4 Tidy and secure<br />
Aluminium and <strong>ALUCA</strong><br />
<strong>System</strong><br />
5<br />
“This is what we’re here for.”<br />
Clear, tidy and functional.<br />
“A winning material.”<br />
Really light. Truly strong. Genuine aluminium.<br />
Tools, me<strong>as</strong>uring equipment,<br />
spare parts, consumables and<br />
other parts must be stowed<br />
away in the service van in a<br />
safe and organized manner.<br />
Ergonomics and loading regulations<br />
must be taken into account<br />
here by both the owner<br />
and driver of the service van,<br />
which generally also h<strong>as</strong> to fulfil<br />
a dual role <strong>as</strong> a mobile workshop<br />
and a mini-warehouse.<br />
<strong>ALUCA</strong>’s van racking systems in<br />
aluminium provide maximum stability<br />
and offer the user the greatest<br />
possible payload weight. The<br />
extremely low weight of the actual<br />
units does not only have a<br />
positive effect on fuel use: it also<br />
improves p<strong>as</strong>sive safety for the<br />
van driver.<br />
Aluminium is known <strong>as</strong> a lightweight<br />
yet very sturdy material<br />
and is used successfully where<br />
low weight and strength is required.<br />
Aircraft manufacturers<br />
and companies that build highspeed<br />
trains have relied on this<br />
tried-and-tested material for<br />
decades.<br />
Although aluminium is extremely<br />
lightweight, if the material is<br />
of an appropriate thickness and<br />
processed correctly, it is <strong>as</strong> sturdy<br />
<strong>as</strong> steel.<br />
The main advantages of aluminium are:<br />
• Minimal weight<br />
• Resistance to corrosion<br />
• High strength<br />
• Stylish appearance<br />
• Excellent to recycle<br />
From <strong>ALUCA</strong>’s point of view the positive characteristics<br />
of aluminium form the b<strong>as</strong>is of the unique van racking<br />
systems that offer the following advantages:<br />
• Weight saving of up to 50% compared to van racking<br />
made of steel or wood<br />
• Lower fuel consumption and less wear to the vehicle<br />
• Higher payload for more tools, spare parts or<br />
consumables “on board”<br />
• It looks good naturally without using paint or<br />
powder coatings<br />
• The product h<strong>as</strong> an extremely long life and can be<br />
removed and installed in other vehicles, if it is<br />
handled correctly<br />
• Incre<strong>as</strong>es the p<strong>as</strong>sive safety for the driver of the<br />
service van<br />
„Aluminium plays a key role in providing a costeffective<br />
and acceptable way of satisfying b<strong>as</strong>ic<br />
needs such <strong>as</strong> mobility, facilities for the home,<br />
safety, healthy nutrition and medical care“<br />
