At Blommaert Aluminium Constructions, we pride ourselves on providing innovative and durable solutions for the logistics and maritime industries. A while ago, we embarked on an exciting project with M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG, a leading German logistics company specializing in the import and export of bulk goods. This project involved the installation of multiple mobile roofs (type delta), an investment that has since proven to be a game-changer for their transshipment operations.
Transport and logistics: time is money
Based in Neuss, Germany, M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG is a prominent player in the logistics sector, focusing on the efficient movement of bulk cargo for their customers. In addition to import and export services, they also offer storage solutions, ensuring seamless management of goods from arrival to dispatch.
In 2013, M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG sought a solution to streamline their cargo handling processes. Their goal? Faster loading and unloading of goods to optimize their supply chain and reduce downtime. After assessing their requirements, Blommaert proposed the sliding roof system, type Delta – an innovative design that would enhance operational efficiency and provide long-term value.
Delta sliding roofs: the perfect fit
The Delta sliding roof system was selected for its robust design and ease of operation. Here are some highlights of the project:
- Type: The project involved the installation of six mobile roofs, each equipped with electric controls for effortless operation.
- Scalability: Two additional roofs were added in a later phase, underscoring the scalability and adaptability of the system.
- challenges: Due to the significant height of the structures and the complexity of installing multiple sliding roofs side by side, this project demanded meticulous planning and execution. Today, it stands as one of our prestige projects.
Benefits of a type Delta mobile roof
The implementation of a mobile roof, type Delta, delivered remarkable benefits for M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG:
- Reduced labour costs: With the automated sliding roofs, operations are simplified to require only a crane operator, minimizing the need for additional workforce.
- Durability and reliability: built to withstand daily use, the roofs continue to perform seamlessly more than a decade after installation.
- Streamlined cargo handling: The roofs enable much faster loading and unloading of goods, especially for vessels.
Made to last
To ensure optimal performance, M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG benefits from an annual maintenance contract with Blommaert. This proactive approach has minimized downtime and allowed the roofs to maintain their efficiency over the years.
Mobile roofs: A long-lasting investment for logistics
As we proudly look back on this project, we are glad to report it had a lasting positive impact on M. Zietzschmann GmbH & Co. KG’s operations. At Blommaert Aluminium Constructions, we remain committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients in the logistics and maritime industries.
