Preventive maintenance of vehicles transporting dangerous goods, regulated by ADR regulations, is crucial, especially in the face of seasonal changes. With the onset of winter and the adverse weather conditions that often accompany it, it is essential to ensure that every component of road tankers is in optimum condition. This not only ensures road safety, but also strict compliance with ADR regulations, which require vehicles and their components to operate in accordance with current legal standards at all times.<\/p>\n

The correct functioning of the heating system is crucial to ensure driver safety and to avoid problems with temperature-sensitive goods. In the case of flammable or corrosive products, a poor heating system can jeopardise transport safety.<\/p>\n

Low temperatures can harden tyres and affect the braking system. It is therefore necessary to check that tyres are suitable for wet or icy surfaces, and that brakes are properly maintained, especially in ADR trucks transporting hazardous substances.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In winter, low temperatures reduce the capacity of batteries, so it is essential to check their condition, ensure that electrical connections are in good condition and ensure that all signalling devices are working properly. Fog lights and hazard lights should also be in good condition to ensure visibility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ADR vehicles must undergo periodic inspections depending on the type of load and vehicle. In addition to the annual inspection, intermediate inspections should be carried out for tanks or specialised vehicles, especially if repairs or modifications have been carried out. Pre-winter inspections are key to identifying mechanical problems that could worsen in cold weather.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you would like to find out more about dangerous goods transport or any of our services, please do not hesitate to contact<\/a> us.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is essential to ensure that each component is in optimal condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":259055,"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":"3. <\/b>Inspection of the electrical system and battery:<\/b><\/h3>\n

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>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\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\nEsta cifra resulta muy alarmante <\/span>y es importante que se tomen medidas inmediatas para evitar que la situaci\u00f3n empeore a\u00fan m\u00e1s.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEn 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\nEl 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\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n
