Leaks – Transport Industry Dilemma

A lot is being discussed about the importance of the maritime industry but without the road transport industry there would be a huge setback in the business world. All of the transport industries are interconnected and interrelated. They all support each other and are dependent on each other because a ship would only transport the goods on the oceans and seas, after reaching the dock the goods are handed over to the road transporters who then carry the goods to their final destinations. The problems of these industries are also a lot same as they have to face the pressurizing deadlines and most importantly, they have to keep their vehicles absolutely leak free and weather proof.

The most important task they have to perform repeatedly is to keep checking their tightness of hatch with ultrasound. Without the checking of tightness with the ultrasonic device the vehicles get problematic as they develop holes which destroy packages and consignments onboard. There are all kinds of packages which need to be delivered all over the world. Some packages are very sensitive and need to be saved from the harsh weather and especially the water and humidity. This is the reason why we see all delivery vans completely sealed.

Due to the nature of their work, delivery vehicles are subjected to very harsh treatments. There are many huge and bulky packages which are needed to be transported and they are loaded or unloaded in the vehicles they bump against the walls. This bumping leaves an impact on the vehicle’s body and the paint which is one of the most important aspects of a vehicle, apart from making it look attractive serves as insulation against rust. When the paint is chipped or peeled off due to any reason (most probably scratching and scraping of the goods), the humidity in the air causes rust to be formed on it.

There is no need to explain the chemical properties of rust and we all know it, once it appears, it starts spreading very quickly. The unfortunate body of the vehicle that catches rust loses the iron from that spot and a hole appears in its place. This is where the water and humidity finds a place to get inside without anyone noticing and only to find out when the damage has been done. Using the hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing the location of such holes is easily found out. After learning about the leaks in the vehicle’s body they can be removed and the vehicle would again be leak free and weather proof at the same time.
