Nesvarbu, ar gabenate krovinius per tarptautines sienas, ar valdote sunkiasvorių sunkvežimių parką, kruopštus transporto priemonių valymas ir priežiūra gali turėti didelės įtakos jų našumui, ilgaamžiškumui ir bendram veiklos efektyvumui. Laimei, patikimą ir patogią sunkvežimių plovyklą netoli jūsų gyvenamosios vietos rasti nesunku - skaitykite toliau ir sužinokite, kaip tai padaryti.

Ką apima sunkvežimių plovimas?

Kai kalbama apie transporto priemonių valymą, sunkvežimiams reikia specialių patalpų ir įrangos, kad būtų patenkinti jų unikalūs reikalavimai.

Vieta ir prieinamumas

Sunkvežimių plovyklos strategiškai išdėstytos prie pagrindinių greitkelių ir tarpvalstybinių išvažiavimų, kad būtų lengva pasiekti plovyklą ir kuo mažiau trikdomas sunkiasvorių transporto priemonių srautas. Toks išdėstymas leidžia tolimųjų reisų vairuotojams greitai ir patogiai nuvykti į reikiamas plovimo paslaugas, nesudarant sunkumų judėti perpildytomis miestų gatvėmis.

Reikalavimai įrangai ir patalpoms

Kadangi sunkvežimiams reikia tvirtesnės ir galingesnės technikos, kad jie galėtų susidoroti su purvu, purvu ir kelio šiukšlėmis, kurios kaupiasi ant jų plataus paviršiaus, plovimo paslaugoms paprastai reikia didesnių aikštelių, didesnių atstumų ir specialios įrangos, įskaitant aukšto slėgio plovimo įrenginius ir ilgo nuotolio šepečius.

Išteklių suvartojimas ir sąnaudos

Sunkvežimiams plauti paprastai reikia daugiau vandens ir elektros energijos dėl transporto priemonių dydžio ir tūrio, taip pat dėl poreikio atlikti intensyvesnes valymo procedūras. Toks didesnis išteklių naudojimas lemia didesnes veiklos sąnaudas, kurios vėliau atsispindi kainoje.

Paslaugų pasiūla ir specializacija

Sunkvežimių plovykloje daugiausia dėmesio skiriama visapusiškam išorės valymui, įskaitant specializuotas paslaugas, pavyzdžiui, variklio nuriebalinimą ir purvasaugių plovimą, kad būtų patenkinti unikalūs sunkiasvorių komercinių transporto priemonių švaros palaikymo poreikiai ir iššūkiai.

Sunkvežimių plovyklų kraštovaizdžio navigacija su SNAP

Nearby is a shopping centre, and a water sports centre for extra activities outside of TWV." Providing drivers with a wide range of facilities and entertainment is not the only thing the truck park does incredibly well. The safety and security of TWV is something the team has made great progress on throughout the years. "TWV is a secure car park with ESPORG Gold certification. The site has 24/7 security guards, fences, and 80 on-site cameras. All of which are monitored." Emilie explains.

VAIRUOTOJŲ DARBO LAIKO DIREKTYVA: VADOVAS SUNKVEŽIMIŲ VAIRUOTOJAMS

Miranda Blake

As a lorry driver in the UK, it’s crucial to have a firm grasp of the complex regulations surrounding driver working hours and rest periods. The Drivers’ Working Time Directive (WTD), also known as the Road Transport Directive, is a set of rules that governs the maximum hours a driver can work, the mandatory breaks they must take, and the required rest periods they must observe. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty fines and even the immobilisation of your vehicle.The Drivers’ Working Time Directive is a European Union legislation that aims to ensure the safety of all road users by preventing fatigue-related accidents. apply to those driving vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes, regardless of whether the individual operates within the UK or across the EU.Under the WTD, truck drivers in the UK are subject to a daily driving cap of 9 hours, which can be increased to 10 hours a maximum of twice per week. After 4.5 hours of continuous or intermittent driving, drivers must take a break of at least 45 minutes. Alternatively, they can opt for a split break, where the first is at least 15 minutes, followed by a second of at least 30 minutes.There’s a weekly driving limit for UK lorry drivers, which is 56 hours, while the fortnightly cap is 90 hours. This means that if a driver clocks 56 hours in 1 week, they can only work for 34 hours the following week to ensure they do not go over the 90-hour fortnightly limit.In addition to the driving time restrictions, the WTD also imposes limits on the total number of hours a driver can work per week. Average weekly working time, including both driving and non-driving tasks, must not surpass 48 hours, calculated over a 17-week or 26-week reference period. Maximum working time in a single week is 60 hours, provided the 48-hour average is not exceeded.The WTD requires to take a daily rest period of at least 11 consecutive hours, which can be split into 2 periods with the first being at least 3 hours long. Drivers can also opt for a reduced daily rest period of nine hours, but this can only be done up to three times per week. Additionally, a weekly rest period of at least 45 hours is mandatory, although this can be lowered to 24 hours once in a 2-week period.While the WTD applies to the majority of UK lorry drivers, there are certain exceptions that may apply in specific circumstances. For example, those who do not drive more than 10 times within a 26-week period or 15 times within a timeframe exceeding 26 weeks may not be required to monitor their working time directive.Failing to adhere to the WTD can have serious consequences for both drivers and . Drivers caught in breach of the regulations can face fines of up to £1,500, and if they break the rules more than 5 times in 28 days, they may be taken to court and have their vehicle immobilised.For fleet operators, the onus is on maintaining compliance throughout the entire fleet. Neglecting to implement sufficient measures to monitor and enforce the WTD can result in the DVSA issuing a notice to improve, and in extreme cases, a requirement to cease operations until the issues are resolved.To effectively manage driver working hours and ensure compliance with the WTD, fleet operators should consider investing in tachograph-integrated fleet management solutions. These purpose-built technologies allow for efficient monitoring of driver behaviour and automatic logging of driving and working time data, making it virtually impossible for non-compliance to go unnoticed.By partnering with a trusted provider like , fleet operators can leverage cutting-edge fleet management tools and gain access to a comprehensive network of service partners, making sure that their drivers have the support they need to stay compliant and safe on the road.There’s also the in the UK to consider. It’s proving to be a big problem within the industry. The industry has seen a drop in HGV drivers – the pandemic delayed 30,000 tests for new drivers, and Brexit hit fleet companies hard – with many European truck drivers leaving the UK. A 2023 report from SNAP suggests the sector could reach a 'tipping point' in the next 10-15 years. It may prove that the Drivers’ Working Time Directive is just what the industry needs to make the profession desirable again and provide better balance for drivers.
