What is the difference between low flat trailer axle and ordinary trailer axle?

Low flat trailer is a special vehicle, specialized in the transport of heavy vehicles, rail vehicles, construction machinery, highway construction equipment, large tanks, power station equipment and other types of non-removable large goods, its structure is generally designed into concave beam type, flat type and tire exposed type, the body around the fence plate, convenient loading and unloading and fixing of goods.

Compared with other models, the transport weight of low flat trailer is greater, and the requirements for transport stability, passability and safety are also higher, and such models often have higher requirements when choosing accessories. So, can a low flat trailer use an ordinary trailer rear axle?

Before we can answer this question, let's compare the difference between low flatbed trailer axles and ordinary trailer axles.

The wheel end of the low flat trailer axle is generally more exquisite and small, and the diameter of the brake drum is smaller than that of the ordinary trailer axle:

This design makes the height of the axle of the low flat trailer from the ground shorter than that of the ordinary trailer axle, which can reduce the center of gravity of the vehicle to a certain extent, make the cargo loading and unloading truck more convenient, and improve the stability of the vehicle during driving. Especially when vehicles transporting large loads encounter high road sections, a lower center of gravity often means higher passability.

Although the raw material used for the low flat trailer axle is also a 20Mn2 seamless steel pipe, the selected steel pipe wall thickness is higher than that of the ordinary trailer axle:

Such a thickness difference can be completely observed by the naked eye, and such a design can ensure the load-bearing capacity of the low flat trailer axle to a certain extent, so as to provide good and stable support when transporting large goods. In addition, not only the axle beam, the wheel hub, brake drum, brake pads and other parts selected by the axle of the low flat trailer are also dedicated to heavy duty, whether it is strength, toughness or wear resistance, they can fully meet the standards, jointly providing a solid foundation for the transportation of the low flat trailer.

Through the above content, we know that there is a difference between the low flat trailer axle and the ordinary trailer axle, and its design from appearance to interior is tailored for the low flat trailer, which is more in line with the transportation needs of the low flat trailer.

Of course, there are many low flat trailer axles on the market, and the quality is uneven, how to choose is also a technology, and it is recommended that owners try to choose those products that enter the market earlier. On the one hand, such products have gone through the baptism of the market, quality and performance have been verified; On the other hand, these manufacturers have accumulated many years of production experience, and the strength is still trustworthy. Of course, if conditions permit, it is recommended that the owner visit the trailer axle factory, whether it is technology, process or scale and strength, face-to-face inspection can also make false propaganda nowhere to hide.
