Car refers to the vehicle specially used for the transport of cars, the general transport is not licensed new cars, can also be used for the transport of commercial vehicles, vans, jeeps and so on.


Due to the large weight of the goods transported, the car is mostly designed with low flat plate, which has the characteristics of smooth lifting, low center of gravity, and good driving smoothness.

From the top structure, the car can generally be divided into three types: skeleton type, fully enclosed and semi-enclosed:


1, skeleton type. The car is not installed on both sides and above the door plate or baffle, only the column structure is composed, and the transport vehicle is directly exposed to the outside.

Because this type of car purchase cost is relatively lower, and the vehicle weight is small, fuel consumption, etc., is also less, so it is relatively common in the transportation industry. But the disadvantages of this model are also obvious: the vehicle is exposed and easily damaged.


2, fully enclosed. The sides, top, front and rear of this model are designed with door panels or tarpaulin, which looks like a van trailer, improving the protection of the vehicle being transported, and is more suitable for transporting vehicles with higher value.

In contrast, this fully closed structure of the car carrier due to the addition of the baffle, the weight is larger, the purchase cost is high, the consumption of fuel and other consumable products is also larger, and the skeleton structure is the opposite.


3, semi-closed. Compared with the skeleton type, this model has door panels on both sides, but the top and back are still open. Whether it is the degree of protection for transport vehicles, or the purchase cost, vehicle weight, fuel consumption and other angles, they are between skeleton and fully enclosed.

From the model point of view, the car can be mainly divided into two kinds of semi-trailer train and mid-shaft train, if the traction model is taken into account, it is basically divided into three categories: flat-head tractor + semi-trailer, long-head tractor + semi-trailer, mid-shaft car.


According to the regulations, the flat-head tractor + semi-trailer car can be loaded with 6 cars, the long-head tractor + semi-trailer car can be loaded with 7 cars, the central axle main car can be loaded with 5 cars, and the hanger can be loaded with 8-11 cars.


It can be seen that the advantages of the mid-axle car in the loading capacity are relatively obvious. However, many owners still have many concerns about changing cars:


1, the product is not mature enough.


Compared with the semi-trailer car, the mid-axle car is still in the new stage, whether it is software or hardware, various conditions are not fully mature.


For example, many owners who have driven mid-axle vehicles will find a problem: When the vehicle speed is fast and the road condition is not good, the vehicle is prone to a yaw movement, and with the increase of the speed is more and more intense, which actually belongs to a critical state of driving stability, to attract the driver's attention, and timely and stable deceleration, in order to restore to smooth operation, as far as possible to avoid large acceleration and deceleration. And you can't change lanes when there's a wobble.


According to industry personnel, the current mid-axle car is basically only equipped with ABS, but from the point of view of safety and stability, it is best to install EBS and ESP, but because of the cost problem, it is only when the customer requests after the installation of these auxiliary systems.


2. More difficult to drive.


The driving requirements of the mid-axle car are different from the previous semi-trailer and full trailer, and the driver must not rely on the previous driving experience to drive, especially at this stage, the design of the mid-axle car is not fully perfect, and it needs to be professional and careful to drive.


It is recommended that the car owners should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour when driving the car with the middle axle, so as to avoid the danger caused by excessive speed causing the vehicle to yaw. Secondly, in strict accordance with the distribution of the center of gravity in the process of loading, the heavier vehicles must be placed in the main car part of the car, or the lower part of the car; Another point is that in the driving process must avoid sharp turns, in the reversing process can not exceed 80 degrees, as far as possible to ensure safety.

Some car transport logistics enterprises and owners even hope that while selling mid-axle car, they can carry out some driving skills training services, and carry out some systematic training for the characteristics of mid-axle car to further ensure safety.


To sum up, in a short period of time, the domestic car market is still dominated by semi-mounted car, but with the continuous improvement of mid-axle car technology and related services, or it will open up a river in the car transport field.
