Loading floor flat or deep...?

In our online shop you will find terms such as flat loading floor, deep loading floor, variable loading floor, raised loading floor as well as  loading sill . What do these mean?

Here is a brief explanation:

flat loading floor

• A flat loading floor provides a consistently flat surface in the vehicle's loading area. This makes loading and unloading luggage or large items easier as there are no differences in height.

low loading floor

• A deep load floor means that the loading area is lower than the loading sill. This can help to make better use of boot space and provide a lower loading sill, making it easier to load heavy or bulky items. However, it can also mean limited storage space under the load floor, for example for spare tires or tools.

Variable loading floor

• A variable loading floor is adjustable and can be raised or lowered in many vehicles and can sometimes even be removed. This allows users to enlarge or adjust the loading area as required. For most vehicle manufacturers, the variable loading floor is an optional extra.

Raised loading floor

• Mostly installed in PHEV (plug-in hybrid) vehicles. The battery in the trunk raises the loading sill.

Below you will find illustrated examples!

	loading floor level The loading area is flat, without loading sill
	loading floor low The loading floor is deep, a loading sill is available
	Variable loading floor With a variable loading floor, the depth of the trunk can be changed. In many vehicles, the trunk floor can be set low (down) or level (up) as required. It is often also removable.
	loading sill The loading edge indicates the height of the loading edge (rear wall) to the trunk floor
	Raised loading floor Loading floor raised by battery in the trunk. Usually in PHEV (plug-in hybrid) vehicles.
