Security Tension hook for additional fixing to the chassis

"Technology does not offer one-hundred percent safety" - is an old dictum. Nevertheless, the days when several hundred-weight of loaded containers would be placed inside a vehicle without any consideration for safety should long be gone. In the end it is your own health & safety that should be paramount. We have to face the facts in the knowledge, that already a 50kg piece of luggage can turn into a projectile of several tons when impacting at 30 km/h or 19 mph. We can only try to reinstate safety step-by-step. Part of this is keeping rear seats upright as well as preventive measures, e.g. avoiding the creation of projectiles by leaving loose objects lying around the vehicle. Contrary to our competition, we do put passive safety high on our list of important issues. We keep templates for all types of vehicles, which help to document all of the possible technical safety solutions for the vehicle. Hence, we are in a position to provide a bespoke safety package for your specific vehicle. In this case we are also the only provider in the market who can offer a complete solution.

Screwing down the floorplate

Ready for fitting the mobile dispensary

Example: floorplate, long with edging (seats removed)

Floorplate long for a VAN

Floorplate with accident protection locking mechanism for the mobile dispensary. The floorplate is adapted to the geometry of the luggage compartment. In addition, the floorplate is screwed onto appropriate chassis parts. Due to it's "anchor shape" the floorplate cannot move out of the luggage compartment area anyway and hence, the same applies to the mobile dispensary which is fixed by means of a steelframe and tension belts. Furthermore, the floorplate prevents any sliding in the vehicle under normal operating conditions as well as tipping over in the event that too many drawers have been opened. The original floor of the vehicle remains clean and unmarked for the future sale of the vehicle.

Floorplate with “storage below function"

Floorplate with “storage below function” If your vehicle is equipped with a loading kerb we can bridge this with a substructure corresponding in height to the kerb, which is accessible through a flap. Bulky parts, e.g. throat probes or twitches can be stowed away here. This solution has so convinced practitioners that it is now used on vehicles without a loading kerb where the spare wheel compartment is utilised instead. This creates a voluminous storage compartment and the spare wheel is left in the garage.
