Loos Betonvloeren from Obdam has the largest

The Giga Screed makes 27 meters of concrete floor super flat in one motion

Laying super-flat floors with webs up to 27 meters wide; a first in the concrete flooring industry. Loos Concrete Flooring today christened the Giga Screed. This machine has a roller that can superflat concrete floors up to 27 meters wide. This makes it the largest Screed in Europe as far as we know. More efficiency, less cost and with a sublimely flat end result.

Business halls are getting bigger and the requirements for them stricter. Especially when it comes to the large distribution centers for e-commerce companies that are sprouting up all over Europe. The floors here must be super-flat, because a floor that is not super-flat creates instability for forklifts that have to lift or hoist a load at height. In addition, super-flat floors make it possible to use an automated storage and picking system. This involves automated carts driving through the distribution center to collect orders. More and more e-commerce, as well as chain stores, are making use of this system in their distribution centers.

The largest of its kind

Until today, the widest Screed on the market was around 23 meters wide. However, Loos Betonvloeren has now had a machine built with a roller that can finish lanes 27 meters wide. General manager Dirk Loos and foreman Dennis Schoenmaker have had an important role in completing the design phase of the Giga Screed. Dirk Loos: "The biggest advantage is that floors are now delivered faster, which saves costs. For architects, it means that they can leave 28 meters of space between two trusses, which gives you a larger usable floor area. That offers enormous perspective.'
