Product Description:

Many people will ask what is the difference between a drawbar flatbed trailer and a platform semi-trailer.



In fact, a full trailer and a semi-trailer are only connected differently than the traction car in front. Below we will introduce the difference between a semi-trailer and a full trailer.

Platform full trailer

Flatbed drawbar trailer is the front end of the trailer connected to the rear end of the tractor. The tractor only provides a pulling force and does not bear weight. That is, a full trailer is added behind the ordinary car, and the two are connected by a hook. The trailer can increase the loading capacity of the truck and reduce fuel consumption, thereby reducing transportation costs.

The load of the trailer is fully borne by itself, and it is only connected to the locomotive with a hook. The locomotive only provides power to help the trailer overcome the frictional resistance of the road. A trailer can stand upright on its own tires, while a semi-trailer must stand on its front legs.

Different type of drawbar flatbed trailer

There are many types of livestock drawbar trailers, and the basic frame, body, and walking system are basically the same as the commercial flatbed trailer.

At present, our common trailers include tanker trailers, flatbed trailers, container chassis trailers, and dump trailers.

Tank-type trailer: The cargo part is a trailer with a closed tank structure. Usually used to transport liquids, oil, water, chemical liquids, etc.

Tipper semi trailer: a trailer with an automatic dumping device in the cargo area. There may also be major traffic accidents caused by broken traction frames.

Container trailer: a trailer with a frame structure and no floor, which is specially used to transport containers.

Cargo trailer: a livestock drawbar trailer with fence or sidewall.

 

Advantages:

With respect to the car body, the tow bar or tow frame of the trailer can swing up and down or left and right. It is also used in mountainous areas or on bad roads.

Disadvantages:

The trailer has poor stability when driving at high speeds, and is prone to fatal hidden dangers such as braking and flicking.

 

Flatbed semi trailer:

A full trailer or a flatbed semi-trailer is also the same without its own power device. The flatbed semi-trailer is a type of trailer whose axle is located behind the center of gravity of the vehicle.

The trailer is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal or vertical forces to the tractor.

Part of the total weight of the trailer is borne by the tractor. It doesn't have itself power, it is carried together with the truck head, and the container carrier semi-trailer is driven by the tractor.

Flatbed trailer is usually used to transport 20ft or 40ft containers.

They are mainly used for container transportation supporting ships, ports, shipping lanes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport.

Use platform trailers to transfer cargo at the shipper’s warehouse. Unloaded to the consignee’s warehouse, when changing trailer or boat on the way, there is no need to take the goods out of the box and change them.

Different models of semi-trailer

There are many types of semi-trailers, such as flatbed semi-trailer, side wall trailer, fence cargo trailer, fuel tanker trailer, bulk cement tanker trailer, container skeletal trailer, van semi-trailers and special semi-trailers, etc.

1. Dump type semi-trailer: It is divided into side-turning and back-turning, light and medium-sized ordinary dump trailer for road transportation. Dump tipping trailer is mainly used for transportation of bulk cargo,   such as sand, gravel, coal, etc. It is usually used in conjunction with a loader.

2. Fence semi-trailer: The semi-trailer of the fence semi-trailer adopts the structure design of the fence. Mainly used for the transportation of agricultural and sideline products and other lighter goods.

3. Tank-type semi-trailer: The tank-type semi-trailer is equipped with a tank-type semi-trailer. It is mainly used to transport liquids, bulk materials and bulk cement.

Advantages:

Flat-plate semi-trailer has large carrying capacity, high-speed and stable driving, easy matching, and low driving difficulty. The most important point is that we can drive semi-trailers on high-speed roads, and semi-trailers play an important role in long-distance road transportation.

 

The use of semi-trailers is very wide. Compared with other ordinary trailers, semi-trailers can bring more economic income.  With the strong carrying capacity and large loading capacity of semi-trailers, one truck can load three times the goods of ordinary trucks. This shows that the semi-trailer brings more benefits to customers.
