The modern economy is a tricky one, and you don’t need to look much further than the vehicle market to see what kind of impact recent events have had on the average person’s buying power.
People are hanging on to their vehicles for longer, opting instead to take measures that boost their lifespan and keep them performing, instead of trading them in for something newer and more expensive.
While there are plenty of ways to take better care of your vehicle, those that see to the protection of its body (especially for workhorse vehicles) are somewhat few and far between, and many of the available solutions out there come at a fairly hefty cost. Fortunately, there is an alternative, and its one that has been tried and tested for years, standing up even to the harshest elements of the environment and terrain, rubberising.
There are plenty of advantages to using rubberising to give your vehicle that extra bit of protection. It is such a trusted solution, in fact, that it is often found in vehicles that operate in some of South Africa’s most demanding industries, like construction and engineering.
So, let’s take a moment to look at some of these advantages here:
Rubber products, in relative terms, are fairly cheap to manufacture, and rubberising products are no different. Of course, this doesn’t detract from their quality or protective prowess, rubber is simply a fairly inexpensive material.
This means that, whether applying it to a new vehicle that you want to cherish for longer, or even to an old one that needs that extra layer of protection, that it can be done affordably no matter what your budget looks like.
Whether it is applied to the flat-bed or comes in the form of Supergrip rubber flooring, these products are remarkably durable, as you would expect from something that is meant to offer additional protection to your vehicle.
One application of rubberising will not only add years to your vehicle’s condition but will also last an incredibly long time as well, which means less of a need for maintenance or replacements at a later stage.
This naturally means that you have to worry less about maintenance at a later date, which may become necessary, but not any time soon, and it will also be inexpensive to do when needed.
While all vehicles will benefit from rubberising in one way or another, it is those that are constantly challenged by harsh operating environments that stand to benefit the most from them.
I’m speaking specifically about working vehicles, bakkies in the construction and engineering industry, even heavy duty vehicles, or vans that transport goods cross country.
Rubberizing ensures that payloads, tools, and materials can be transported and loaded into vehicles without causing any damage to their beds or interiors.
However, while rubberising is absolutely ideal, maybe even necessary for working vehicles, it is also commonly used in all types, from busses to pedestrian vehicles. In fact, it is so versatile in this regard that it can even be applied to floors and surfaces in structures.
Far from being an unsightly but necessary protective addition to vehicles, rubberising (if applied correctly) can and often does add to the vehicle’s own sense of style. It is sleek and gives the vehicle a protected and polished look that can be worked into the style of the vehicle.
There are plenty of excellent reasons to opt for rubberising on vehicles if you are looking to extend their lifespan significantly, and at less of a cost, all you need is the right business to do it for you.
