This from the Spijkstaal website:


Safety & Ergonomics
The vehicles must be safe and comfortable. A Spijkstaal vehicle is distinguished by its long wheel base and low centre of gravity. Almost all models have full suspension, enabling them to hold the road well and providing optimum traction and comfort. Powerful disc brakes contribute to safety. Often, not the motor but the brake system determines the final capacity.
The dedication of your driver is a strong qualifier for the daily performance of your logistics system. The high comfort level and the good driving properties ensure that the driver doesn’t get tired and continues to enjoy doing his or her work.
