For the trailer driver, the vehicle is a tool to maintain a livelihood, is a magic weapon to get rich, the attendance rate of the vehicle, failure rate, etc., is directly related to the owner's profit and income. In order to maximize the value of the vehicle and bring the greatest economic benefits, one is to choose the right model, and the other is to choose the right parts.

Take the trailer axle as an example, although it is not as prominent as the body, it is a key component to bear the load, ensure braking, maintain driving, and assist in shock absorption. If the trailer axle is selected correctly, it can make the vehicle more durable and reduce or avoid various unnecessary troubles in use.


Once a customer contacted DARO trailer axles and wanted to order a batch of 10t trailer axles to be used with the wheel end accessories on the original old axles. Originally a very ordinary order, but something happened to make this customer incredible.


After DARO made the drawing of the trailer axle according to the customer's requirements, it was found that the size could not match the customer's existing parts. After repeated confirmation, it was found that the parts parameters were wrong. The customer questioned this, so he found the old axle for comparison, did not expect that not only the accessories, even the tonnage and parameters of the old axle also have problems, and the specifications required by the customer are much worse.


At this time, the customer suddenly realized that no wonder the old axle was broken after half a year, the original manufacturer cut corners, and the tonnage was not up to standard.


There are countless large and small axle factories on the market, and DARO trailer axle is not a unique case like this. However, for the buyer, it seems to be difficult to find a simple and accurate method that can test axle tonnage or parameters on site.

So how can we reduce or avoid being cheated by bad manufacturers? The DARO trailer axle is briefly summarized from the following points for your reference:


First, from which channels to contact the manufacturer?


1. Introduction of acquaintances


In all channels, the introduction of people to know is a relatively reliable one, especially when the introducer is the user of the product, after all, when introducing the product to others, it is generally a better experience of their own use.


2. Search online


In the era of mobile Internet, online search is one of the most common ways to find the target product, such as search engines, Ali stores, etc., search box type in the target product, you can find a lot of corresponding manufacturers or brands. This way is the most simple, never leave the house, the disadvantage is that the content of the nature of advertising is more, to screen out the real good products in the same "easy to use, durable, high quality" also need more patience.


3. Field trips


This is the most troublesome of several channels, but also the most reliable one, directly to the target factory to see if it is the same as the advertising, so that some small brands can be excluded.

Second, from what aspects to investigate?


1. Manufacturer background


It mainly depends on when the establishment time is, how the development situation since the establishment is, what the main business is or what the main products are. Under normal circumstances, the earlier the establishment of the enterprise, the more industry experience accumulated, and the production strength, production scale is proportional.


2. Manufacturer qualification


Qualification is the premise and basis of quality, with the qualification to talk about product quality. A set of perfect enterprise qualifications, not only represents the manufacturer's organizational management ability and production and operation level, but also the performance of the manufacturer's strength, such as the enterprise's own qualifications, production standards, product quality qualifications, and so on.


3. Production scale


Judging the production scale of the manufacturer, you can start from the factory area, the number of workers, production equipment and other aspects, these can be learned through field investigation, want to cheat is more difficult. In addition, you can also understand the manufacturer's product series, annual output and marketing network, under normal circumstances, the richer the product series, the larger the production scale, the annual output and marketing network is even more so.


4. Technical strength


To judge the strength of the technical strength, we must first look at the patent layout, and the patent technical strength directly represents the R&D strength of the manufacturer. In addition, the production process, quality inspection means, etc., is also a manifestation of technical strength, if the field investigation can be understood closely. Generally speaking, if the background, qualification and production scale of the manufacturer are all passed, the technical strength problem is not big.


5. Market reputation


The market is the touchstone of product quality, and the user's word of mouth is more reliable than all advertising. In this mobile Internet prevailing society, various communities, forums, circles are countless, sometimes a search on the Internet, you can receive a lot of user feedback, can also be used as a reference.


6. Cooperative customers


Look at the manufacturer's cooperative customers, which is the most intuitive and relatively simple way to judge the strength of the manufacturer, such as the strength of cooperative customers, the number of cooperative customers, the length of cooperation time, etc.

DARO trailer axle suggests that although the axle is only one of the parts on the semi-trailer, it is directly linked to the attendance rate, failure rate and operational safety of the vehicle, and it is necessary to consider comprehensively when purchasing, and it is not possible to only look at the price. If there are conditions, it is best to go to the factory site inspection, especially in the case of large orders. Of course, with all kinds of online tools now available, remote inspection is also an option.
