Vehicle transport semi-trailer, as the name suggests, is specially used for the transport of vehicles, such as the transport of cars, vans, commercial vehicles, Jeep and other passenger vehicles, generally with smooth lifting, light structure, safe and convenient operation, good ride comfort and other characteristics.


The rise of the vehicle transportation and logistics industry probably dates back to the early 1990s, when consumer demand for passenger cars increased. The original method of driving a new car directly from the factory to the dealership was no longer enough, because it meant that the new car had already been driven some distance. Hence the concept of "zero-kilometer transportation," in which new cars are transported to dealerships in specialized delivery vehicles.

So, the vehicle transport semi-trailer can usually be divided into several kinds?


1. Skeleton type.


Skeleton transport vehicle, that is, both sides are composed of column structure, no side door, front piece, back piece or top piece, the transport vehicle is directly exposed outside.


They cost less, weigh less and consume less fuel, but transport vehicles that are vulnerable to damage and less protected from cargo.


2. Fully enclosed.


Fully enclosed transport vehicle, that is, the side piece and the front piece are closed by door plate, the top piece is closed by tarpaulin type, and the back door is designed by the rear piece, which is similar to the van type.


This kind of model and skeleton type is on the contrary, since the major, high fuel consumption, high cost, but the goods that is the transport of the vehicle protection is strong, generally used for the transport of expensive models, but also can be used for the transport of other goods.


3. Semi-enclosed.


The semi-enclosed transporter is between the skeleton type and the fully enclosed type, with two side door panels, the top plate and the back door are eliminated, and the advantages and disadvantages are also between the previous two models.


In the past, the supervision of relevant departments on vehicle transportation was relatively small, so driven by profits, some people began to cheat on the carriage, such as changing the push-pull rear structure to make the car longer, or widening the upper bracket instead of single row to double row, in order to have a higher traffic volume.

There are also different names for different transport models in the industry. For example, "single row", "single cage" and "small cage" refer to the transport vehicles with the upper and lower floors in a single row, which can generally hold 12-13 vehicles; "Two strange" and "T cage" refers to the transport vehicles with double rows on the upper layer and single rows on the lower layer, which can load up to 18 vehicles. If the lower layer can be hydraulically lifted to stack the vehicles, it is called "airplane jump", which can generally hold 20-24 vehicles. "Big monster" refers to a double row of transport vehicles, usually capable of transporting more than 30 vehicles.


GB1589 after the introduction of the new regulations, the relevant departments for the vehicle transportation industry supervision greatly strengthened, in addition to the ban, fines, also joined the punishment of the enterprise credit system, if there are violations, whether passenger car manufacturers, or carriers, drivers, will be included in the serious illegal overloading trust-breaking party list.


At present, in the vehicle transportation industry, flat head tractor + trailer, long head tractor + trailer and middle trailer axle vehicle transport vehicles gradually show a three-sided situation. Under the regulations and standards, flat head tractor + trailer can carry 6 vehicles, long head tractor + trailer can carry 7 vehicles, middle axle trailer can carry 8 vehicles.

In view of the particularity of the goods transported by the vehicle transport semi-trailer, the requirements for vehicle stability, vehicle center of gravity and vehicle weight are generally higher, so the selection of trailer axle and suspension gets twice the result with half the effort. DARO Group is one of the first domestic enterprises to start mass production of all-in-one trailer axles. It has been deeply engaged in the axles industry for 20 years, and its technology, technology, experience and strength are all in the forefront of the industry, which can meet the diversified needs of users.


Special size can provide customized services, price adhere to the cost-effective route, sales network covers the whole country, and many trailer enterprises, logistics companies, transport fleet, retail owners to establish a stable and good cooperative relationship.
