My name is Douglas Donaldson, the director of Automated Truck Curtain Systems, trading as Ramp Tech.
Ramp Tech is an R and D workshop operating in a small country town called Iona, in East Gippsland Victoria. We are about one hour from Melbourne.
During the development of The Ramp Tech Truck Curtain system we have produced 6 vehicles. These vehicles are operating throughout Australia.
Description of the operation of Ramp Techs Buckle Free, Load Rated, Truck Curtain System:
When the driver closes the truck curtain, the truck curtain track slides 100 mm sidewards which lifts the truck curtain track up a series of ramps by 40 mm. This make the truck curtain drum tight. When the driver opens the truck curtain the track slides 100 mm in the opposite direction, lowering the truck curtain track down a series of ramps. This making the truck curtain very loose and easy to open.
It takes seconds to open and close the truck curtains rather than minutes.
The drum tight truck curtains are more aerodynamic, thus saving fuel.
There are no buckles to catch onto anything. This also reduces the width of the vehicle by 38mm
We currently have all tooling and stock to produce more buckle free load rated curtain sided vehicles.
Included in the sale of the business is:
All stock, included Aluminium extrusions, pelmet, laser cut ramps and 24 volt actuators.
An Isuzu 8 pallet truck with the Buckle Free Load Rated Truck Curtain System.
Production is scalable, and would be more suited to a larger manufacturing facility.
The ideal buyer for this business would be a person or entity that is looking for an opportunity to become the leading manufacturer of curtain sided trucks and trailers in Australia, New Zealand and possibly the world. This system offers a huge competitive advantage for a truck body builder to win market share.
Ultimately this product will improve the flow of logistics substantially as it dramatically reduces the time it takes to load and unload a vehicle. There are also fuel savings to be made due to improved aerodynamics.
Our first prototype truck was purchase in late 2013. It was a 12 pallet 1988 Hino. It was affectionately known as the 1 to 1 model. We now have a newer 1 to 1 model, which is an 8 pallet Isuzu. This Vehicle is currently being used daily at my brothers factory in Campbellfield.
