Investments increases capacity

In 2019 LoadLok invested in a 5000m2 Centre of Excellence in Hirwaun (South Wales) including new manufacturing equipment, R&D Centre, sales offices and improved service levels. Additional expansions in 2022 brought new high-speed CNC Milling equipment and increased capacity on their integrated Rollforming equipment. This investment improves the ability to reduce lead times and increase capacity for steel and aluminum cargo restraint tracks.

Improving Manufacturing Efficiency

With the investment in integrated Rollforming lines and CNC Milling Machines, LoadLok has increased efficiency significantly. The Rollformers have been designed to deliver maximum levels of customization possibilities, with variable mounting hole and length configurations, for mechanical and adhesive fixing, along with steel tracks in all materials and finishes. This includes industry-standard tracks – LoadLok 3009, 1805, 1806, 5044 and 3011 – as well as bespoke tracks. With a CNC milling centre, LoadLok can tailor aluminum Double Decking LayerLok tracks of the 5050 and 5060 series.

“Adding value to bodybuilders and transport companies is what we have done over the last three decades. We believe that by producing customized variations of tracks, specifically optimized in length, shape, mounting holes, material and finish, we can help our customers greatly improve the handling of our tracks on their production line and save them significant mounting time”. He added, “In fact, we also supply tracks which are ready for bonding. Together with a partner we have developed a strong glue that delivers a better performance than mechanically fastened! That in combination with our manufacturing flexibility and decades of load-securing expertise enables us to deliver reliable solutions to our customers that will last for years”.
