Tail lifting device for easy loading and unloading
Most Luton trucks come equipped with a tail lift, which is a hydraulic platform at the rear of the vehicle. This tail lift is not just a convenience; it is essential for reducing heavy lifting during loading and unloading. It can handle how much weight is loaded onto it, typically up to 500 kilograms, streamlining the removals process. This tail lift simplifies the loading and unloading process, especially when dealing with heavy or awkwardly shaped items. It minimizes the need for manual heavy lifting, by also reducing the risk of injury and speeding up the moving or delivery process.
A tail lift is a mechanical device, typically hydraulic or electric, installed at the rear of a vehicle, such as a truck or van. It serves the crucial purpose of simplifying the loading and unloading of goods. With the press of a button or lever, the tail-lift lowers to ground level, allowing for easy and secure movement of heavy or oversized items onto or off the vehicle.
Side panels and ceiling
· PET foam sandwich panels
PET foam is lightweight and renewable, has the highest density among all foam types of the same specification, and is stronger and more durable. It can be combined with different skin materials such as aluminum and CFRT to make the side panels and roof panels of the Luton truck box. It can provide a strong, airtight and waterproof transportation environment for goods.
· Plywood sandwich panels
Plywood is a very common van box material with wide sources, high strength and low cost. It can be combined with fiberglass skin to create sandwich panels for use as side panels for Luton vans.
Floor
· PP honeycomb panels
For the floor of the Luton truck floor, TOPOLO specially customized non-slip thermoplastic honeycomb panels to replace traditional wooden floors and patterned aluminum floors. The anti-slip thermoplastic honeycomb panel combines the lightweight impact resistance of the honeycomb core material and the dense anti-slip texture of the CFRT surface, which has a better anti-slip effect.
