Best possible protection against corrosion

DHOLLANDIA uses 2 premium surface treatment finishes for steel components, raising the quality and corrosion protection of the finished product to the absolute top in the tail lift industry. The majority of the most common commercial tail lifts are supplied in HOT-DIP ZINC PLATED finish, other tail lifts in Protection PLUS finish.

DHOLLANDIA’s Protection PLUS paint finish combines innovative technologies to raise the quality and corrosion protection of the tail lifts to the highest level.

Protection PLUS incorporates 4 important steps:

  • Shot blasting of the steel substrate
  • 3-cation zinc phosphate
  • KTL cathodic dip epoxy coating (KTL = Katodische Tauch Lackierung)
  • Polyester powder top coat

HOT-DIP ZINC PLATING is based on the metallurgic bond between the steel parts and zinc, melted at 460 °C. The zinc-iron alloys formed in this way, offer a number of clear advantages:

  • Best possible protection against corrosion
  • Improved metallurgic characteristics
  • Better protection against shocks and wear
  • Protects the outside and inside of steel structures (unlike e-coat or conventional paint systems, whose effect is limited to the painted outside surfaces)

Green technology: life cycle assessments have proven that zinc-plating is the most environmentally friendly method of anti-corrosion protection.
