Cargo vans, transporters and service vehicles
Wall panels, interior panels and flooring for cargo vans
Optimise the load capacity of your Transporters, Sprinters and service vehicles
Interior cladding, cargo space cladding, flooring, door cladding and shelving systems made of Foamlite®
In the transport and service sector, it is very important for transport vehicles and service vans to have a high vehicle load capacity, in order to be able to utilise the limited storage space efficiently. The lower the weight, the lower the fuel consumption and environmental pollution for the same load capacity. We support the development of lightweight, modern Transporters, Sprinters, service vehicles and tool trolleys with sheets of our lightweight material Foamlite®.

Very lightweight and robust interior cladding: Wall cladding, flooring, door cladding and shelving systems made of the lightweight material Foamlite® make a contribution towards optimising the load capacity of Transporters, Sprinters and service vans with their low weight
Foamlite® - lightweight material
Foamlite® is a closed-pore foamed plastic that combines low weight with high mechanical stability. Foamlite® sheets:
- Optimise the load capacity of your transport vehicle
- Are robust and durable
- Have a high-quality appearance

Foamlite® – Properties
Very high abrasion resistance
The loading and unloading of transported goods and tools in transport vehicles and service vans over a long period can cause damage through impacts and friction, and with that premature wear and tear, leading to a shortened service life for lorry trailers. With their high mechanical stability and scratch and shock resistance, cladding and flooring made of Foamlite® have a very long service life and a long-lasting, high-quality appearance. Tests in our in-house materials laboratory show that in comparison with tested conventional plywood (textured coated board), Foamlite® sheets have significantly higher abrasion resistance.

Test parameters: Pressure: 150 N (0.66 MPa), Abrasion area: 15 x 15 mm, Sliding partner: stainless steel, Sliding direction: oscillating, duration: 90 minutes.

High abrasion resistance and no structural damage: In tests, the surface of Foamlite® (right) demonstrates significantly higher abrasion resistance than a conventional plywood/textured coated board (left)
Built-in hinge
Foamlite® has a "built-in" hinge. All that is required is a 90 degree milled V-groove. This means it is very easy to make doors with V-grooves, for example. This saves time in the manufacturing process and eliminates additional material costs for hinges, screws and rivets.
