M.KI Tipper Truck bBody with Thermal Insulation

Road construction companies have seen a rise in the requirements for tarmac transport over recent years. The body has to be thermally insulated and must also have a heat-resistant cover to prevent heat loss out the top. Before tipping, the quality of the tarmac must be able to be checked with a valid temperature measurement. For this reason, Schmitz Cargobull now also offers the M.KI truck tipper body with thermal insulation. The thermal insulation has only added around 195 kg in weight to the trailer. The smaller volumes, improved versatility and manoeuvrability are particularly handy in confined traffic conditions, as is often the case on construction sites. The M.KI truck tipper body with full thermal insulation incorporates Schmitz Cargobull's extensive experience in the field of temperature-controlled goods transport. An optimised body shape design ensures a low centre of gravity, thereby increasing tilt stability. The premium, temperature-resistant body cover has an electric sliding tarpaulin, which can be operated safely and conveniently from ground level. The model range includes bodies with various floor thicknesses with a side wall height of 1,460 mm in different rear wall designs and offers 18 m3 in capacity.

Taiwan's Smart Machinery Solutions to Reduce Human Intervention

Recently Taiwan Excellence held the 'Taiwan Excellence Smart Machinery' online press conference with the aim to familiarize global buyers with Taiwanese smart machinery. Taiwan Excellence is an international campaign to promote Taiwan's superior products. The e-conference saw eight of Taiwan's most reputed smart machinery companies showcase their advanced smart manufacturing solutions in a bid to assist global manufacturers in managing industry upgrade and automation. For countries like India, the e-conference aimed to bolster the image of Taiwan's smart machinery industry as a major global supplier of machine tools, equipment and key components. India is an attractive option for Taiwanese companies who have the potential to play a catalyzing role. Also, in the current situation, as industries grapple with loss of migrant labor and in some cases, spread of the Covid-19 through human to human contact, the need for solutions to counter the absence of human supervision is very high. Taiwan's automated smart machinery with zero human intervention will play a vital role in both scenarios.
