It offers surprising convenience, reduces maintenance costs and one technician can safely handle it. The fifth generation Metro® folding floor is here!

Sounds from the marketplace

We regularly received signals from the market about the folding floors that secure the concrete wells of Metro® containers. Whether it was possible to make them even more user-friendly and secure. VConsyst wouldn’t be VConsyst if it did nothing with these noises. Our engineers tackled the construction thoroughly. The result: the new Metro® folding floor!

Easy to open from the top

We inquired with project engineer Jurjen de Jong about the most important new features. Jurjen: “It is regulation that you can only enter a closed space, such as a concrete pit, if there are two of you. But a colleague on the lookout now becomes superfluous. After all, you no longer have to climb down a ladder to remove the valves during maintenance. You can now do that easily from above. So from now on you can safely perform maintenance on your own.”

Leave the tools

Tools to open the floor? Leave them in the service truck. The new floorboards, fitted with low-maintenance tension springs, can be removed in a flash by one person. Jurjen: “So just quickly swapping two floorboards for others is also possible.”

More room to move

“By the way, the valves can be placed on all sides of the pit,” Jurjen continues. “As a result, you can easily adjust them to the side of the insertion opening. The flexible design also gives you more room to move in the concrete pit. For example, to perform maintenance work. The extreme upward folding position is as much as 90 degrees.”

Starting now!

You had probably already drawn the conclusion: clearly increased efficiency, directly translating into cost savings. The new “hit” is available from now on!
