V-Logistics

Within the logistics industry, the garage and the functionality of the garage has to be maintained all year round. Transport vehicles require regular maintenance and no less so than during cold winter months, all in all it means that the garage will be used in low temperatures. Work needs to be carried out and it cannot be done effectively if the temperature is too low.

One of the best ways to heat the garage is to use an under floor heating system. There are many different methods for doing this. Heating mats, backer board insulation and cable kits are available to heat the floor. These will enable you to control the entire temperature of the room evenly.

Managing the temperature of the garage is also a great way to protect the other items you store there. Many chemicals react to changes in temperature. Keeping that temperature at a steady constant will maintain the usability of those items.

When riding a motorcycle the visor on your helmet serves the same purpose as the windscreen on a car. As such it requires the same attention and should be maintained with the same level of care.

The visor on a helmet is the thin transparent plastic cover over the front of the helmet. Made from a strong, special polycarbonate, it serves as both a visual window and a protective layer for the rider.

Maintaining a motorcycle visor is relatively straight forward. Regularly check when not riding that your visor safely and securely moves up and down. Helmet visors are designed to do this but the fasteners on the visor do wear down over time, so its important to check that they work smoothly.

Wash your helmet regularly. Dead bugs, debris and dirt can attach itself to your helmet when riding and in turn fall onto the visor, damaging it over time. Keeping your entire helmet clean can go a long way in making sure all the parts on it work effectively.

Long distance motorcycle trips tend to either be fantastic, or an uncomfortable experience of long roads.

There are many variables that will effect the enjoyment of the journey, but it largely depends on the type of motorcycle you are using. Sports and tourer motorbikes are designed with long distance travel in mind, and will make the journey much more enjoyable than if you were on a different type of bike, such as a super bike.

The type of engine on the motorcycle will make a big difference on the experience of the trip. A fast revving 4-stroke engine will grate your ears and sanity over long distance. A smooth V-twin, while not as speedy offers a much smoother and sustained ride.

Using motorcycle gear suited for long journeys is going to help improve the riders experience. Loose waterproof motorcycle gear will be much more comfortable than tight sport leathers. Gear that fits well and doesn’t get cramped against the motorcycle is much easier to wear too. All of these combine together to improve the experience overall.

A car is a valuable asset and should be stored in an appropriate fashion to maintain its value. A car is also a large and depreciating asset, so keeping it stowed away correctly is sometimes tricky.

A great way to store a vehicle to a high standard is to utilise the services of car storage companies. These companies specialise in looking after a vehicle so that you don’t suffer loss in its value.

Using a car storage company is effective as they offer features that aren’t available through other car storage methods. This includes the specific insurance cover that they offer, as well as the high security protection that is an industry standard.

Make sure if you do go with a car storage company that they have full industry insurance covering fire, theft and damage. Some companies do not offer this, which would leave a grey area over who is responsible for the vehicle while it’s in storage.
