Questions and Answers
FAQ
Yes you can. The loading platform helps to load very long and heavy loads into the container because it guides the FL40 shafts into the container to exactly the right place. The height and distance of the loading dock to the container to be loaded can also be adjusted to optimum with SimecSystem loading platform
Loading is possible without a SimecSystems loading platform if the loading dock is at the same height as the container. In addition, there must be no gap between the loading dock and the container.
2 degrees.
Yes you can. The handles are freely movable with quick-release fasteners in the maximum width of the device
Yes
The maximum height difference between the container and loading bridge +/- 20mm
30cm
If the height difference between the floor and the container floor is more than 20mm then the Simec Platform is needed to adjust the height, approx 150mm. Note there can also be a 300mm horizontal gap between the loading dock and the container.
Yes, the FL system can handle this. We can support such angles for load/unload
The standard beam consists of a base beam which is connected to the truck’s push bar. The length of the base beam is the same as the other beams, each connected to the base beam with a joint and connecting bolts. The standard FL40 whole beam consists of three 3.98m beams. The FL 20 rod consists of two 2.7 m beams.
Yes this is no problem at all for the FL40
Special steel. The beams are electro-galvanized.
Our Guiding Rails are recommended to attach to the platform deck. This is an accessory that basically guarantees the beams move in the right direction to ensure successful load of the cargo.
Yes, it also works when connected to the truck’s auxiliary hydraulics
Yes.
A User and Maintenance manual is provided
Yes. We provide this as part of the delivery package. This consists of spare connecting bolts for the beams, two extra wheels plus axles, assembly tools, and lifting hooks. We can support post delivery too, but this has never been necessary so far.
Yes, but it may not make sense. The dealer should be trained to service
Yes it does, but dependent on the country of delivery (mains voltage and electrical safety)
Yes it is.
We use standard car batteries so they work from Middle East to Alaska. The reason for using standard car batteries is that they can be replaced anywhere.
3 years
Approx. 14 loads.
Spare battery more practical
The battery is 12V / 65aH standard (car battery) So the car battery charger works.
Approximately 4-6h
Basic hydraulic oil AW32 (Teboil / Castrol) 10 litre. Recommended change interval is 3 years
Some other competitors require special rails inside the container so that the device can be operated. This slows down container loading measure. Some have devices pushed by hand and require more people. Other devices have specially designed parts where there is no certainty about durability. Simec’s lifting technology has been tested and is capable of lifting large weights. The Simec device is pushed with a forklift, quickly, and withstands heavy loads.
Transport
Yes we can. We constantly ship our products around the world. We only use international and large transport companies that have transport insurance for their operations.
The device is packed in an export package in a strong wooden box.
Commercial
30% when ordering. 70% on delivery. 15 days Net
No. It’s a towing device not lifting. It doesn’t require yearly inspections. It is inexpensive to use. Follow the instructions and everything is ok
Since 2018
