Lavor, a manufacturer of professional cleaning machines recently expanded their fleet with the addition of a new Maxus Deliver Pro 9. Looking for a solution to safely load heavy-duty machinery, with some weighing close to 700kg, while maintaining a professional look to match the brand appearance, Lavor turned to A & K Motor Services to find them the ideal access solution.
The Challenge
Karen Alderman from Lavor explained: “As a brand focused on professionalism and performance, we needed an access solution that was more than functional, it had to reflect the quality of our own products. Our cleaning machines are not only heavy but also central to our operation, so the ramp needed to be robust, reliable, and visually consistent with our standards.”
The Solution
Drawing on over 44 years of experience, A & K Motor Services turned to the leading brand in the vehicle access market, Vapor Ricon.
Ken Gresty of A & K Motor Services commented: “The choice was easy. We’ve always been impressed with Vapor Ricon’s craftsmanship, and Mike at Vapor Ricon helped us quickly identify the ideal ramp for the job. Its ease of operation and outstanding build quality made it the obvious choice.”
Vehicle Considerations
The ramp had to suit the payload demands of the Maxus Deliver Pro 9 while, providing practical functionality and a professional appearance. The selected Vapor Ricon ramp met all requirements with precision. The ramp, measuring 1020mm in width and 3100mm in length, is a 2-part aluminium cargo ramp featuring a single fold design. Its mesh platform ensures grip and visibility, while gas spring assistance and deployment wheels make manual operation smooth and controlled.
With a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 700kg, it comfortably supports Lavor’s heavier cleaning machines. This high-performance ramp combines strength, ease of use, and a professional appearance, perfectly complementing Lavor’s high-spec vehicle and premium brand appearance.
The Result
The Vapor Ricon ramp has enabled Lavor to transport heavy-duty cleaning equipment safely and professionally. With an aesthetically pleasing and technically reliable solution, the partnership has enhanced Lavor’s delivery capabilities without compromising brand integrity.
Ken concluded: “Vapor Ricon continues to set the benchmark in ramp and lift solutions. Their dedication to quality and service made the whole experience effortless, and the result speaks for itself.”
