Illegal modification refers to the modification of the appearance, power system, transmission system and brake system of the vehicle that is not permitted by national regulations and is not agreed by the manufacturer, which exceeds the designed load capacity and function of the original vehicle, including the replacement of key components.


For a long time, the semi-trailer industry is the worst affected area of illegal modification, illegal modification is almost chaotic, and the safety problems caused by it are also endless, which needs to cause a high degree of vigilance in society.


Why is the problem of illegal modification in the trailer industry repeated?


1, China's automobile production is the access management system, some small enterprises with weak technical strength and lack of financial strength can not obtain qualification approval through conventional means, therefore, the purchase of certificates, illegal production of vehicles, low price for profit behavior is frequent, seriously disrupting market order.


2, users pursue the maximization of benefits, or the pursuit of multi-purpose vehicles, many companies in order to increase the number of orders, at the red line of regulations to meet the needs of users, illegal production of vehicles that do not meet the standard regulations.


3, the relevant supervision is not enough, there are many loopholes in the corresponding laws and policies. At present, the production of domestic vehicles needs to be announced and a series of testing and certification, legal modification of the review process is longer, if the user order is urgent, enterprises in order to seize the market often illegal modification. In addition, some regulations have their own loopholes, such as unreasonable maintenance quality limits, so that production enterprises are at a loss. And the relevant law enforcement departments are not strict in law enforcement, unfair in law enforcement, corruption in law enforcement links, and there are many loopholes in approval and supervision, affecting the market environment.

The type of vehicle with no "dump truck" mark and the hydraulic lifting function or dump device installed in the cargo compartment of the vehicle are illegal modified vehicles. This situation is more common in heavy van type or warehouse grid type semi-trailer.


According to the announcement, the van type cargo vehicle should not have a hydraulic lifting mechanism, there is no "van type dump truck", "van type dump semi-trailer" and other models, and the cargo part of the warehouse type cargo vehicle should not have the lifting function or use the dump structure.


There are also some tank semi-trailers, after the completion of the license, the tank body is modified, the top is removed, and the tail is changed into a dump truck style, which is also an illegal modification.


3. Remove the ceiling pole of the warehouse grid semi-trailer


In order to load ultra-high cargo, the top rod is often removed, such as partial removal, side insert, and overall collection. All warehouse grid semi-trailers can be judged as illegally modified vehicles as long as the top rod is removed or can be removed by hand.


4, large pallet truck loading platform


To be precise, the large plate truck is called a low plate semi-trailer, according to regulatory requirements, can only be used to transport non-removable large goods, and the gooseneck can not be loaded with goods. In actual transportation, some owners will be low plate semi-trailer for general cargo transportation, and even in order to be able to give full play to the advantages of loading, in the gooseneck loading platform, used to improve the load, which are illegal modifications.


5, non-standard containers


Container semi-trailers are generally composed of skeleton vehicles and containers, and containers do not belong to the body part, which provides a hotbed for illegal modifications to a certain extent. Skeleton cars fully comply with regulatory standards, but the cargo compartment is often too long and too wide. In fact, trailers or carriages with a width of more than 2.55 meters and a length of more than 13.75 meters can be judged as illegal modified vehicles.

6. Replace large tires without permission


In order to improve the loading capacity of the vehicle, some owners often replace the tires with large tires. Any tire specifications that are inconsistent with those registered on the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate can be judged as illegally modified models.


According to the regulations, the tire speed level installed by the motor vehicle should not be lower than the requirements of the maximum design speed of the vehicle, except for snow tires installed. For trucks or trailers with a total mass greater than 3500kg, the total carrying capacity of the installed tires should be less than or equal to 1.4 times the total mass, except for trailers for special purposes such as closed trucks and traveling trailers.


7, flat dump truck


With the strengthening of the crackdown on modified vehicles, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has positioned the flat dump semi-trailer as an illegal modified vehicle, refusing to issue a certificate of conformity, and later on, such vehicles will not only face the danger of being stopped by the traffic police, but also may receive a one-time ticket of 5,000 yuan - 20,000 yuan. According to the regulations, the plate dump semi-trailer that has been on the household and uploaded the certificate can be on the road, but it is still necessary to inquire about the implementation of the region.


In addition, unauthorized changes in the color of the body, unauthorized changes in the type or use of the vehicle, unauthorized modification of the chassis of the vehicle to increase the load capacity, the addition of wood heating or spare fuel tanks, change the standard, change the light, unauthorized changes in the main assembly components of the vehicle are illegal modifications, owners should also pay attention to.

The owner may have to ask: If "changing the main assembly parts of the vehicle" is an illegal modification, is it illegal to change the axle? In fact, as long as the model matches the model, it is not an illegal modification. DARO trailer axle is the first mass-produced one-piece trailer axle enterprise in Liangshan, Shandong Province, which has a history of more than 20 years.
