What are the main configuration options for semi-trailers? How to match properly?

Semi-trailer is a kind of vehicle with a carriage connected behind a tractor, which bears the load role of goods in transportation. There are many configuration options for semi-trailers, mainly including body structure, tires, axles, braking system, suspension system, lighting configuration, bumper and so on. Reasonable collocation of these configuration options can improve the transportation efficiency and safety of semi-trailers.

The first is the body structure, the body structure of the semi-trailer usually includes three types of box type, flat plate and convertible. The box-type semi-trailer is suitable for transporting fragile items and goods that need insulation; Flat semi-trailer is suitable for transporting large goods and irregular goods; Open-top semitrailers are ideal for transporting bulk and super-tall cargo. Select the appropriate body structure according to the properties of the goods and transportation needs.

The second is the tire option, the choice of tires related to load capacity, driving stability and wear resistance. When choosing tires, it is necessary to consider road conditions, cargo weight and transportation distance, and try to choose tires with high load capacity and wear resistance to improve the safety and economy of the semi-trailer.

In addition, the number and configuration of axles will affect the carrying capacity and driving stability of the semi-trailer. Common axle configurations are single axle, double axle, three axle and four axle, according to the weight of the cargo and road conditions to choose the appropriate number and configuration of the axle, to ensure the carrying capacity and driving stability of the semi-trailer.

In addition, the brake system is an important safety equipment for semi-trailers, including air brake system and hydraulic brake system. When selecting the braking system, the load, traveling speed and braking distance should be considered, and the flexible and reliable braking system should be selected as far as possible to improve the braking efficiency and safety of the semi-trailer.

Another option is the suspension system, which can improve the driving comfort and stability of the semi-trailer. Common suspension systems include leaf spring suspension, air suspension and hydraulic suspension, according to the properties of goods and driving road conditions to choose the appropriate suspension system, improve the driving comfort and stability of the semi-trailer.

Finally, the lamp configuration and bumper options, lamps and bumpers are important safety equipment for semi-trailers, which can improve the visibility and protection of semi-trailers. When choosing lamps and bumpers, we should consider the safety of night driving and different climatic conditions, and try to choose high-brightness, energy-saving lamps and sturdy bumpers to improve the safety and durability of the semi-trailer.

To sum up, the main configuration options of semi-trailer include body structure, tires, axles, braking system, suspension system, lighting configuration and bumper, etc. Reasonable collocation of these configuration options can improve the transportation efficiency and safety of semi-trailer. When selecting configuration options, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the attributes of goods, transportation needs and road conditions, and select the appropriate configuration to ensure the safety, stability and economy of the semi-trailer.
