How to achieve cost reduction and efficiency of trailer axle?

In everyday life, we sometimes see or hear the term "tractor-trailer". What is "tractor-trailer"? To be precise, the term "tractor-trailer" generally exists in two ways:

One is a noun, which refers to a freight vehicle that has no driving force of its own, but is primarily load-bearing, and needs to be driven by a pulling action that pulls the front of the vehicle. It can also be called a trailer, such as a trailer or semi-trailer.

The other is a verb, which refers to the vehicle tractor-trailer driving on the road, such as the traffic regulations mentioned that "vehicles shall not pull trailers during the internship period."

Trailer is a relatively more used in the logistics and transportation industry of a model, especially with the continuous development of the transportation industry, trailers by virtue of its large transport capacity, transport goods and other characteristics gradually for more and more logistics companies.

On the other hand, the road transportation market is huge, the road conditions are more complex, coupled with the continuous introduction of relevant standards and regulations, have put forward higher requirements for the reliable running, attendance and transportation efficiency of the trailer, which also makes more and more manufacturers of trailer parts begin to move towards the direction of cost reduction and efficiency.

As one of the key parts of the trailer, is the trailer axle also able to achieve cost reduction and efficiency?

The answer is yes, just like last year's vehicle operation safety technical conditions GB7258-2017 standard, requiring the installation and use of disc brakes and air bag suspension of three-axle plate, warehouse grid type semi-trailer, is actually a means to reduce cost and increase efficiency.

In the design and production of trailers and tractors, lightweight has been an important means to reduce costs and increase efficiency. After all, only when the weight of the vehicle is reduced, more weight space can be left to load goods within the specified range.

According to relevant data, the axle weight of a three-axle trailer is almost more than 20% of the total weight of the trailer, so for the weight reduction of the trailer, it is very important to realize the lightweight of the axle.

However, compared with the lightweight design of other components, it is more difficult to reduce the importance of the trailer axle, because the axle itself is a load-bearing component, achieve their own weight reduction at the same time also need to ensure that the bearing performance is not reduced, otherwise it may not be worth the loss, not only can not save fuel consumption, increase the efficiency of use, on the contrary, it will lead to the reduction of load, transportation income. This puts forward quite high requirements for the raw materials, production process and production technology of axles. DARO trailer axle is a typical representative of the outstanding lightweight design. The 13T axle designed and produced by DARO Group reduces the weight of the axle by about 15% compared with the axle of the same specifications in the same manufacturers. It is made of 20Mn2 high-strength alloy seamless steel pipe combined with one-piece heat treatment forming technology, which reduces the dead weight of the axle and at the same time, The problems of axle deformation and bending under high strength load are solved, and the strength and toughness are greatly improved.

To say which of the various parts in the trailer maintenance frequency is the highest, I am afraid the tire is the only one, after all, the axle from the body to undertake the weight is to disperse to each wheel, if the tire failure, light will increase fuel consumption or affect the driving, heavy may lead to safety accidents, so the tire problem can not be underestimated.

According to relevant statistics, tire costs directly account for 4%-5% of the operating costs of logistics fleet, and the cost of tire participation is about 35%. Thus, it can be seen that protecting tires and reducing their maintenance frequency is an important way to reduce costs and increase efficiency of trailers. Axle, as an axle assembly, is one of the factors directly affecting the tire.

The design of the axles produced by Daiong Group takes full account of the actual needs, and adopts the one-degree outward tilt design. Although it seems to be only a small Angle, it can make the tires better fit to the road when the vehicle is fully loaded, so that the force is more uniform, the grip is more firm, and the traction efficiency is greatly improved.

The air suspension produced by Darong Group adopts 3D forging and forming technology to increase the special shock absorber, which improves the toughness and at the same time has stronger buffer force, which can better protect the goods and increase the seismic performance. The owners can expand the types of goods transported by the owners, realizing "the car does not pick goods".

As a cargo transport vehicle, the daily maintenance and maintenance of all kinds of accessories on the trailer is indispensable, especially the axle system, which is directly related to the safety and efficiency of the trailer, and the regular maintenance can not be ignored.

However, from another level, the owner will send the vehicle to the special maintenance network to do a maintenance, a single time is about 2-3 hours, a year maintenance 5-6 times, the impact on the attendance rate is relatively large, but also will bring cost pressure to the owner.

However, safety is no small matter, daily maintenance and maintenance is absolutely not less. In response to this phenomenon, Daiong Group has developed and produced the axle with a longer maintenance cycle, simplified the maintenance process, effectively reduced users' outage time, and improved operational efficiency.

The axle is the core part of the trailer, no matter when buying a new car or a used car, it is an object that buyers pay more attention to.

The axle produced by Daiong Group has outstanding performance in lightweight design, protection of cargo, protection of tires, simplification of maintenance procedures and other aspects. At the same time, great progress has been made in the prolongation of service life, which can not only better guarantee the safety of the vehicle in use, but also give the vehicle higher economic benefits in the process of changing hands.
