The transportation and handling of hollow core slabs used in large construction projects has always been a logistical challenge. The solution came with the creation of a semi-trailer developed by Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários especially for the transportation of precast parts, the Concrete Loader.

Transportation of Hol low Core Slab - Consisting of prestressed concrete panels poured through longitudinal alveoli, hollow core slabs are widely used in large-scale works. And they have several advantages: better mechanical utilization, as they require less concrete volume than a solid slab of the same thickness due to the alveoli; in addition to being an easy-to-store system and having a good inferior finish that reduces costs, eliminating much of the carpentry, reinforcement and coating services.

Because they are industrialized parts, hollow core slabs have greater dimensional stability and control in their production. Thus, in a structural design, the share of the coefficient of variability of the material of the structural element is reduced.

Transportation - The movement and transportation of hollow core slabs had been a major challenge until then. As they are large pieces, they required robust equipment for lifting and positioning.

The ultimate solution for transporting hollow core slabs came with the Concrete Loader. This exclusive semi-trailer from Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários was developed with an independent suspension system and without axles.

In this way, Concrete Loader guarantees agility and safety in the transportation of slabs. With a well-planned logistics process, the logistics costs of this operation can be considerably reduced, reducing waiting time and rental of other equipment.

The transportation process of hollow core slabs at Concrete Loader is innovative in the industry. The slab is stored on planks that fit perfectly into the semi-trailer by means of side guides.

Due to the totally independent boards of the semi-trailer, this new logistics model guarantees extreme agility in loading and unloading the semi-trailer, in addition to allowing the parts to be stored after transportation in the desired location in a practical way and without the need for other equipment to unload the truck.

This generates great savings, especially when there is a need to rent equipment for traditional unloading. The Concrete Loader semi-trailer from Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários also has options, such as Hydropushes, which also allow the transportation of prefabricated parts up to 4m high, in addition to the transportation of slabs.
