How do Ekeri trailers ensure easy loading in logistics?

Having the capacity to easily load goods and materials onto vehicles in logistics plays a crucial role in streamlining the entire supply chain, from warehousing right through to transportation to delivery.

It helps to simplify our operations, reduce costs, enhance safety, and ultimately provide a more efficient and reliable service to our customers here in the UK and beyond.

Here at Barnes, we use Ekeri trailers to ensure we can load goods onto our vehicles safely and efficiently. In this blog we’ll explore how these trailers help us when it comes to ensuring we can easily load our vehicles and improve our operational agility.

 

What is an Ekeri trailer?

An Ekeri trailer is a special piece of equipment that is highly adaptable and suitable for several logistical purposes, making it an ideal option for various types of cargo and transport requirements.

A key aspect of the Ekeri trailer is it’s designed to provide easy access to the cargo, which allows for the efficient loading and unloading of goods and materials. The trailers often come with sliding roofs and walls, rear hydraulic lift systems, and side openings, making it easier to load and transport different types of goods.

Ekeri trailers come equipped with load securing systems to guarantee the stability and safety of the cargo during transportation and prevents the goods from shifting or getting damaged while in transit.

 

How Ekeri trailers benefit our operations

Lifting cargo onto our HGVs

Ekeri trailers also often come with sliding roofs and walls, allowing easy access to the cargo from the top and sides. This feature is particularly useful when loading and unloading goods with different dimensions, as it enables side loading using a forklift or crane.

Some trailers also have side-opening capabilities, which means they have large side doors that open fully, providing excellent access to the cargo. This design is especially helpful for loading and unloading items that are long, bulky, or difficult to manoeuvre through standard rear doors.

In addition, many are equipped with a rear hydraulic lift system, which allows the entire cargo floor to be raised and lowered hydraulically, simplifying the loading and unloading process. This feature is especially beneficial when dealing with hazardous goods for our customers.

 

Versatility

One of the best things about the Ekeri trailer is that it’s specifically designed to be lightweight yet robust, which really helps when it comes to increasing freight capacity while still complying with regulations.

In addition, the fact that these trailers are lightweight means that our HGVs have a better fuel efficiency, which helps to lower operating costs.

The trailers also have extendable floors, which can be elongated to accommodate different types of cargo, such as timber or pipes. Their adaptability ensures that we can load various types of goods and materials onto our vehicles that can then be efficiently delivered to customers.

Extendable floors are complemented by a customisable interior, which allows us to tailor the trailer’s configuration depending on the requirements of the cargo, with the greater flexibility allowing for easy adjustments to be made.

 

User-friendly features

Ekeri trailers have a number of controls and mechanisms that are simple to use, which allows our drivers and logistics team to operate the trailer efficiently and without any complications.

The trailers also have several safety features which mean our team can load freight in a safe and secure way. One of the key safety features is the load securing system which ensures that cargo is kept stable and secure during deliveries.

This feature prevents the goods from sustaining damage and reducing the risk of accidents happening during loading and unloading.

Ekeri trailers enable the brilliant Barnes team to safely and efficiently load goods onto vehicles, which means we can streamline our operations and effectively carry out crucial deliveries for our customers.
