Due to its flexibility, versatility and strength, the use of aluminum has increased in industries such as offshore, industry, transportation, construction, and agriculture. In addition to lower fuel consumption, less maintenance and longer service life, aluminum profiles will provide countless possibilities for design and solutions.
Here are four good reasons why your truck deserves to have its body made of aluminium:
Aluminium weighs approximately 2.71 g / cm3, ie. one third of the weight of steel. This makes both transport of payload more efficient, while at the same time you get more efficient fuel consumption. For electric trucks, the low weight will have even more say in the utilization of battery capacity.
Due to the thin oxide layer on the aluminium surface, the metal has a natural protection against corrosion. Further surface treatment, such as painting or anodizing, can also enhance the natural corrosion-free properties. This gives you less maintenance, which means fewer costs and more time for your core business.
Even with only 0.007 mm thickness, aluminium is impermeable and also has no odor or taste. The metal is non-toxic and is often used for packaging sensitive products, such as medicines and food.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable. During the recycling process, aluminium will retain both its integrity and strength, as well as its other properties. In fact, using recycled metal in production has proven to be even more cost-effective than new metal.
