Expertise in load securing, volume optimization, dock equipment, industrial closures, and logistics.
At Forankra France, we understand that every activity, vehicle, and industrial environment has its own specific requirements. That’s why our in-house design office develops tailor-made technical solutions adapted to your needs in load securing, loading operations, dock safety, and industrial closures.
Whether you are a haulier, bodybuilder, industrial company, construction professional, or logistics provider, our team supports you at every stage of your project to design, adapt, or develop a fully functional solution that complies with regulations and is ready to be deployed in the field.
Our approach: turning a need into a concrete solution
Our project approach is based on attentive listening, agility, and technical expertise.
Thanks to our R&D team, we bring your ideas to life and optimize your operations.
We work on all types of projects, whether it involves:
Modifying a standard product,
Designing a fully customized solution,
Integrating equipment into complex environments.
The key stages of our custom projects:
Analysis of client needs (logistics flows, environment, regulations)
Technical feasibility study
Design and 3D modeling
Prototyping and functional validation
Manufacturing, installation, and support
Our design tools allow us to simulate the behavior of proposed solutions, anticipate mechanical constraints, and ensure the compliance of each project.
