Discover Gacon's innovative joint crossings for long life and safe, efficient traffic flow
What is a joint transition?
A joint transition is a major maintenance problem in industrial floors and warehouses. The continuous mechanical load on these joint transitions causes unevenness in the floor, which can cause major failures for trucks, stackers, forklifts and elevators. The cost of this can be high.
- Prevent structural damage
- Prevent human and machine accidents
- Professional renovation
- No cracking
- Sustainable solution
However, the solution is not as simple as it seems. To accommodate the movement of a floor, a joint transition is necessary. By applying a dilatation or break, the movement between floor sections is accommodated. A concrete floor without breaks could result in uncontrolled cracking which causes property damage.
In addition to property damage, injuries can occur to the operators of these transportation equipment. An unexpected movement of a forklift can cause extensive damage, loss of products and even soil contamination from spills of oils and chemicals.
The first signs of damage are often crumbling corners that eventually lead to serious long-term damage. On properly maintained and renovated flat floors, without disruptive breaks, major damage can be prevented and employees are more productive.
