Labor gives tips to ensure safety in the transportation of reinforced concrete precast
March 21, 2023

It is a fact that one of the most challenging logistics is the transportation of precast reinforced concrete parts for civil construction.

The sector's logistics involves several third-party equipment costs that cause high expenses (such as muncks), high waiting time for loading and unloading, the transport of heavy parts (which makes it risky) and mainly, can even limit the production causing losses by making it impossible to transport large-sized parts.

 

The solution to make this logistics more efficient and safe was developed by Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários: the semi-trailer Concrete Loader.

 

Logistics of precast concrete parts - Precast reinforced concrete is a technique that has been widely used in Civil Construction. These are large pieces produced in places away from the construction site, such as factories (walls, slabs, beams, pillars, stairs and other pieces).

From there, the precast reinforced concrete parts are transported and assembled at the construction site. The precast concrete construction technique brings numerous advantages, such as reductions in construction time and labor costs, as well as improved quality of work, reduced amount of waste generated at the construction site, greater precision, and more.

 

Currently, the transport of these parts is usually done in conventional carts that limit their dimensions, because according to DENATRAN a semi-trailer cannot exceed 4,400mm in height, as well as its width of 2,600mm. Considering that a conventional trailer has a structure up to 1,400mm from the ground, this leaves a useful height of only 3,000mm for the part. Another major disadvantage of conventional transport that makes the logistic process as a whole more expensive is the need to have a munck on site to unload each truck when it arrives at the site. Thus, it is necessary to rent muncks for long periods or to delay the transport by waiting for the trucks to be unloaded. This complex logistics involves coordination between the factory, the transporter, and the construction company.

 

Thinking of a solution for this segment of reinforced concrete precast transportation, Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários started to manufacture, rent and offer transportation (with partner companies) with the "Concrete Loader".

 

O Concrete Loader allows the driver to easily load and unload panels and other large precast reinforced concrete parts (up to 4,000mm high and 10,000mm long) positioned on trestleswhere the production of the slabs can be continuous and stored in them even before transportation, because they are independent from the semi-trailer. This way, when arriving at the plant, the truck is able to load the pre-assembled trestle with the parts and take it to the destination site. When it arrives there, the semi-trailer unloads the loaded trestle and takes one that has already been unloaded back to its origin via a munck.

This means that the truck does not have to wait for the loading and unloading of the parts, speeding up the logistic process and creating the possibility of a stock of loaded trestles to decrease the munck rental time. The loading and unloading process of the Concrete loader is very simple, operated by only one person, and in up to 4 minutes the operation is completed for both loading and unloading, including the load securing system made by hydropushes, which replace conventional load securing extremely effectively.

The Concrete Loader semi-trailer for transporting pre-molded reinforced concrete parts also features Labor's exclusive air suspension, which dispenses with the axle beam, independent on each of its sides. Thus, the transference of soil irregularities is drastically reduced and the possibility of tipping over is practically null.
