With the continuous development of the logistics and transportation industry and the continuous improvement of the level of industrial development, the petrochemical industry takes an increasing proportion in the economy, and correspondingly, the demand for the transportation of dangerous goods is also increasing.


So, what kind of license do you need to transport dangerous goods?

In fact, the type of driver's license required for the transport of dangerous goods is also determined according to the vehicle type. If it is a dangerous goods transport truck, a B2 driver's license is generally required. If it is a semi-trailer for the transport of dangerous goods, a Class A2 driver's license is required. This is no different from the type of driver's license required for general transportation.


However, in addition to the driver's license, other conditions are required for the transport of dangerous goods, which mainly include the following:


1. Certificate required by the driver:


Valid driving license issued by the public security department;


The qualification certificate for the transportation of dangerous goods for commercial road transport drivers issued by the competent transportation department.


2. Documents required for vehicles:

The road transport license issued by the competent transportation department shall be affixed with the special seal for the transport of dangerous goods on road;

Valid driving license issued by the vehicle administration department of public security;

Valid tank quality inspection certificate issued by the quality and technical supervision department;

Road Permit for the transport of highly toxic chemicals (transport of highly toxic chemicals);

Hang up the traffic signs and signs issued by the traffic department as required.


3. Documents required by escorts:


The road dangerous goods operation certificate (Escort Certificate) issued by the competent transportation department.


Thus, if you want to engage in the transport of dangerous goods, in addition to the driver, vehicle and escort all need to have the corresponding qualifications.

In addition, there are certain differences between the vehicles used for the transportation of dangerous goods and ordinary vehicles, mainly in the following aspects:


1. Disc brake and ABS system. The front axle of dangerous goods vehicle must be equipped with disc brake, and the whole vehicle must be equipped with ABS system;


2. Exhaust pipe. The engine exhaust pipe of the dangerous goods transport vehicle should be in front, and exhaust spark extinguisher should be installed at the tail end of the exhaust pipe to cool the motor vehicle exhaust gas;


3. Vehicle speed. The maximum speed of dangerous goods transport vehicles shall not exceed 80 km/h;


4. Emergency cutting device. The tank car is installed at the liquid and gas interface of liquefied petroleum gas or liquefied gas tank car. The function is to close the valve by itself when the medium leaks.


5. Warning signs. Dangerous goods transport vehicles must be painted with safety notices, explosive diamond-shaped signs, hazard lights and the word "Explosive" in orange;


6. Electrostatic rubber drag belt. Dangerous goods vehicles need to be installed on the bottom frame of the electrostatic rubber tow belt;


7, traffic recorder, cargo compartment ventilation design, ion smoke fire detector, electrostatic conductive rubber plate, antiexplosion container and other accessories installation, dangerous goods vehicles are much higher than ordinary trailer requirements.


So can dangerous goods transport vehicles be used for the transport of general goods? Especially the logistics company's dangerous goods transport vehicle, can "one car multi-purpose"?

To this, the transport department made a reply: tank type special vehicles or transport dangerous toxic, infectious, corrosive goods special vehicles shall not be used to transport general goods. Other dangerous goods transport vehicles can be used to transport general goods if they meet certain conditions, such as cleaning and elimination of dangerous goods or hazard elimination treatment and inspection standards, but dangerous goods and general goods are not allowed to be mixed.


For the transport of dangerous goods, safety is no small matter, after all dangerous goods and ordinary goods, transport more dangerous than other goods. Therefore, in the selection of accessories, we should also choose high-quality products with reliable performance standards. In the selection of trailer axle, I recommend to you the DARO Group production of disc trailer axle.

As a brand that has been in the market for more than 20 years, DARO trailer axles are reliable in terms of production technology and quality performance. DARO disc axle with "one piece" cast shaft instead of the traditional "three piece" welded shaft body, heavy load and stability has been greatly improved; At the same time, intermediate frequency induction strengthening treatment is added to the bearing connection part to further improve the strength and stability of the shaft head. In terms of self-weight, the Dairong disc axle uses about 15% less weight than the traditional axle to achieve lightweight, improve the bearing capacity and stability, help the owner to improve the operating efficiency, reduce the cost of comprehensive vehicle.
