Description What is the difference between flatbed semi trailer and flatbed drawbar trailer? Many people will ask what is the difference between a drawbar flatbed trailer and a flat bed semi trailer. In fact, a full trailer and a semi-trailer are only connected differently than the traction car in front. Below we will introduce the difference between a semi-trailer and a full trailer. About flatbed semi trailer: The flatbed semi-trailer is a type of trailer whose axle is located behind the center of gravity of the vehicle. The trailer is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal or vertical forces to the tractor. Part of the total weight of the trailer is borne by the tractor. It doesn’t have itself power, it is carried together with the truck head, and the container carrier semi-trailer is driven by the tractor. Flatbed trailer is usually used to transport 20ft or 40ft containers. They are mainly used for container transportation supporting ships, ports, shipping lanes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport. Use platform trailers to transfer cargo at the shipper’s warehouse. Unloaded to the consignee’s warehouse, when changing trailer or boat on the way, there is no need to take the goods out of the box and change them. Different models of semi-trailer: There are many types of semi-trailers, such as flatbed semi trailer, side wall trailer, fence cargo trailer, fuel tanker trailer, bulk cement tanker trailer, container skeletal trailer, van semi-trailers and special semi-trailers, etc. 1. Cargo semi-trailer: The semi-trailer of the fence semi-trailer adopts the structure design of the fence or sidewall. Mainly used for the transportation of agricultural and sideline products and other lighter goods. 2. Tank-type semi-trailer: The tank-type semi-trailer is equipped with a fuel tanker or cement tanker. It is mainly used to transport liquids, bulk materials and bulk cement. 3. Dump type semi-trailer: It is divided into side-turning and back-turning, light and medium-sized ordinary dump trailer for road transportation. Dump tipping trailer is mainly used for transportation of bulk cargo, such as sand, gravel, coal, etc. It is usually used in conjunction with a loader. 4. Lowbed(lowboy) semi trailer: It is a type of platform in which the load floor is as close to the ground as possible, most commonly used to haul heavy equipment, cranes, bulldozers, etc. Flatbed drawbar trailer: Flatbed drawbar trailer is the front end of the trailer connected to the rear end of the tractor. The tractor only provides a pulling force and does not bear weight. That is, a full trailer is added behind the ordinary car, and the two are connected by a hook. The trailer can increase the loading capacity of the truck and reduce fuel consumption, thereby reducing transportation costs. The load of the trailer is fully borne by itself, and it is only connected to the locomotive with a hook. The locomotive only provides power to help the trailer overcome the frictional resistance of the road. A trailer can stand upright on its own tires, while a semi-trailer must stand on its front legs. Advantages of a Dump Trailer Towed by a Pick-up A dump trailer towed by a pick-up truck is a versatile and powerful tool. Advantages of using a dump trailer include convenient size, reasonable cost to buy or rent, truck efficiency, work productivity increase, low bed height, and low impact on landscapes. Let’s look at ways a dump trailer is useful and cost-effective. Dump trailers come in a multitude of sizes, depending on your application. Small trailers are ideal for tight places, and larger trailers are advantageous for large capacity loads like trash or mulch. Larger trailers are generally rated to carry more weight for hauling soil, sand, or gravel. Because of its small size and agility, a dump trailer can enable an operator to dump a load little by little. It is a huge advantage when spreading something like gravel. If you’ve ever tried to direct a dump truck driver to spread a thin, even layer, then you know you can end up with mixed results. Dump trailers are commonly used for construction waste. For example, a dump trailer can be pulled right next to a house that is being re-roofed, and old roof debris can be thrown down into the trailer. Pull the trailer forward, and have the trailer convenient to the work area as the job progresses. By comparison, this is not possible with a standard dumpster that is stationary by its nature. Dump trailer is light in weight and doesn't cause big damage. Especially when compared with a dump truck, a dump trailer is simply lighter. It can be driven onto a sensitive landscape like a lawn or over a walkway to reach hard-to-access areas without causing damage. Low impact is especially true when compared to a roll-off dumpster for waste removal. The rubber tires of a dump trailer don’t scar an asphalt driveway or tear up a lawn like the loading and unloading of a roll-off dumpster. What You Need to Know About the Many Uses of Water Trucks What are water trucks used for? Water trucks – specialized vehicles equipped with large tanks in the rear for transporting water and controlled spray nozzles for distributing it – are a familiar sight in a variety of sectors such as civil construction, mining, farming and fire control. The advantages they offer by transporting and disbursing both potable and recycled water can be put to a variety of uses too, and we will discuss them below so you can see how the addition of a water truck can actually improve operations in your own business. 