Doleco USA has introduced the LayerLok XP, AF and SC double-decking systems. The LayerLok XP and AF are engineered for use in dry van and reefer applications, and the LayerLok SC is specifically designed for installation in shipping containers.
All “captive” LayerLok systems never leave the trailer and can be stowed at ceiling height when not in use. While different in design, each of the three systems has been optimized to minimize material use and weight, while maximizing strength and durability.
The LayerLok XP features an aluminum track design with beveled teeth instead of holes or slots. Single- and double-track styles are offered, each with surface-mount, semi-recessed and fully-recessed profiles available. The system’s steel head assembly and beam adjustment tool both glide within recessed slots on either side of the teeth. Optional head assemblies enable the system to operate at just 60 dB. It can also be configured with interconnecting horizontal tracks that use turntable intersections, enabling decking beams to switch from vertical to horizontal travel. The feature allows users to accommodate a wider array of cargo capacity and securement needs, by letting decking beams serve double duty as shoring beams when needed.
The LayerLok AF is designed as an alternative to the most common aircraft-track-based systems and is modeled on a complementary design, so that its tracks and decking beams are completely interchangeable with competing systems. Single-and double-track styles with surface-mount and semi-recessed versions are also available.
The LayerLok SC is designed exclusively for use in 20- and 40-foot shipping container applications. The steel tracks are engineered to be welded into position within the container body. In addition to optimizing container capacity, the LayerLok SC helps protect cargo and maintain its stability during intermodal transfers.
