeled crane jogging on rails. These rails run with the back of the van into the front, and there is an extension which can be pulled out to unload the item onto the actual ground.
No need to get fork trucks or pallet commercial transport when loading, because the crane can position the item within the van as well as truck to lie within the axles or in the most effective position for transit. It can unload to ground level, either onto a pallet for easy removal or in to a box - which would be difficult using a lift 18 wheeler.
By using crane vans, having no dock is not anymore a problem, either for that supplier or the client. As a supplier, all that's necessary do is to get such as service when you experience the appropriate goods to supply. You can then avoid difficulty with your customers, or even your drivers who could possibly be tempted to unload physically - with consequent possibilities of claims for injuries!
As a customer, you may insist on such a new crane van service, making it clear for a supplier that you don't have a dock and that you need on-board lifting equipment to unload safely and without any damage to the order. That might always be a batch of crystal clear glasses that needs careful handling, a delivery of furniture maybe a load of cakes, none that can withstand rough management or being dropped. |
