Vehicles for high-cube transport.
Van Eck plays a leading part in the development
of bodies for transporting airfreight pallets.
Van Eck was responsible for the construction of both
the 5- and 7-pallet semi-trailer. Our latest model
is a semi-trailer for 4 jumbo-pallets.

and a convertible roof for easy loading and unloading. |
Van Eck constructs a range of bodies for motorized
vehicles drawing Van Eck trailers, as well as for
Van Eck semitrailers to be used in transportation of air-freight
pallets. We also construct, in compliance with
ATP standards, hoods, sliding-roof hoods, sliding
tarpaulin frames, closed plywood bodywork and even
insulated bodywork for refrigerated/deep-freeze
transportation.

four
maindeck pallets. Internal height more than 300 cm.

| Refrigerated truck/trailer
combination suitable for transporting maindeck pallets
as well as vegetation, e.g. flowers and plants. |

| Roller bed control panel. |
The bodies of airfreight service vehicles are fitted
with five pneumatic roller conveyors, with a roller width
of 100 mm. These roller conveyors are built into the
floor, and are part of a fully integrated automatic
loading/unloading system operated by remote control.
The loading/unloading system works either on the basis of
an endless conveyor belt, or on the basis of hydraulically
driven rollers, and complies with Lufthansa standards.
The 7-pallet semitrailer and 4-pallet trailer are
only available in closed models, as they are equipped
with three and two hydraulic dividing floors respectively,
each with a lifting capacity of 4000 kgs. Van Eck
swan-neck semitrailers are equipped with a pneumatic lift,
which has a lifting capacity of 6000 kgs.

Technological pioneers.
Jürgen Georgi, managing director,
Georgi Transporte,
Burbach, Germany: 'We have been succesfully using Van Eck trailers
since 1985. We selected them as our supplier because
in those days, there weren't as many high-cube body
builders around.'
'There is a lot of competition between body builders
today. We stay with Van Eck because of the excellent
product quality and the leading position that they have
in innovative designs.'
Georgi Transporte specialises in airfreight service
transport. The company operates trucks. trailers
and semitrailers for four or five maindeck airfreight
pallets. A hundred vehicles have been built by Van Eck
'High-cube transport equipment is available from numerous
suppliers these days, but we prefer to use the newest
technology, applied in a sensible manner, such as
powered roller beds for loading and unloading.'
