The professionals who are dedicated to the manufacture of awnings and tarpaulins for any type of bodywork(tautliner, semitautliner, arched TIR, bottle rack, etc.) know that the quality and durability of the awning is paramount. In many occasions it is not enough to manufacture an awning that protects against the inclemency of the weather, depending on each bodywork and need, features such as anti-vandalism meshes, anti-theft welding tapes, manufacture and homologation according to the XL regulations, etc. must be incorporated to the tarpaulins.
Forankra has a wide variety of products to equip the sliding tarpaulins with the appropriate fasteners for each need. We manufacture the lengths of the tape in our own workshop and we have a large stock of standard material for a fast and effective supply.
Sliding tarpaulin fastening belts. Variety of eccentric tensioners manufactured in stainless steel AISI304. We have lengths of polyester tape in standard sizes and we manufacture to measure according to each need. Hook terminals to rod and flat chassis, in steel or stainless steel according to each use.
We have a great variety of welding tapes in rolls of 100 mts and different widths. Specific welding tapes for XL car bodies with a capacity of BF2400daN. For more specific fabrications we offer the welding tape with loops and anti-theft welding tape with metal core in rolls of 150 mts.
Depending on each tricarril, one roller or another must be used so that the awning slides correctly when opening and closing the canvas. 4 wheel rollers, 2 wheel rollers with different widths, heights, diameters, etc. Rollers to pass the tape with triangle support, rollers to fix, etc., there are many varieties that we can offer for each customer and need.
TIR Convention, (Customs Convention on International Transport) specifies the requirements that the TIR cable must have in order to be able to seal tarpaulin trucks for international transport. In Forankra, we have TIR cable in several standard sizes in stock and we manufacture custom-made according to the specific needs of each case.
Mobile boxes and commercial vehicles. Tarpaulins. Minimum requirements. This standard specifies minimum requirements for the strength and attachment of tarpaulins used for containers and swap bodies intended for combined transport and may be used in other applications, e.g. commercial vehicles.
Mobile boxes and commercial vehicles. Tarpaulins. Minimum requirements for side curtains. This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the strength and attachment of tarpaulins used in swap bodies for combined transport, and can be used for other applications such as commercial vehicles.
Devices for securing loads on road vehicles. Calculation of lashing forces This European Standard is applied in the design of securing methods (blocking, lashing, and combinations) for securing loads in transport on road vehicles or parts thereof (trucks, trailers, containers and swap bodies), including their transport by ship or rail and/or combinations thereof. For the dimensioning of load securing a distinction is made between stable loads and loads prone to tilting.
In addition, acceleration factors for surface transport are specified. For overhead lashing, the force loss of the lashing tension at the outer edges between the load and the lashing is taken into account. The lashing forces taken into account for the calculation of this standard are static forces produced by the blocking or tensioning of the lashings and dynamic forces, which act on the lashing as a reaction to the load movements.
Cargo securing on road vehicles. Lashing points on commercial goods vehicles. Requirements and tests. This standard specifies the minimum requirements and test methods relating to lashing points intended for commercial vehicles and trailers for general use whose structure has a platform and whose maximum total mass is greater than 3.5t. The standard is not applicable to vehicles designed and built exclusively for the transport of bulk materials and special goods with specific requirements for the lashing of loads.
Load securing in road vehicles. Commercial vehicle body structure. Minimum requirements. This standard applies to commercial vehicle and trailer body structures. It specifies the basic minimum requirements as well as the appropriate tests applicable to standard vehicle bodies (side, front and rear walls) and reinforced vehicle bodies.
