Flatbed Semi-Trailer
Considering the tough conditions that flatbed semi-trailers must endure, SecureDeckTM is the logical choice. Strapping loads suddenly becomes much faster and easier, and load shift becomes a thing of the past.
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 quality 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 trailer therefore reducing the need to resort to other traditional cargo securement devices and methods.
Blocking and bracing suddenly becomes a simpler and faster job with SecureDeckTM. Truckers can get on the road quickly with confidence, knowing that their loads will safely stay in place with SecureDeckTM. After all, time is money.
Personnel Remain Safe
Personnel loading materials or working on flatbed semi-trailers will find improved grip underfoot, resulting in improved safety and security. Especially in wet, extremely cold, icy or snowy conditions, SecureDeckTM offers much higher coefficients of friction than wood, steel or aluminum floors. Personnel can walk with confidence on SecureDeckTM, knowing that their steps will be secure.
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.
