Which is better, the "flight box" trailer or the side curtain car?

"Aeroplane box" is a common name for flying wing vehicles in the freight industry. The scientific name is "open van transport vehicle". Improve the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading.

Under normal circumstances, the tailgate of the cargo compartment of the flying wing car can be opened 270°, and the baffles on both sides can be opened nearly 90°. Fast, high efficiency, saving manpower and material resources, can greatly improve the turnaround time of goods.

After seeing the pictures of the flying wing car, some car owners feel that it is similar to the side curtain car. After all, after the side curtain and the tailgate of the side curtain car are fully opened, the cargo compartment can also be fully opened:

Besides, the penetration rate of side curtain vehicles in Europe is very high, which also explains to a certain extent its wide application in the logistics and transportation industry. So if these two models are compared, which one is more suitable for domestic use?

1. Loading and unloading efficiency

As mentioned above, since the cargo compartments of both models can be opened, they are both suitable for mechanized operations.

2. Cargo fixed

The flying wing car is better than the side curtain car. After all, the sides of the side curtain car are non-fixed and movable curtains, which cannot guarantee the stability of the goods inside, especially for the goods placed randomly, the stability is even worse. .

Although the car company advertises that the strength of the curtain is comparable to that of the baffle, if it encounters shaking or tilting during transportation, can the curtain fully support the goods? Will there be a phenomenon that the goods are thrown out of the cargo compartment? I'm afraid it still can't be completely reassuring.

Because of this, side curtain vehicles rely more on pallets when transporting goods.

3. Cargo compartment seal

The airtightness of the cargo compartment is related to the safety of the cargo. Although the top of the flying wing car and the side curtain car can protect against wind and rain, in the face of cargo theft, the anti-theft performance of the curtain may be inferior to that of the steel structure baffle. Therefore, the side curtain car is not suitable for use in the more expensive cargo transportation field.

4. Vehicle weight

Compared with ordinary vans, the curtain fabric of the side curtain car is lighter than the baffle. According to relevant calculations, the curb weight of the 14m long and 2.55m wide three-axle side curtain trailer can be reduced to less than 6T. The common steel in China The curb weight of an ordinary van of the same specification with corrugated plate structure is generally around 9 tons. Therefore, whether it is loading capacity, fuel consumption or reducing tolls, side curtain vehicles are more advantageous.

On the other hand, since the baffles of the flying wing car have to realize the lifting function, in order to ensure that the cargo compartment does not deform during the lifting process, more materials than ordinary cargo compartments need to be used for reinforcement, and the weight is originally higher than that of ordinary compartments. Cars, compared with side curtain cars, do not have an advantage.

5. Site requirements

In this regard, the side curtain vehicle is not much different from the ordinary van vehicle, and the flying wing vehicle has higher requirements on the site and space for cargo loading and unloading because the side panels on both sides need to be opened and closed.

6. Goods selection

The flying wing car can be used in the transportation of household appliances, clothing, chemicals, beverages, food, auto parts and other goods, and other larger, more high-end and valuable items can also be applied, even for industries with higher requirements for transportation and loading and unloading efficiency. You can consider the flying wing car.

The goods that can be transported by side-curtain vehicles, such as less-than-truckload, department stores, fruits, vegetables, and trees, can basically be transported as long as they can be loaded, but they are limited by pallets, and are more suitable for point-to-point, fixed supply, and palletized loading and unloading industries.

7. Vehicle cost

At present, the cost of the flying wing car and the side curtain car is not low, and the flying wing car is more expensive because it needs to add a hydraulic lifting system and reinforcement components;

The side curtain car is because it needs to be matched with a large single tire, air suspension, and lightweight materials to achieve a significant weight reduction effect, which leads to the high price of the side curtain car. In addition, the cord track is a kind of precision wearing parts, if it is accidentally damaged in subsequent use, it will cost a lot of money.

Objectively speaking, whether it is a flying wing car or a side curtain car, both meet the high-efficiency transportation trend required by the development of modern logistics, and both have their own limitations and problems that need to be improved. As for which model is better, the DARO trailer axle or In that sentence, combined with their actual use conditions, it depends on which advantage the car owner values more, "A's honey and second's arsenic", the one that suits you is the best.
