An incorrect selection can not only compromise safety, but also affect operational efficiency, legal compliance and company reputation. Here is expert guidance for you to make informed decisions, maximising safety and optimising your operations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Know the type of goods<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cargo classification is the first step in selecting a suitable tanker. Depending on whether you are transporting liquids, gases or solids, the characteristics of the truck will vary significantly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Liquids: Tanks with watertight compartments are used to prevent leaks and allow the safe transport of flammable, corrosive or toxic liquids. The choice of tank material (stainless steel, aluminium, etc.) should be based on chemical compatibility with the product.<\/li>\n<li>Gases: For the transport of compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases, it is essential to use pressure tanks designed to withstand high internal pressures. These tanks must meet specific standards to prevent explosions or leaks.<\/li>\n<li>Solids: If you are transporting hazardous solid materials, such as powders or granulates, tanks must be leakproof and often pressurised to facilitate unloading and prevent exposure to the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Assess the physical characteristics of the product<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The physical properties of the product directly influence the choice of tank. Consider factors such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Viscosity and density: products with high viscosity require tanks with heating systems to maintain fluidity, while high density materials may require structural reinforcements in the tank.<\/li>\n<li>Corrosivity: For corrosive products, it is essential to use tanks lined with special materials or constructed of stainless steel to avoid premature deterioration and possible leaks.<\/li>\n<li>Transport temperature: Some products need to be transported at controlled temperatures. Tanks with thermal insulation or cooling systems are necessary in these cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Compliance with rules and regulations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The transport of dangerous goods is highly regulated internationally and locally. Make sure that the selected tank complies with the following regulations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road): Ensure that the vehicle meets all the technical specifications required for each type of goods.<\/li>\n<li>National regulations: Each country may have additional or stricter regulations than ADR. It is vital to be aware of these to avoid penalties and ensure safe transport.<\/li>\n<li>Certifications: Check that the tanks have the relevant certifications (ISO, ASME, among others) that endorse their use for the transport of dangerous goods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Capacity and operational efficiency<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The capacity of the tank must match the amount of product to be transported. Avoid overloading the tank or using one with a much larger capacity than necessary, as both scenarios can be inefficient or dangerous.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Route optimisation: Choose tanks that are adapted to the planned transport routes. For example, in mountainous areas or areas with narrow roads, smaller and more manoeuvrable tanks may be more efficient.<\/li>\n<li>Technology and maintenance: Opt for tanks that integrate real-time monitoring technology for temperature, pressure and possible leaks. Also, ensure that equipment is regularly and rigorously maintained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Expert advice and staff training<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Expert advice on the transport of dangerous goods is key to making the right decision. In addition, ongoing training of transport staff is vital to ensure that they understand and comply with all safety regulations and procedures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about dangerous goods transport or any of our services, please do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/fernandezaedo.com\/en\/contact\/\">contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right road tanker is a crucial decision in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<h1>La crisis de los conductores de mercanc\u00edas: el reto inminente del transporte<\/h1>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los transportistas de mercanc\u00edas tienen un papel clave, ya que son los encargados de garantizar el transporte de bienes y productos necesarios para mantener un correcto funcionamiento de las distintas cadenas de suministros. Este proceso a su vez es esencial para la econom\u00eda del pa\u00eds, ya que asegura el abastecimiento de las empresas y su capacidad para generar empleo e ingresos.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pesar de su importancia, esta profesi\u00f3n parece estar en peligro de extinci\u00f3n y esta situaci\u00f3n no parece generar suficiente alarma entre las autoridades pertinentes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u00bfSab\u00edas que s\u00f3lo el 6% de los conductores que trabajan en el sector europeo del transporte de mercanc\u00edas por carretera son j\u00f3venes?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esta cifra resulta muy alarmante <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">y es importante que se tomen medidas inmediatas para evitar que la situaci\u00f3n empeore a\u00fan m\u00e1s.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En Espa\u00f1a se presenta una situaci\u00f3n similar, el 70% de los transportistas tienen m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os. La brecha existente entre los conductores que se jubilan y los transportistas nuevos que se incorporan en esta profesi\u00f3n sigue aumentando y se espera que esta situaci\u00f3n se triplique en toda Europa. Actualmente, se estima que se necesita contratar a medio mill\u00f3n de conductores, y se prev\u00e9 que la tasa de puestos vacantes para transportistas aumente hasta superar el 60% para el a\u00f1o 2026.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El problema de la falta de conductores de camiones, que ahora se ha convertido en una emergencia, comienza a ser una preocupaci\u00f3n para los 27 pa\u00edses miembros de la Uni\u00f3n Europea, gracias a las organizaciones del sector que han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre ello. En respuesta, la Comisi\u00f3n Europea ha propuesto adelantar la edad m\u00ednima para obtener la licencia de conducir C para veh\u00edculos pesados a los 17 a\u00f1os, permitiendo que los j\u00f3venes conduzcan bajo supervisi\u00f3n hasta los 18 a\u00f1os. Aunque esta medida podr\u00eda ayudar en la actual crisis de falta de conductores, no ser\u00e1 suficiente para solucionar el problema por s\u00ed solo. Adem\u00e1s, en muchos pa\u00edses de la UE se requiere tener m\u00e1s de 21 a\u00f1os para conducir un cami\u00f3n, y en algunos casos incluso m\u00e1s de 24 a\u00f1os.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n<b>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En cuanto a la formaci\u00f3n no reglada :<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0El proceso de preparaci\u00f3n suele durar alrededor de un a\u00f1o, e implica la obtenci\u00f3n del carn\u00e9 de conducir B, la superaci\u00f3n del Certificado de Aptitud Profesional (CAP) de 280 horas, y la aprobaci\u00f3n del permiso de conducci\u00f3n C para camiones pesados r\u00edgidos, seguido del C+E para tr\u00e1ileres. La \u00faltima parte de esta formaci\u00f3n, que incluye el CAP y los carn\u00e9s para camiones, puede costar entre 4.000 y 6.000 euros, es decir, aproximadamente lo mismo que estudiar una carrera en una universidad p\u00fablica.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mediante formaci\u00f3n oficial (Formaci\u00f3n Profesional) :<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Existen dos alternativas: cursar el Grado Medio de Conducci\u00f3n de Veh\u00edculos de Transporte por Carretera (grado D de FP) u obtener el Certificado de Profesionalidad (grado C de FP).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Para la primera alternativa, en Espa\u00f1a, \u00fanicamente hay una decena de centros de FP imparten la formaci\u00f3n de 2.000 horas (dos cursos escolares) para obtener el t\u00edtulo de T\u00e9cnico en Conducci\u00f3n de Veh\u00edculos de Transporte por Carretera, pero esta titulaci\u00f3n no habilita autom\u00e1ticamente para conducir un cami\u00f3n, ya que es necesario obtener los permisos de conducci\u00f3n correspondientes de la DGT. Para la segunda opci\u00f3n, el candidato debe poseer los permisos de conducci\u00f3n de cami\u00f3n antes de iniciar la preparaci\u00f3n del Certificado de Profesionalidad (aproximadamente 400 horas), el cual adem\u00e1s requiere aprobar el examen del CAP.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No obstante, en el sector del transporte no basta con haber finalizado un ciclo formativo de FP para poder acceder al mercado laboral de forma directa.
