The project
Created for installation on walking-floors and grain-transport tankers, the Over-Quick tarpaulin system has been redesigned ad hoc for use on bulk feed trailers. The solution was developed by working together in close synergy with the customer, Vrac Plus.
The challenge
- Overcoming the structural constraints of the tanker which has a loading inlet that is narrower and more difficult to access than the bodies on which Over-Quick is commonly installed, with consequent lack of space for integrating the standard components of the tarpaulin system.
- Guarantee maximum efficiency and accessibility by the operator during all phases of vehicle use - loading, unloading, cleaning:
- facilitate the covering and uncovering of the tank, to limit operations above ground level and guarantee the operator's safety;
- maintain space for the ladder and walkway on the front of the tank.
The solution
Over-Quick redesigned for tankers, based on a joint study with the manufacturer of the vehicle. Compared to the traditional Over-Quick solution, more compact components have been developed and produced. Furthermore, by integrating multiple functions in the same component it was possible to develop a solution with the same efficiency as the traditional system, but with a simpler and more streamlined configuration.
Advantages
- Fully automatic rolling tarpaulin system.
- Safe operation from ground level via the remote control of the vehicle, in which the tarpaulin opening and closing functions have been integrated.
- Able to cover even heaped cargo hermetically, without the need to install fastening systems on the sides of the tanker.
Patented technology
Over-Quick is a tarpaulin system patented by Cramaro. The tarpaulin, made of PVC with technical fabric reinforcements, laterally covers the container in less than 30 seconds using a system of air chambers.
