Terberg Handles Heavy Loads at Heildelberg Materials

 


Terberg distributor N.C. Nielsen A/S has delivered 3 new Terberg RT283 tractors to Heidelberg Materials in Tinglev, Denmark, to keep the internal logistics on track at the Southern Jutland manufacturer of prefabricated concrete components. The new Terberg machines are another link in the long standing collaboration between N.C. Nielsen and Heidelberg Materials, who value technology, driver comfort, safety and service quality highly. They ensure fast, efficient and safe transport of the concrete components.

Heidelberg Materials is one of Denmark’s leading manufacturers of prefabricated concrete components, with 450 employees and sites in Tinglev, Vejle and Højbjerg. Components such as walls, floor dividers, columns and stairs are manufactured in big production facilities in Tinglev. The external area can store between 800-1,000 finished loads of building materials, ready for shipment to Denmark and Germany.

“We manufacture concrete components to order, with a maximum capacity of 10,000 m2 per week. We fabricate the components with a good lead-in time. Every day, we send out 10-60 loads that are taken directly to building sites for mounting. The process depends on a well-functioning machine fleet, where every vehicle has a carefully defined function,” said Hans Bertelsen, logistics coordinator at Heidelberg Materials.

The arrival of the Terberg RT283 terminal tractors marks a change at Heidelberg Materials, where older machines had become outdated and no longer economical to maintain. In addition to the 3 new terminal tractors, there are 4 other Terberg machines at Tinglev. These also play an integral part in the internal logistics at the company.

“There is a lot of traffic on site and the terminal tractors are indispensable for moving components from storage to collection points, and sometimes back to the production facility if additional components or adjustments are required.

The powerful terminal tractors are perfect for this process, they drive equally well on paving stones, stabilised gravel and public roads,” said Mr. Bertelsen.

The solution from N.C. Nielsen involves digital fleet management with Terberg Connect software and the client portal Yourfleet, both of which give full overview of the fleet. Digital fleet management gives Heidelberg Materials all the relevant information to optimise operations in terms of, for example, energy consumption, safety, proactive maintenance, green driving style and real-time information about who is operating the machines.

“We really value the service from N.C. Nielsen. It makes it possible to maximise operational uptime. We can't wait for a long time if there is a sudden technical problem. In such situations I can contact ‘our’ service engineer directly so we can be up and running again quickly. This is a significant part of N.C. Nielsen’s service concept, which works extremely well in all areas,” added Hans Bertelsen.

With its service concept, N.C. Nielsen takes the shortest route to the client. The personal relationship between N.C. Nielsen’s local service engineer and the key personnel at Heidelberg Materials is crucial for the delivery of service quality.
