The six new Pacton/Floor trailers for Rumping Transport in Beverwijk are received enthusiastically by both the management and the drivers.“The trailers have already been dubbed 'Floortje' internally and everyone wants to drive them,” says owner Jaap Rumping.The new trailers are used for various open transport throughout Southwest Europe, especially in the Benelux, France and Germany.Rumping Transport will receive six three-axle, rigid semi-trailer chassis with floor type TXD.342.L422 from Pacton Trailers from Ommen in phased delivery.With a coupling load of 15 tons and three nine-ton axles, a total permissible weight of 42 tons is created.The 13.64 meter long trailer from Pacton is equipped with the latest bulkhead – called Solid – for this type of trailer.The TÜV-certified bulkhead with a load of up to 35 tons is available in a number of standard heights, in this case 1.70 metres.The BPW air suspension with drum brakes rests on 6 steel rims 22.5 x 11.75.There is a Wabco electronically controlled air brake system EBS type 2S/2M, an anti-tilt system (Wabco RSS), two ISO connections and a parking brake by means of spring brake cylinders.The shiplapped hardwood floor is 28 mm thick.There are 8 twistlock plates with twistlocks installed in the floor for the placement of 40ft and 2x20ft containers.For load securing and compartmentalisation, there are 2 x 12 stanchion tubes in the side beam, 4 rows of stake tubes wagon-wide and 2 x 8 eight-ton lashing eyes in the edge profile.The attractive and fully colored Floor trailers – with the attractive and typical Floor rear – are sprayed for extra long life.A range of options makes the trailers more than complete.The complete lighting is made of LED, including the flashing light on a support in the light box with a switch on the headboard.In addition, there is also a stainless steel tool box and a galvanized wagon-wide log box.Jaap and Niels Rumping, the fourth generation, are at the helm of the company.Already in 1928 great-grandfather JWJ Rumping started the transport company.At an international level, Rumping Transport is specialized in the transport of steel, pallets and bulk transport.Rumping's services are largely focused on all kinds of building materials and machines.However, the open trailers are also frequently used for the transport of large tents and temporary accommodations for major events.This diverse deployment requires multifunctional and flexible trailers that can also take a beating.Jaap Rumping: “We arrive at the most beautiful locations, such as directly under the Eiffel Tower, and that requires good equipment and excellent drivers.The turnover of our 85 drivers is not great.As a family business that is almost 100 years old, we function in a personal and people-oriented way and according to honest standards and values.”Rumping Transport works with 85 drivers plus hire, with a fleet of 75 trucks and 125 trailers available.These include tank silos, city trailers with a truck-mounted forklift (and truck-mounted crane), tautliners for coil transport and open trailers.“Thanks to our own workshop, we are not dependent on third parties and we keep our services very flexible,” says Rumping.About the recent choice for Pacton, he says: “My father, Jaap senior, had worked with Floor trailers in the distant past and had good experiences with them.They are strong, solid trailers, with a low own weight nowadays, which stand out because of the well-finished and well-thought-out detailing.So when we were looking for new flat trailers, we also inquired at Pacton;also a very involved and Dutch company.The first three trailers have now been delivered and they are really beautiful.It is not for nothing that the drivers like to drive a 'Floortje'.In our custom-made version, they are designed for multifunctional use, with many stanchions, heavy lashing eyes and twistlocks and efficient storage options.This way they can be optimally arranged and used for many types of transport.Floortje is at home in all markets.”Pacton Trailers is located in Ommen.Trailers have been produced under the Pacton brand since 1950, and the Kennis and Floor brands were added in 2010.As may be expected from a leading Dutch trailer builder, Pacton Trailers designs and produces all its semi-trailers and trailers in close consultation with its customers.The email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.See how your comment data is processed.and go well-informed!