1: Dust Control Construction and mining sites kick up a lot of dust that would impede progress without water trucks with 2,000-4,000-gallon tanks that tamp down dust very efficiently by following a grading equipment that is leveling and preparing soil for work. Dusty jobsites not only slow down work but increase health risks such as eye and lung irritation, bronchitis, asthma and heart disease, and by dampening dust, water trucks remove them from the air that miners and construction workers are breathing. 2: Firefighting Water trucks are especially useful in remote, rural areas where there are no fire hydrants to help put out fires. These trucks transport water needed by firefighters to not only control fires but dampening fire-prone areas that are likely to be consumed in the blaze. 3: Soil Compaction Soil must be compacted to create a flat, even ground at construction sites so that buildings, roads, bridges etc. can be built safely. When soil is compacted with heavyweight compacting tools like rollers, rammers and vibratory plates, the air component is removed from the soil while keeping the water content intact. Too much water will make the ground sludgy and unstable. Too little water will not let the dry soil particles adhere to each other either. Water trucks not only provide a portable and ready water source at construction sites, they also provide just the right amount of liquid to maintain good water to soil ratio to create strong and stable compaction. 4: Farming The agricultural sector in the United States started using water trucks during the severe drought that was experienced throughout the Midwest and West Coast of the country between 2011-2016. When rains fail, these trucks carry recycled water to affected farmlands so irrigation can continue, and both crops and livestock can be saved. Sweeper Trucks: Another tool for prepping roadways for better pavements A cleaner workspace is always a good thing, but in paving, it can contribute to the road’s quality, if done prior to additional lifts being applied, before seal coating and following milling. Paving contractors can use several sweeping options: they can own their own sweeping trucks, rent them or contract with a sweeping company to clean. The advantage to owning a sweeper truck, is it’s readily available, and not reliant on the schedule of another contractor. The downside: the equipment is often idle. Sean Wolf, owner of Wolf Paving in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, has owned sweeping trucks for several years. After milling, his company uses the trucks to push material onto road shoulders to be used later, rather than collecting the millings and hauling them off. In this application, Wolf Paving uses heavy trucks with angle brooms. Prior to seal-coating, the company sweeps with smaller non-cabbed machines. To make better use of these machines, Wolf says, the company started offering its own sweeper services. “We have a couple of sweeping contracts,” Wolf explains, adding that the work is mainly for commercial and municipal clients. “It keeps that equipment from being idle when it’s not in use cleaning up road construction jobs or after milling.” For Wolf, that’s important during the winter in Wisconsin when paving activity slows. 4 Advantages of Rear Loader Garbage Trucks Waste haulers can gain many advantages from using rear loader garbage trucks, including: Time-tested performance: rear loading garbage trucks have been around since the 1930s. Reliability: rear loaders have fewer moving parts than other designs, so they're less likely to break down. Maneuverability: rear loader trash trucks can move easily through narrow streets that would pose serious problems for other types of garbage haulers. Affordability: the large number of used rear loader garbage trucks on the market makes these vehicles a budget-wise option for both public entities and private companies. Designed Specifically for Municipal Trash Routes The rear loader garbage truck is a common sight on streets across the United States. The secret to its efficiency is the compaction cycle, which presses the waste against a steel plate located just behind the cab. This removes waste liquids and air, allowing the truck to make less trips to the city dump or local landfill. Rear loading trucks are designed to handle multiple types of garbage cans. There’s no need for the community to adopt a single waste bin design for all its residents. This is a special boon for small towns with limited budgets. A rear loading garbage truck is also a great choice for congested urban environments, due to its teardrop-shaped configuration. There’s less risk of collisions and worker accidents. Plus, most rear loaders can be outfitted with motorized cart tippers to reduce stress and strain on sanitation employees. Latest activities Tags |
