High transport efficiency, why the domestic popularity is not high?

Sling transport is a mode of transport used by some large logistics companies, also known as sling loading and unloading, which refers to a way for the tractor to continue to run after dropping and hanging the designated trailer at the loading and unloading point according to a predetermined plan.

To put it in simple terms, after the tow truck arrives at the transportation unloading point, the carriage is unloaded together with the goods in the carriage, and then another carriage filled with goods is hung up, and the next unloading point is continued, so that the time of vehicle shutdown caused by loading and unloading of goods is greatly reduced, which can accelerate the turnover of vehicles, improve transportation efficiency, and make full use of vehicle resources. Maximize benefits.

Because of such advantages, sling transport in Europe and the United States in the logistics mode of transport steadily occupied a dominant position, by the tractor with trailers composed of car train traffic can almost account for about 70%-80% of the total transport volume.

At present, the mode of suspension transportation can be mainly divided into the following three categories:

1, one line two points one end hang

The vehicle is transported between two points A and B, hung from A, transported to B and unloaded, and then the tow truck is empty or towed back to A to continue the next round of transportation.

2, one line two points both ends hang

The vehicle is transported between two points A and B, hung up from A, transported to B, unloaded, and then directly hung up another loaded trailer to return to A for the next round of transportation.

3, multi-point loading and unloading cycle hang

Multiple loading points present a closed cycle, with a certain number of turnover trailers, the tractor arrives at a loading point to unload the trailer, hangs another loaded trailer to the next unloading point, the next unloading point is repeated the same operation.

Looking at the domestic logistics and transportation industry, it seems that the sling transportation is still in the initial or exploratory stage, in addition to some large express companies, logistics companies, the application is relatively low.

Since the hanging transport efficiency is high, the cost is low, why is the popularity in China not high? The reason mainly lies in the conditions required for the suspension of transportation, let's take a look at it first:

1, vehicle standards to be unified. Hanging transport is often a tractor corresponding to a number of trailers, which requires the matching between the tractor and the trailer to enhance, to a certain extent means that the production of trailers to be standardized, universal, if it is the transportation between enterprises and enterprises, but also requires the procurement of trailer standards to be unified, so as to meet the needs of frequent lifting between the tractor and the trailer.

2. Supply should be stable and sufficient. The stability and sufficiency of the supply of goods is the premise of ensuring the efficiency of the suspension transport. If the supply of goods in the warehouse of both sides is insufficient or unstable, it is difficult to form multi-frequency convective transport. Therefore, enterprises can find more opportunities for cooperation, and high-quality goods can cooperate with each other.

3, the vehicle performance is good. In the suspension transportation mode, it is almost "stop and stop, people stop and stop", and the vehicle must be long-lasting and durable in order to meet this continuous transportation.

4, the driver reserve should be sufficient. A transport line should be equipped with multiple drivers for shift work at the same time to improve transportation efficiency and ensure transportation safety.

5. Roads are in good condition. Road conditions are directly related to the efficiency of suspension transportation, such as road conditions, congestion and so on.

6. The construction of freight space should be improved. Sling transportation needs the site to meet the operating standards, and can provide sufficient space for lifting, parking, loading and unloading. In particular, some heavy-duty suspension lengths of nearly 20 meters must have enough space to meet the basic operating requirements of the vehicle.

7. Improve information management. The degree of information management has now become an essential operating condition for dumping transportation, with vehicles and goods real-time tracking, scheduling, customer management and other basic operations, convenient for the company and customers to query the movement of goods and vehicles in real time.

On the contrary, in the current logistics enterprises, there are not many unified vehicle standards, and the tractor in many enterprises can only bring its own hanging, and can not match the trailer of other enterprises;

The source of goods is more scattered, in order to obtain more supplies, enterprises have to lay out more lines and vehicles, the return is not all able to reach the goods, the amount of round-trip goods is not equal;

Some logistics enterprises operate relatively backward, even at the cost of squeezing profits and squeezing rivals, it is difficult to form a stable resource integration;

In addition, the "hardware conditions" such as vehicles and places are not up to standard, which also restricts the popularity of sling transportation to a certain extent.

It can be seen that it is still a long way to go to achieve large-scale dumping transportation in China. DARO Group is the first company in Liangshan special vehicle production base to mass-produce integrated trailer axles. It has 20 years of industry experience. It has a large series of trailer axles and has made leading progress in strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and lightweight. Reliable quality, affordable price, for the suspension transport to fully play the high efficiency to provide the basis and guarantee.
