What's the difference between a dump trailer and a semi trailer?
At present, many large logistics companies adopt a mode of transportation. As the name implies, it is to use the tractor to tow the trailer to the destination, put down the goods together with the trailer, and then drag other trailers filled with goods to another place, to achieve continuous vehicle operation.
Thus it can be seen that the trailer is not a type of vehicle classification, but a mode of transport, the more accurate name should be the sling transport. Semi trailer, full trailer and even middle axle trailer can be used for swing transport.
Sling is widely used in foreign logistics and transportation industry, especially in European and American countries, sling transport of goods accounts for 70-80% of the total number of goods, mainly used in warehouse to port, warehouse to cargo station centralized transportation, has developed into a major mode of transportation in Europe and America.
Characteristics of swing transport:
1. Improve transportation efficiency and increase vehicle operating income.
Under the same transport conditions, the vehicle transport efficiency depends on the load of goods, loading and unloading time, vehicle speed and other factors, swing transport greatly saves the vehicle parking waiting time during cargo loading and unloading, so it can improve the transport efficiency and increase the operating income.
2. The more sufficient the supply of goods, the more efficient the sling transportation efficiency.
In the process of vehicle transportation, the trailer of the destination should be loaded, and ensure that when the vehicle arrives, the trailer is full of goods, so as to achieve the vehicle immediately after arriving at the destination can be replaced by the trailer, to avoid time consuming and costs caused by such goods, marketing transportation efficiency.
3. Reduce logistics costs and give full play to vehicle transportation efficiency.
For suspension transportation, only the time control is good, the vehicle can play the maximum efficiency, a tractor can play two or even three tractor work efficiency, can reduce the cost of buying cars and personnel costs.
The essence of sling transport lies in flexible "sling" and "sling", how to promote the efficient performance of sling transport? There are mainly the following aspects:
1, improve the versatility between tractor and trailer.
The production of tractor saddle should be standardized and universal to meet the requirement of frequent lifting between tractor and trailer.
2. Realize the lightweight of vehicles.
According to the actual situation of the tractor and trailer scientific and reasonable weight reduction, within the scope of the regulations allowed to load more goods.
3. Improve the construction of freight transportation facilities.
Sling transport requires the site to meet operating standards and provide sufficient space for lifting, parking, loading and unloading. Especially some heavy hanging length of nearly 20 meters, must have enough space to meet the basic operation requirements of the vehicle.
4. Improve information management.
Information management has now become an essential operating condition for suspension transportation, with vehicles and goods real-time tracking, scheduling, customer management and other basic operations, convenient for the company and customers to real-time query the movement of goods and vehicles.
5. Strengthen cooperation between enterprises.
Whether the supply of goods is sufficient directly affects the efficiency of sling transportation. Therefore, enterprises can find more opportunities for cooperation. High-quality supplies can cooperate with each other to ensure adequate supply of goods and improve the efficiency of sling transportation.
In addition, it is necessary to fully ensure the load-bearing, safety, durability and other performance of the trailer. DARO Group is the first enterprise in Liangshan special vehicle production base to mass-produce all-piece trailer axles. It has 20 years of industry experience, and has made leading progress in the strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, lightweight and other aspects of trailer axles. The product types are rich and the quality is reliable, which can provide more stable guarantee for the owners to improve the operating efficiency. In terms of price, DARO always adheres to the cost-effective route, and the affordable price saves more costs for car owners. Saving money and easy to use is the basis and guarantee of the high efficiency of the sling transport.
