The personalities
of Wingliner

At Profel, a leading manufacturer of windows and doors made from wood, aluminum, and PVC, one principle drives daily operations: products must arrive at the customer’s site in pristine condition. With over 1,000 units produced each day by a team of 1,400 employees, logistics isn't just about transport—it's a vital part of the quality process.

Tailored Logistics – How Profel Uses the Open Top Wingliner to Ensure Product Quality and Efficiency

To meet this standard, Profel partnered with Wingliner and the Strasser family to develop a vehicle solution that protects their delicate cargo and optimizes daily workflows: the Open Top Wingliner.

Traditional loading systems with top belts reached their limits when it came to heavy and fragile window frames. Securing and unloading those materials wasn’t just time-consuming—it was also physically demanding and posed potential risks to the product and the personnel.

Recognizing the need for innovation, Bernhard, a logistics expert at Profel, led the collaboration with Wingliner. Together, they created a custom vehicle design built specifically for the window and door industry.

The result: a fully openable truck body, with both roof and side panels that fold away entirely.

This allows crane operators to lift full frame units directly from the truck bed—cleanly, safely, and efficiently. There’s no need to shift cargo around, no unnecessary handling, and most importantly, no risk of dirty or damaged products upon delivery.

Profel now operates a dozen trucks equipped with the Open Top Wingliner, along with trailers fitted with the same system. For the drivers, the benefits are immediate: ergonomic handling, rapid access to the cargo, and a streamlined routine. The loading space can be opened or closed in just 30 seconds, reducing downtime and physical strain significantly.

What might sound like a technical refinement actually represents a major leap in logistics efficiency: cleaner deliveries, faster unloading, happier drivers, and a transport process that aligns perfectly with Profel’s commitment to quality.

Because at Profel, logistics isn’t just about moving goods—it’s about maintaining standards from factory to final destination. And with the Open Top Wingliner, that standard has never been higher.

Work less. Do more. It's not just a motto—it's a mindset that’s on the road every single day.
