Protection of lorries, swap bodies and buildings with ram buffers
Protecting lorries, swap bodies and buildings with ram buffers is essential nowadays, primarily to avoid the costs that would result from damage. Ramp buffers, also known as rubber buffers or impact protection, are made from either new rubber or vulcanised secondary rubber. These last 2 to 3 times longer than new rubber. They are ideal for use as impact protection when driving onto loading ramps and levelling bridges and fit 90% of all standard levelling bridges. These standard levelling ramps include, to name but a few: Dyna-Seal, Caema, Hafa, Flexion, Hörmann, Loading, Koch, Novofern, Nani, Trepel and many more. These ramps provide excellent protection for lorries, swap bodies and building protection and are very robust and shock-absorbing. These ramps are inexpensive and very economical and can be replaced quickly and easily. If you only want to switch to ram buffers, that's no problem either, and you can order these ram buffers inexpensively and made to measure. Especially in the area of transfer and swap bodies, there is often the problem that they are equipped with buffers that are too small and therefore cannot withstand the constant loads. These undersized buffers can lead to damage more quickly and, due to the overload, they have to be replaced too often, which in turn is not exactly economical. In this case, you should use galvanised and larger buffers, which also have a primed screw-on plate or weld-on plate. These are simply welded or screwed onto the existing base plate. If you want to have these ramps custom-made to protect lorries, swap bodies and buildings, all you have to do is specify the dimensions with the base plate bore and thread size, and you will receive the screw set ready-made in the correct size you need. Installation is simple, quick and clean, and you'll be done in no time. You can find suppliers quickly and easily online, and you should compare prices beforehand, taking into account the service offered by each supplier, so that you don't end up paying more in the long run because you saved money on the purchase but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.
Function and areas of application of rubber buffers for lorries
Rubber buffers for lorries are available in two different materials. They are available in new rubber or vulcanised secondary rubber. In addition, steel discs and steel sleeves are processed in vulcanised form. This gives the rubber buffer even greater durability and quality. Naturally, the aim is to achieve the longest possible service life, which can only be guaranteed by using high-quality materials and high-quality workmanship. Rubber buffers are ideal for protecting loading ramps and levelling bridges from impact. The dimensions of the impact buffers are usually standardised so that they fit most loading bridges without any problems. They are robust and absorb shocks, thus ensuring optimum protection for vehicles. An important factor when installing rubber buffers is that they can be easily replaced. This is the only way to ensure quick and practical usability. The purpose of these ram buffers is to absorb the forces generated by heavy vehicles pulling away. This prevents damage to both the vehicle and the trailer. To ensure truly reliable protection, it is important to make sure that the rubber buffer is of high quality and not just a cheap imitation. In that case, neither the reliability nor the durability of the product would be guaranteed. Rubber buffers are available in various shapes and sizes. In addition to standard sizes, custom sizes are also available. These can be manufactured to suit the customer's requirements. The shape and size depend on the respective task. Rubber buffers that protect the loading ramp, for example, tend to be long and narrow. Of course, square rubber buffers with a large surface area are also available. Rubber buffers not only protect the vehicle but also the masonry under certain circumstances. Damage caused by collisions can be almost completely avoided with good protection. It is important to check the rubber buffers regularly in order to detect damage caused by wear and tear at an early stage and to replace the buffers in good time. Rubber buffers are a cost-effective alternative for ensuring good protection. They are also flexible and easy to replace at low cost.
