What are Common Semi-Trailers?

Our commonly used trailers can be classified as side wall trailer, flatbed semi trailer, lowbed trialer, fence trailer, container chassis trailer, tipper trailer, fuel tank trailer, cement trailer and so on. Do you know what kind of goods your trailer is most suitable for transporting and what features they have? I believe you will understand after reading this article.

 

Side wall trailer feature

A side wall trailer is a semi-trailer with the cargo part of the rail structure. It is widely used, mainly for medium and long-distance transportation of medium and heavy and bulk cargoes, and has become the first choice of medium and long-distance freight vehicles.

• 1. The whole body is made of high-quality steel, advanced technology and strict production, with reasonable structure, reliable performance, easy operation and beautiful appearance.
• 2. The frame is all wearing beam structure. The longitudinal beam is flat or gooseneck type. The web height is welded from 400mm to 550mm manganese plate, the longitudinal beam is welded by automatic submerged welding, the frame is treated by shot blasting, the cross beam is penetrated the longitudinal beam and welded as a whole.
• 3. The suspension adopts non-independent steel plate stamping type rigid suspension, which is made of tandem steel plate spring and suspension support; the structure is reasonable and has muscular rigidity and strength, which is used to support the load to reduce the impact.

 

Flatbed semi trailer feature

A flatbed semi trailer has no railings on the load part and is widely used for long and medium distance freight transportation.

• 1. The structure of Flatbed semi trailer is made of high strength international steel; the whole vehicle is light in weight, and its anti-twisting, anti-vibration and anti-bumping ability is guaranteed to meet different road bearing capacity.
• 2. The frame is a through-beam structure, and the longitudinal beam is flat or gooseneck. The web height is from 400mm to 550mm, the longitudinal beam is welded by automatic submerged arc welding, the frame is shot blasted, the cross beam is penetrated the longitudinal beam and welded as a whole.
• 3. Tandem dry plate spring and suspension support are composed of reasonable structure, with muscular rigidity and strength, used to support the load to slow down the impact.

 

Lowbed trailer feature

Lowbed trailer is also widely used for transporting various kinds of steel for machinery and equipment, large objects, highway construction equipment, large tanks, power station equipment and machines.

• 1. Lowbed trailer has flatbed type, open beam type and exposed tire type structure, the longitudinal beam adopts flat type or gooseneck type. Its frame is ladder type, longitudinal beam cross-section is I-beam, with high stiffness, high strength and other characteristics.
• 2. The central plane of the frame and cargo platform is low, ensuring the smoothness of transportation and is suitable for carrying all kinds of engineering machinery, large equipment and steel, etc.
• 3. Using three-axle balance type, two-axle balance type, or rigid suspension, equipped with mass balance blocks between the front and rear steel plate springs, which can make the deflection of the front and rear steel plate springs vary equally so that the front and rear axles are subjected to balanced forces;
• 4. Lowbed trailer series products are suitable for a variety of machinery and equipment, large objects, highway construction equipment, large tanks, power station equipment machine a type of transport just now, a wide range of uses, efficient and fast. The whole vehicle adopts advanced computer-aided design software to optimize the design with flexibility and variety, and the load bearing surface of the frame is designed according to the user’s requirements to meet the transportation of various unique goods.

 

Fence trailer feature

Fence trailer is a semi-trailer designed with fence structure in the cargo part. It is mainly used to transport agricultural, by-products, and other light foam goods.

• 1. Model and fence structure design process combines with user’s cargo category, sound design, entirely reduce the weight of the carriage under the condition of satisfying the load, simple and applicable structure, easy disassembly, reduce investment cost for users, create more profit value.
• 2. Frame: the longitudinal beam and the whole penetration beam are welded into the space frame structure. It can balance the frame’s strength, rigidity and toughness with strong load-bearing capacity and no permanent deformation.
• 3. Series Fence trailer frames are all through-beam structures, the longitudinal beam adopts flat or gooseneck type. The web height is from 400 to 500, the longitudinal beam is welded by automatic submerged arc welding, the frame is shot blasted, the cross beam is penetrated the longitudinal beam and welded as a whole.
• 4. Suspension system: new suspension system is adopted, with high strength and strong impact resistance; the axle loads are balanced, and the angle of the system tie rod is reasonably designed to reduce the frictional slippage between the tires and the ground during frequent bumps in operation, effectively reducing tire wear, while the adjustable tie rod can adjust the wheelbase, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of bias grinding and gnawing of the tires.

 

Container chassis trailer feature

Container Chassis trailer is a semi-trailer with container structure for the cargo part. They are mainly used for ships, ports, routes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport supporting logistics systems.

• 1. They are specially used for the transportation of various containers. It can be used repeatedly for a long time and has enough strength.
• 2. Using containers to transfer goods can be directly loaded in the consignor’s warehouse, transported to the consignee’s warehouse to unload, midway to replace the car, ship, no need to take out the goods from the box to change.
• 3. It can be quickly loaded and unloaded, and directly and easily changed from one means of transport to another.
• 4. It is easy to fill and unload the cargo to meet the individual needs of customers. According to the customer’s needs, the workwear guarantee stable quality and reliable performance.

 

Tipper trailer feature

Tipper trailer is suitable for transporting bulk cargoes such as coal, ore and building materials.

• 1. The carriage adopts a side and rear tipping self-unloading method, which can effectively improve the transportation efficiency of bulk and scattered cargoes transported by the loader.
• 2. The frame and the longitudinal beam of the carriage are welded with high quality manganese plates, and the cargo box has two kinds of dustpan and rectangle. It has high strength, strong lifting force, rigidity, good toughness, strong bearing capacity and no permanent deformation.
• 3. Excellent technology: The main parts are processed by advanced equipment, the longitudinal beam is welded by automatic submerged arc welding, and an assembly machine precisely assembles the axle and steel plate spring.

 

Tank trailer feature

Tank trailer is a semi-trailer with tank type structure. It is mainly used to transport liquids, bulk materials, cement, etc.

• 1. Tank trailer series is divided into oil tanker, concrete mixer,  bulk cement truck, water supply truck, etc.
• 2. Tank body is manufactured with three-dimensional design and advanced processing technology. The chassis adopts unique chassis of various manufacturers, with advanced technology and reliable performance.
