A LOOK AT LOGGERS

摘要

The cargo securement rules that went into effect in 2004 have affected both car recyclers and manufacturers of car-processing equipment. For car crashers and others who transport flattened car hulks, the rules have required them to either use walled trailers or secure their loads with multiple tiedowns and specialized wrapping material. Logged cars aren't subject to the same restrictions. They need only be secured with enough tiedowns to prevent them from shifting or falling off the vehicle, it's not surprising, then, that some processors have found logging to be an attractive alternative to crushing, which has created new or expanded market opportunities for equipment manufacturers.
