- panels: only mesh panels, posts and related accessories
- pvc: pvc windows and related accessories only

LOADINGS DOCKS (ramps)

Ech type of goods is associated with an appropriate Loading Dock:
- panels: chanel 44f
- pvc: chanel 40c
- mixed: chanel 4a and 3a

So if you select the type of goods, you automatically select a specific channel (or a group of channels, if there are several possible) on which you will receive the goods.

CHOOSING TIME OF ARRIVAL

After selecting the type of goods to be loaded (and before that the date of receipt and vehicle), the Traser checks the availability of the associated Loading dOCKS.

Note, that Small Vehiclestake up the ramp for 30 minutes, Medium Vehicles for 60 minutes,and Large Vehicles for 90 minutes. You can define the size of the car when you create or edit your Vehicle (see: EN - 06. Adding, editing and removing a Vehicle ..). Vehicles without a defined size are considered large by the Traser.

You can find the available hours in the drop-down list of hours. Choose a time from the list that suits you best (Fig. 2).
