Is it better to choose a high rail or a refrigerated truck for the trailer?

High-bar semi-trailer and refrigerated semi-trailer are two common models in the logistics and transportation industry.

Among them, the fence structure is installed on the loading part of the high-rail vehicle, which is mainly used for the transportation of agricultural and sideline products and other light foam goods. It is also one of the commonly used transportation tools for consignment stations and express companies, and is known as the "one-size-fits-all" model in the industry;

The refrigerated semi-trailer is a commonly used vehicle in the process of cold chain transportation. Many industries such as catering, fresh food, and pharmaceuticals need to use refrigerated trucks for transportation. With the development of cold chain transportation in recent years, the scale of refrigerated trucks The application prospect is also promising.

Some car owners privately asked: If you want to buy a new car, should you choose a high rail or a refrigerator? In fact, which model is better is nothing more than to see which model is more profitable and easier to pay back. To be honest, this question is difficult to answer. If the supply of goods is stable, any model can be operated easily; if the supply of goods cannot be found, and it will be out of service for three days and two days, it will be difficult to make money, let alone make money.

Today, the DARO trailer axle will briefly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two models for your reference.

1. High column style

In addition to transporting agricultural and sideline products and light foam goods, high-rail vehicles can often be involved in steel, coal, grain, sand and gravel, vegetables, fruits, clothes, electrical appliances, small engineering equipment, etc. The transportation range is very wide, and the goods are not selected , To a certain extent, it can provide car owners with a wider space for the types of goods that can be picked up.

In addition, the high fence semi-trailer has strong specialization, large loading capacity, quick transportation, convenient disassembly, wide application, and low investment cost. The curb weight of the trailer can be reduced by 2t-3t, and it also has certain advantages in the field of lightweight.

However, car owners should also realize that in the past ten years, high-rail cars have achieved rapid development in China, and the market share has increased sharply. The situation is also very common.

Besides, under the general trend of the development of special vehicles, relevant departments have become more and more strict on the supervision of high-rail vehicle transportation.

According to GB 1589-2016 "Outline Dimensions, Axle Load and Quality Limits of Road Vehicles", the high-rail semi-trailer "has a non-detachable top fence fixed to the side fence" on the top of the high-rail semi-trailer. The portability of the disassembly and assembly of the warehouse grid car is not as good as before, and the types of transported goods are also limited.

GB7258-2017 "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" also stipulates that high-rail semi-trailers must be equipped with air suspension, disc brakes, automatic adjustment arms, and anti-splash devices, which has greatly increased the cost of car owners compared to before. .

2. Refrigerated

Refrigerated semi-trailers are mainly used for long-distance distribution, with a large volume of goods transported, and the freight is higher than that of ordinary semi-trailers. However, whether refrigerated semi-trailers are more profitable or less depends largely on the supply of goods, and the requirements for experience, contacts or resources are also relatively high.

If the car owner can find a suitable logistics company or enterprise to be affiliated with, and the supply of goods is sufficient and stable, then it is certain to make money. According to feedback from some car owners, it is very common to earn 20,000 to 30,000 a month.

However, cold chain transportation has relatively strict requirements on cargo damage. This will test the experience of the car owner. How to control cargo damage under different temperatures, weather, and road conditions, if the cargo damage is serious, it is likely to be unable to make ends meet. Therefore, if the car owner has no acquaintances in this industry to lead the way, it is not a matter of making money.

Besides, the pre-cost of refrigerated trucks is relatively high. At present, the price of a refrigerated semi-trailer in the market is generally between 300,000 and 800,000. With the transportation requirements and industry standards getting higher and higher, many car owners are more inclined to choose various configurations. All relatively high models have led to high car purchase costs to a certain extent, and subsequent cost recovery and profitability have become even more difficult.

In fact, no matter which line of work you do, there are people who make money and people who lose money, so the key to the problem is not what kind of car to choose, but how much the car owner knows about this industry, how well connected and resources are, and how much the car owner has in the future. Has the operation been planned in general? After all, the current freight environment is not very good, the supply of goods is difficult to find and grab, and the freight is not easy to earn. If you just see other people making money and then slap your head into it, it is still the old saying: think twice before acting.
