Safe Consignment: What is worth knowing about the use of anti -slip carpets
For safe transportation, it is important that the cargo is not moved while it goes from the point to B. Along with multiple means, this purpose is served in the anti -slip carpets too.
Now we will show you why their use is important and how to choose the most appropriate solution for the shipment.
There are cases where the use of conveyors is not sufficient. In such situations anti -slip carpet We also need to use to secure the cargo safely.
In this article, we will show you what anti -slip solutions exist, what situation you should use, and how to properly apply them to prevent accidents and avoid severe penalties.
The task of anti -slip rugs
It is often the case that the cargo during transportation To fix with spanifers not enough in itself. However, if the strap fixing is unable to ensure that the shipment does not move, then the shipment and the car can easily cause hundreds of thousands, up to millions of damage.
It is the task of the slippers that is why it is that placed between floor and cargo increase the friction factor, thereby preventing unwanted movement and the risk of consignment injury.
The anti -slip rugs from a special rubber granules They are made, the material and surface of which can significantly increase the adhesion of pallets. The method is also very effective because it can increase the friction coefficient between the pallet and the metal floor of the vehicle from 0.2 to 0.6, which can in itself partially or completely solve the repatriation of the cargo.
The EN 12195-1 Decree On the basis of safe transport, the rubber mats are used to calculate at least μ = 0.6 friction. In practice, of course, this value can be higher.
The exact value of the friction coefficient depends on many things. For example:
- from the humidity
- from the temperature
- from the contamination of the ware surface
- from the surface roughness of the cargo and the load surface
- the contact surfaces of the vertically acting forces as well as the cargo and cargo surface
- from ratio
- The pushing and the pusher. the size and nature of driving forces, etc.
The point is that the larger the friction coefficient, that is, the higher the traction between the load and the floor, the harder the load will move. For the perfect result the anti -slip carpet Always clean, dusted and degreased loader surface we need to place it.
In some cases, the cargo may remain stable without mooring, binding or support. The anti -slip However, it does not exempt From the use of other recording modes such as spanipers and edge protectors.
However, it is worth knowing that good anti -slip carpets are extremely use can be reduced the force required for the deposit (even half of the originally necessary force) and thus guarantee that we need less straps for safe transport.
How to choose the right anti -slip?
Anti -slip carpets can be made of multiple materials, such as polyurethane or other complex rubber granules. THE from a complex rubbing granules the main feature of anti -slip anti -slip is that are extremely durable and well -loaded. The rolling, high -quality rugs are also famous for their good load -bearing capacity are resistant to many materials too. Thus, they do not have to be afraid of acids or oils.
This means that perfect non -slip rugs not only protect the goods from injury but the minor leaks during transportation they also function as a protective layer between the cargo and the vehicle platform.
But during the choice it is important besides material quality the material thickness too. The thickness of a non -slip rug on the one hand determines that how difficult the goods to be provided can be. On the other hand, the carpet should be thicker and more quality, The more uneven the floor, on which the cargo is shipped.
It is also important that the anti -slip carpets are available in different sizes, of which we must always choose one that adapts to the type and size of the cargo. Of course, this is not only important from a convenience point of view. In the case of To place the size and/or anti -slip inappropriate, Authorities impose a fine during the inspection to the driver of the vehicle.
Fortunately, the size of the anti -slip carpet can be quickly checked. It is important to the protective layer must be visible in all cases, and under the soles of the Euro-page or between the elements shipped, you must always appear.
The most popular rugs are 15-30 cm wide, but they can also be accessed by carpets with a width of more than 100 cm on demand. Carpets thickness between 3 and 8 mm and the thicker the carpet, the greater the maximum load capacity.
And for us, the right one in all cases from the type of cargo, the mass of the cargo, and the transport conditions We have to choose depending on.
Requirements for the use of anti -slip rugs
The VDI 2700 guidelines for non -slip carpets for carpet are included. The rules determine that an anti -slip is only used by a carpet that is to the highest requirements corresponds to both tensile strength (min. 0.6 n/mm²), both torn stretch (min. 60%) and all the static friction .
This means that for consignment planned only for this purpose We can use anti -slip rubber mats, traditional construction and rubber mats are inadequate.
It is also important to ensure the cargo should not be exclusively carpet to use. This solution is an element of a comprehensive insurance, and we can use mandatory fastening straps and other products for secure recording.
Can be ordered as a coil or as a finished product with anti -slip rubber mat not only on the floor of a vehicle used for shipping, but also used as an intermediate layer under the straps or in the case of loading.
How long can the anti -slip rubber mat?
The great advantage of anti -slip rubber mats is that they are made of strong rubber granules. As a result, despite their low prices, they are durable and can be used for a long time.
However, no matter how reliable and timeless a solution is, it is important to In the case of visible signs of wear We need to replace the anti -slip carpet. In this case, it is not certain that you can properly perform your task, which is dangerous on the one hand and, on the other hand, is extremely risky during the increasingly growing roadside checks.
Such a clear signal can be considered as follows:
- shabby, crumbling surface
- efficiency -reducing surface contamination
- rupture, missing parts
- persistent deformation or compression
- swollen surface parts
- elasticity
The anti -slip, if damaged, deformed, worn, inadequate or thick, should not be used in any way. On the one hand, for security reasons, as it can easily cause damage to the cargo (and even in the vehicle used for transport). On the other hand, because the use of an inadequate anti -slip anti -slip is severely punished in the event of a check.
