17.5 Big pallet truck, actually called 17.5 Low pallet trailer, is a special type of vehicle, which is specially used for the transport of large undetachable objects.


In the transport trailer, 17.5 plate car is a special existence, the owners of it is love and hate, in the words of the owners: "what goods can pull, what money can earn, freight chaos, 17.5 big board say", although it is a tease, but at the same time shows the owners of 17.5 big board freight adaptability recognition and dissatisfaction with the disruption of the transportation market.

In December 2007, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice to cancel the announcement of the 17.5 large pallet car, which was prohibited from production and licensing. According to the regulation, "the service life of full trailer and dangerous goods transport semi-trailer is 10 years, the service life of container semi-trailer is 20 years, and the service life of other semi-trailers is 15 years". By the end of this year, 17.5 large pallet cars may be forced to scrap and exit the stage of history.


Between 2010 and 2016, it can be said that the golden age of the 17.5 wagon, even can be said that it is the dominant freight market. According to the original definition of the 17.5 wagon, the width of its cargo compartment is 3m and the length is 17.5m, making other models unmatched. In addition, the low flat compartment has a strong tolerance for goods, so the 17.5 wagon has a huge loading capacity.


Under the temptation of interests, pull type, pseudo high hurdle type 17.5 large pallet car also followed, unlocking more transportation possibilities, its loading capacity even reached 300 square such a horrible degree, almost can catch up with two 13.5 loading capacity.

In terms of the type of goods, 17.5 large pallet car is no longer limited to "undisassembly" large goods, dumping goods, general merchandise, less than half load, household appliances, furniture, green, express delivery, machinery and equipment, cement, sand and stone, and so on all become its transport objects. But at the same time, its own problems are becoming more apparent:


1. Ultra-long and ultra-wide affect the line of sight, occupy lanes, make turns inconvenient, affect traffic efficiency, and are not conducive to traffic safety;


2. Standard models on the market cannot compete with them in terms of cargo loading, which is unfair to other car owners;


3, 17.5 big board general freight is not high, resulting in other standard models no goods to pull;


4, seriously disrupted the order of the transportation market, and to a certain extent also led to the continuous decline of freight industry.


From the perspective of regulations, the last batch of 17.5 large trucks registered did reach the mandatory scrapping time node in July 2022. Will it really be mandatory scrapping?


To be honest, it's probably, but not all. Why?


1. The actual registration deadline is inconsistent.


According to some owners of the statement, the announcement in 2007 is only a part of the general qualification of the 17.5 plate, and a part of the remarks "can only be used for the transportation of non disassembled objects" of the large plate and the goose neck position before and after the width of the large plate, the continuation of sales for several years, the current freight market does exist after 2010 registration of the 17.5 plate car. These vehicles will have to be put off for a few years. So it's not all going to be scrapped by the end of the year.


2, set of cards, cloning phenomenon is serious.


17.5 The big board has always been a major disaster area for the set of cards. Because there is no heavy duty low plate semi-trailer (general goods) after 2007 announcement, 17.5 large board market demand and large, so clone car, set of brand car appeared. Trailer factory in accordance with the appearance of the old car clone the same new car, even the identification of the trailer frame number can also be "copied", do not look carefully can not see, a license plate procedures a company to apply to each other, and even directly a license plate procedures used in multiple trailers, which has caused the number of 17.5 plate in the cancellation of the announcement for many years has not reduced but increased.


3, the old model has not returned, the new model has taken over.


17.5 The new "Super" trailer has appeared before the big Board has reached the scrapping deadline. In order to increase sales, some trailer factories take the service of giving a car a "Chao" word temporary license, but most of these cars are engaged in general cargo transportation.


Although it is not realistic to scrap all the large trucks at one time, according to the Standard Regulations on Compulsory Scrapping of Motor vehicles, their elimination is inevitable and only a process of time. Recently Shandong, Shanghai and other provinces do not allow 17.5 large board cars on the high speed may be the signal. 17.5 After the withdrawal of the big board car, 13.75 big board car may become a replacement model.

It is worth noting that 13.75 large plate car can only be used for transportation of large objects can not be disassembly, that is to say, this type of vehicle engaged in zero-load, green pass and other general goods is illegal, once the relevant departments invest in governance, such as "one penalty four", many vehicles or will therefore idle down, it is recommended that the owners still want to follow the law of industry development, Compliance with vehicle can be more conducive to the long-term development of the freight market.
