DRIVER’S DOOR EDGE DAMAGE

A known risk in vehicle logistics

The driver's door is the only one that must be opened continuously throughout the entire logistics chain: it needs to be opened at the beginning and again at the end of each movement

Many of these openings take place in confined spaces, leaving the door edge exposed to impacts and scuffs.

Quality teams, claims handlers and transport operators know this recurring type of damage well. Each incident triggers both a repair process and a claim, creating a disproportionate administrative workload and often leading to disputes and delays.

Magnetic protections for vehicle transport in action

ADELCA helps reduce this risk with a padded, reusable and easy-to-use magnetic protector designed to safeguard the door edge without interfering with vehicle handling operations.

Multiple vehicle handling operations, various transport modes, same kind of damage.

Compound
Un vehículo dentro de un contenedor
Container
Rail

KEY FEATURES

Magnetic grip

Two levels of magnetic holding force allow the protector to adapt to different operating conditions.

Padded material

Soft core that cushions contact without any rigid components.

Technical fabric

Durable, soft and non-abrasive fabric designed to protect vehicle paintwork.

Ergonomic Design

Ultralight and easy to carry. Integrated hands-free carrying system.

Reusable

The same protector can be used across thousands of vehicle movements, protecting different vehicles.

Customisation

Colours and logos turn each protector into an extension of the customer’s brand identity.

ADELCA XL

An alternative for vehicle transport in containers and on RO-RO vessels

ADELCA XL attaches to nearby metal walls or structures, creating a wide padded area where the door may come into contact.

Note: Indicative estimate: AZT (2023). Equivalent driving distance: DESNZ/DEFRA (2025).

KEY BENEFITS

LOWER COSTS

Preventing damage reduces direct repair costs and the additional costs associated with vehicle damage.

LESS DAMAGE MANAGEMENT

Reduces damage-related work: photographs, damage reports, calls, assessments, disputes, follow-up and cost recovery.

LOWER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Reduces the use of paints, clear coats and other chemicals, as well as energy consumption and waste generated by each repair.

Reuse rather than discard.

A single ADELCA protector can be reused across multiple vehicles, reducing the need for single-use consumables and the waste they generate.

More use.
Less waste.

COMPLEMENT / ALTERNATIVE TO SELF-ADHESIVE FOAM BLOCKS

Combined use

The ADELCA protectors are fully compatible with self-adhesive foam blocks. Using them together extends the protected area and further reduces the risk of door-edge impact.

As an alternative

ADELCA can be used as an alternative to single-use foam blocks, offering clear advantages in terms of sustainability, durability and effectiveness, while reducing waste and the need for frequent replacement.
 
PRACTICAL COMPARISON

Usage model

1 per vehicle - Protects just one car.

1 per operator - protects hundreds of vehicles.

Protected area

Limited protection area - Fixed position.

Flexible placement based on the risk area.

Protection cost

Recurring cost for each vehicle.

Cost distributed across hundreds of vehicles.

Magnetic Protectors vs Adhesive Foam Pads

ADELCA protections are fully compatible with traditional adhesive foam pads. In fact, using both together expands the protected surface and further reduces the risk of door impact.

However, from a sustainability, durability and efficiency perspective, ADELCA offers clear advantages over single-use adhesive pads, which generate waste and require ongoing replacement.
