Is the self-dumping semi-trailer made of stainless steel easy to use?

The dump truck is a kind of model widely used in the semi-trailer, especially in the transportation of loose goods such as sand and gravel, soil, coal, and grain, which plays a great role in improving the unloading efficiency, shortening the transportation cycle, saving time and labor.

The traditional semi-trailer is made of steel, mainly high-strength alloy steel; With the prevalence of the trend of lightweight trailers, in some areas, steel trailers began to be gradually replaced by aluminum trailers, and the price was also a big cut higher.

But have you ever seen a trailer made of stainless steel? In the field of dump semi-trailer, there are some models that are made of stainless steel.

Sounds like a bit of a fantasy, after all, the price of stainless steel is higher than aluminum alloy, compared to the traditional steel structure is not more expensive? I'm afraid only the rich can afford this.

This stainless steel dump truck is mainly for corrosive goods, such as sea salt, sea sand or some chemical materials.

Of course, the so-called stainless steel dump truck does not mean that the whole vehicle is made of stainless steel, unless the user puts forward special production requirements, otherwise most of the bottom plate, column, side beam, box plate, etc., is stainless steel, that is, the part that is in direct contact with the goods is made of stainless steel materials, and the rest of the parts are still made of traditional steel materials. This is also to reduce production costs to a certain extent.

What are the main advantages of stainless steel dump trucks?

1, stainless steel is chromium content ≥10.5% alloy material, corrosion resistance is stronger. This is also the reason why stainless steel dump trucks are used for the transportation of corrosive goods.

If transported by ordinary dump trucks, it is easy to cause corrosion of the box board, shorten the service life of the vehicle, improve the frequency of maintenance, resulting in an increase in the cost of subsequent vehicles, after all, the cost of replacing a bottom plate or box board is also a lot, the selection of stainless steel dump trucks can effectively solve this problem.

2, stainless steel dump truck box or bottom plate surface is more smooth, there is no rust and other impurities, so the unloading resistance is smaller, unloading efficiency is higher, to a certain extent, stainless steel car unloading cargo residue less, unloading more clean.

However, the disadvantages of stainless steel dump trucks are also obvious:

1, stainless steel material contains a large number of alloying elements, higher manufacturing costs, vehicle prices are also rising. Taking 203 stainless steel as an example, compared with 980 series steel, the difference is about 4500 yuan /t. In addition, the processing technology of stainless steel is different from that of traditional steel materials, for example, the difficulty of welding will be higher, and it will also increase the cost virtually.

2, although stainless steel welding wire has been basically popular in the market, the processing process is different from the traditional steel material, if the subsequent vehicle damage, the maintenance technology requirements are also relatively high.

3, although the stainless steel material in hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance and other properties are better than the traditional material, the difference in weight can not be ignored, due to the difference in microstructure, stainless steel is often heavier than ordinary steel, from the perspective of fuel consumption, emissions, car cost and so on is a disadvantage.

With the continuous subdivision of the transportation market, vehicles are also developing in the direction of special cars, owners can not blindly follow the crowd when choosing a car, and they should fully consider their own transportation needs. "The honey of A, the arsenic of B", whether it is the main lightweight vehicle, or the main anti-corrosion, high-load vehicle, as long as it can match its own transportation needs, avoid unnecessary losses, and improve operational efficiency, it is the best model choice.

The right model should also be matched with the right accessories in order to achieve twice the effect with half the effort. DARO Heavy Industry Group is the first mass production of one-piece trailer axle enterprise in Liangshan, Shandong Province, has accumulated 20 years of experience, its trailer axle types are rich, lightweight, high load bearing, maintenance free, special customization series are fully covered, so that owners can use the appropriate trailer axle, provide higher safety protection, improve vehicle operation efficiency.
