Dry Van / Reefer
Keeping merchandise dry and undamaged: are these two of your main concerns? When installed in a dry freight van or reefer, SecureDeckTMresolves these issues and many others.
The Floor that Sticks
SecureDeck’sTM high coefficient of friction translates into major benefits in terms of loading, cargo securement and load fastening. Its high adherence ensures that loads do not shift, tip or spill onto the roadway and also means that loads are easily secured. Merchandise, whether palletized or loaded directly on the floor, virtually “sticks” to the deck therefore reducing the need to resort to other traditional cargo securement devices and methods.
Unlike traditional wood and aluminum floors, a SecureDeckTM floor will absorb potentially damaging shocks during transport. Loads and any equipment being transported are kept safe and damage-free when SecureDeckTM covers the floor. This results in fewer claims.
Annoyed with spending time positioning and repositioning traditional retention mats? With SecureDeckTM, your high-adherence floor is permanently installed. Securing a load suddenly becomes much faster and easier, and load shift becomes a thing of the past.
Safe Loading
Loading equipment can operate without sklidding and personnel working in vans and reefers will find improved grip underfoot. Especially in wet, humid, cold, icy or snowy conditions, SecureDeckTM offers much higher coefficients of friction than wood and aluminum floors.
Improved safety and security ratings – and reductions in costly but avoidable work related injuries are key benefits of having SecureDeckTM installed.
Clean and Dry
Ever tried to clean a wood floor? Certainly this is something that most carriers face, yet the task can be facilitated. With SecureDeckTM, the polymer surface is essentially impenetrable and 100% watertight, making clean-ups fast and easy.
A Wise Choice
SecureDeck’sTM durability and shock absorption properties means less damage to your loads and floor. This translates into fewer claims and repair jobs. Increasing your productivity and ROI while keeping your trucks on the road – these are additional reasons to adopt SecureDeckTM.
Installing SecureDeckTM
Whether for a new or an existing dry van or reefer in your fleet, SecureDeckTM can be installed on any wood or aluminum floor. Given that the floor is within a closed environment and given the most recent North American cargo securement standards, we generally recommend the following SecureDeckTM configuration:
- Thickness: 0.325 inch
(8,25mm).
- Type: SecureDeckTM G-60 polymer (normal) or (more demanding) V-60 or V-72.
- Surface: Honeycomb and/or smooth.
