In the logistics and transportation industry, semi-trailers, as heavy-duty transportation tools, play a pivotal role. With their strong carrying capacity and high transportation efficiency, they have become an important bridge connecting production and consumption. So, how many tons of cargo can Liangshan semi-trailers pull?
As the name suggests, a semi-trailer refers to a trailer with an axle placed behind the center of gravity of the vehicle and connected to the tractor through a towing pin. It is usually divided into many types, such as three-axle semi-trailers, low-bed semi-trailers, warehouse-type semi-trailers, container semi-trailers, and tank semi-trailers. These different types of semi-trailers also differ in load capacity depending on their design and purpose.
The load capacity of a semi-trailer mainly depends on factors such as the number of axles, tire configuration, axle structure, and material. Generally speaking, the load capacity of a single-axle semi-trailer is relatively low, about 10 tons; while the double rear axle model can carry about 18 tons; the three rear axle model is further increased to 24 tons; as for the six-axle semi-trailer, its load capacity can reach 55 tons. Of course, these figures are for reference only. The actual load capacity also needs to consider factors such as vehicle weight, road conditions, laws and regulations.
It is worth noting that the total towing mass of a semi-trailer is generally 40 tons, which means that after deducting the weight of the trailer itself, the remaining weight is the actual weight of the cargo that can be loaded. For example, if a trailer weighs 8 tons, then its load is 32 tons. Therefore, when choosing a semi-trailer for transportation, these factors must be fully considered to ensure the safety and legality of transportation.
How to reasonably use the load capacity of a semi-trailer:
(1) Reasonable loading: According to the weight, volume and nature of the cargo, reasonably arrange the loading sequence and position to ensure the stability of the vehicle’s center of gravity and avoid overloading and unbalanced loading.
(2) Regular maintenance: Regularly maintain and maintain the semi-trailer, check the performance of key components such as tires, braking systems, and suspension systems, and ensure that the vehicle is in good operating condition.
(3) Comply with laws and regulations: Strictly abide by national and local laws and regulations on road transportation, ensure that the vehicle load does not exceed the prescribed limit, and avoid the resulting safety risks and legal liabilities.
(4) Improve technology: Strengthen the driver’s driving skills training, improve their ability to deal with complex road conditions and emergencies, and ensure the safety and smoothness of the transportation process.
In short, the load capacity of Liangshan semi-trailer is one of the important indicators to measure its transportation capacity. By rationally selecting models, reasonable loading, regular maintenance and complying with laws and regulations, the load capacity of semi-trailers can be fully utilized, transportation efficiency can be improved, and the development of the logistics and transportation industry can be contributed to.
