An example of craftsmanship: delivery of a ramp to Auto Vreman in Zevenaar

At Tijhof Autotransportsystemen craftsmanship is of paramount importance. We recently proudly delivered a drive-on truck to Car Vreman in Zevenaar, built on the sturdy chassis of a Volvo FH. This imposing car is equipped with impressive specifications that emphasize its functionality and versatility.

Innovative floor construction: The ramp has a perforated plate floor with a unique design. Instead of the usual diamond plate, the floor consists of two lanes of special floor plates. Wheel stands and tension straps can be hooked into this effortlessly. A sturdy diamond plate closes the floor between the lanes. There is even a handy storage option for wheel stands on the side of the car.

Flexible lifting system: To be able to load various vehicles, the lifting system has been adapted with portals and spindles. This construction enables the floor to remain in any desired position. This means that not only passenger cars but also buses, combos and MPVs can be loaded on the upper floor.

Hydraulic functionality: The ramp is equipped with hydraulic lifting tables and an ingenious hydraulic lifting system. The rear part of the upper floor can move up and down effortlessly thanks to two angled hydraulic cylinders with nickel-chrome rods. Safety comes first, because the cylinders are protected against possible hose breakage.

Practical features: The vehicle is equipped with a tilting rear overhang with a hydraulically extending floor, making loading directly from the road surface possible. The operation is extremely user-friendly thanks to a hydraulic gear pump with a 30-liter tank and manually operated valve blocks. A Pundmann hydraulic winch with wireless radio remote control (3 functions) makes it possible to easily operate the winch and the hydraulic rear overhang.

Space for vehicles: With space for up to 3 passenger cars or 2 vans, this ramp truck offers optimal flexibility for different transport needs.

Fully equipped: In addition to the hydraulic winch and the lifting system, the ramp is equipped with practical extras. This includes three steel tool boxes, fully closed side shielding with integrated tool boxes, six galvanized wheel stands that fit perfectly in the special floor plate, and six 3-point tension straps with ratchet. The lighting meets the legal requirements of the RDW, including LED work lights on the headboard and on the back of the spindle portals.

Reliable link: In order to properly connect the ramp to various vehicles, a Brink 3500kg ball coupling is fitted as standard to the rear window. A close coupling facility with supplied crossbar and 40mm drawbar coupling under the chassis offers even more flexibility.

Remote control for optimal control: The remote control for the drawbar coupling, together with the wireless radio remote control, ensures optimal control and ease of use.

In collaboration with Auto Vreman in Zevenaar, we have delivered an example of craftsmanship and innovation with this ramp. The car is not only functional and versatile, but also exudes class, in keeping with the quality of the goods Tijhof Autotransportsystemen stands for.
