Introduction
GEBHARDT Logistic Solutions GmbH, a family-run business with over 185 years of history, specializes in developing efficient logistics solutions. The company employs around 500 people globally and is a leader in warehousing and transport solutions.

Noise Reduction Initiative
GEBHARDT aims to reduce noise emissions from roll containers used in supermarkets, hotels, and residential areas. Excessive noise, especially during night deliveries, can lead to health issues such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems. To address this, GEBHARDT employs various noise-reducing measures, including the use of Duratech silent wheels.

Duratech Silent Wheels
Duratech silent wheels, combined with sheet steel castors, reduce noise levels by ten decibels, effectively halving the perceived volume. These wheels maintain the same load capacity as conventional wheels. The hybrid design features a polyamide body and base with an elastic solid rubber core, offering optimal damping properties and reduced noise emissions.

Benefits and Performance
The Duratech silent wheels offer longer durability, lasting up to five years compared to the average two years for conventional castors. They have passed rigorous tests for stability, handling obstacles, and enduring various environmental conditions such as cold, heat, dirt, and rain.

Customer Satisfaction
Customers, including Transgourmet, have recognized the low-noise delivery as a quality feature in their sustainability efforts. GEBHARDT's collaboration with TENTE, the provider of Duratech wheels, is based on long-term cooperation and shared expertise.

Conclusion
GEBHARDT's use of Duratech silent wheels not only enhances noise reduction but also contributes to cost savings in purchasing and maintenance, reinforcing their commitment to sustainable and efficient logistics solutions.
