Standing shoulder to shoulder for transport safety
Dolezych and BPW now supply the iGurt
BPW and Dolezych are pulling together: the specialist for load securing technology and BPW Bergische Achsen KG are now distributing the iGurt developed by BPW: a sensor that monitors the tension of the lashing straps while driving and thus protects against load damage and accidents.
German Innovation Award, iF Design Award, Trailer Innovation Award: the iGurt from BPW has already won numerous major awards. It is now available immediately: the standard package for 99.00 euros plus VAT includes the iGurt sensor system, the Dolezych belt with 7.5 meter loose end (belt length) and a fixed end with DoMulti long-lever tension ratchet. The purchase of the iGurt is eligible for funding under the German government's de minimis program. The handy sensor measures the pre-tensioning force during lashing and while driving and displays it on the body, the driver's smartphone and, if desired, in the telematics portal. This allows the correct load securing to be monitored and documented in real time; damage caused by excessive tension can also be reliably avoided.
"The iGurt is a great benefit for transport safety, because it pays for itself and is absolutely uncomplicated to use," explains Uwe Schöbel, Head of the Dolezych Technology Department. "Dolezych and BPW worked closely together to coordinate the overall system. Freight forwarders, traffic experts and drivers were also involved in the development work, which is what makes the system so practice-oriented." BPW Product Manager Katharina Kermelk adds: "BPW and Dolezych are successful, globally active family businesses from North Rhine-Westphalia with distinctive development expertise that are actively shaping the future and investing in new ideas. We are delighted about this alliance; together we can help innovative solutions for transport safety achieve a breakthrough."
The load securing system is supplied in four different complete sets. In addition to the iGurt sensor, it includes Dolezych straps in different loose ends of 7.5 or 9.5 meters as well as fixed ends with two different types of ratchet (short lever tension ratchet for up to 300 daN pre-tensioning force and DoMulti long lever tension ratchet for up to 600 daN pre-tensioning force).
