- Equipment: loading lift (in all units), pallet truck (in all units)
- Visibility: GPS / statuses, POD after delivery
Applications
- Retail/e-commerce: deliveries to central warehouses and shops, larger supplies.
- Manufacturing/industry: components and pallet series up to 8 tonnes; taller elements (up to approx. 3.0 m).
- Events and trade fairs: stage design modules, structures, door-to-stand.
- Electronics / household appliances: pallet batches with notification requirements to DC.
- Machine construction: dimensions requiring top loading or longer space.
Practical advantages
- 19 EP and 3.0 m height inside — convenient stacking, possibility of higher loads.
- Flexible loading — side/rear/top (sliding roof) facilitates the acceptance of long or non-palletised items.
- Lift + pallet truck as standard — efficient unloading ‘on the ground’ without a ramp.
- Stability and safety — greater load capacity vs 7.5 t, solid construction.
- Monitoring and evidence — GPS tracking, clear statuses and POD.
Limitations
- Road access and zones — restrictions for lorries in city centres; we verify zones, heights and tonnages.
- Weight distribution and dimensions — we confirm the final EP layout/fastening after checking dimensions, weights and fastening points.
- ADR: if required, we will provide a unit with ADR authorisation.
FAQ – frequently asked questions
How many pallets actually fit into 18 tonnes?
Standard 19 EP (120×80). The arrangement depends on the dimensions/weights and method of securing.
Can it be loaded from above with a crane?
Yes — the sliding roof design allows for loading from above. Please provide information about the weight and suspension points.
What is the lift capacity?
All units have a lift; we will confirm the lift capacity in the quotation and select the appropriate model for the weight of the pallets.
Will it reach the city centre?
Often yes, but local restrictions for lorries apply. We verify zones, heights, tonnages and suggest alternatives if necessary.
Can you handle ADR?
Yes — we will confirm the requirements and provide a vehicle with the appropriate ADR authorisation.
