Transport Logistic 2025: Double-deck inloader from Langendorf in focus
Langendorf presents sustainable double-deck technology at Transport Logistic 2025. The company announces a double-deck inloader of the Flexliner SDT type, which is structurally designed to save up to 40 percent CO2 emissions compared to conventional trailers.
The exhibited Flexliner is part of a current delivery to the Dutch Emons Group and is intended to be used in the future as part of Emons Cargo's 2WIN concept. According to Langendorf, two of these Flexliner trains can replace three conventional semi-trailers. This is made possible by maximized loading volume: The three-axle trailer shown transports up to 54 Euro pallets or 87 roll containers – which corresponds to an increase of approximately 66 percent compared to standard trailers.
Additional CO2 emission savings are achieved with the version for Emons through an integrated solar roof. The interior loader with a rigid double-deck construction offers a usable loading height of up to 3,700 millimeters. It is based on a frame made of high-quality fine-grained steel, which is additionally reinforced at more stressed points. The independent wheel suspension of the axles allows for the omission of a continuous axle tube, thus creating more space in the cargo area.
The floor and intermediate floor consist of 45-millimeter thick aluminum with a non-slip surface. For the side walls, the front wall, and the roof, Langendorf uses 25-millimeter thick GRP panels. At the rear, a hydraulic vertical lift of the Dhollanida VJH32 type with a load capacity of 3,000 kilograms is intended to ensure rapid loading and unloading on both levels. The control is carried out via a cable remote control, and a safety rail protects the operating personnel.
According to their own information, the Emons Group already uses over 180 of these double-decker trailers. The company's concept is aimed at volume-optimized transport in multi-customer operations. The vehicles used are particularly suitable for non-stackable goods with a maximum height of 1.80 meters. The customer base includes Primark, Unilever, Tesa, and Danone, among others.
Langendorf also offers the Flexliner for fresh service operations. The range of applications extends from food transport to textile and parcel services to automotive and industrial logistics. As another variant, the manufacturer offers a city version with two axles, which is also available in a short version for total train lengths of up to 11.5 meters.
In addition to the Flexliner, Langendorf has been supplying glass inloader vehicles for years to Van Huët Glass Logistics, another company of the Emons Group. These Floatliner type vehicles are specially designed for the transport of flat glass.
