ProSafe is Sortimo’s own integrated load securing system. ProSafe is fully compatible with the vehicle manufacturer’s original lashing points.

Yes.

There are various kinds of dangers with self-built van rackings. Starting with the fastening of the racking: Here Sortimo works with crash tests, simulations and many years of development experience to realise the correct connection of the racking to the vehicle via the connection points. Here it is important to have a precise distribution of forces so that in the event of braking or an accident the racking itself does not become a deadly projectile. 

In addition, load securing systems, integrated fixing rails and much more help to take precautions that in some cases save lives. Integrated securing elements simplify the handling and partly secure materials and tools from falling out. In the slightest case of damage, only materials or even the vehicle are damaged if tools fall out of the rack during braking or in curves. However, if the forces are stronger, they can also be flung through the driver's cab, causing injuries to the occupants. This is possible even with light objects and low speed.

Incorrect distribution of weights can also mean that the stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed in bends and other road users are put at risk. Many accidents have shown that professional in-vehicle equipment not only makes everyday work easier and more efficient, but can also save lives.

All Sortimo vehicle equipment is developed and manufactured in Zusmarshausen (Bavaria) – offering the highest quality “Made in Germany”. 

High-quality materials and close collaboration between development, quality management and product lifecycle management ensure innovative, tailor-made system solutions. This means that the vehicle equipment always meets current customer and operational requirements.
