What is a semi-trailer axle? Drivers pay more attention to these

Semi-trailer is a common type of vehicle in long-distance cargo transportation. It has no driving force of its own, so it needs to be connected with the tractor through the traction pin and realize driving by the driving force of the tractor. Semi-trailer transport volume, transport a variety of goods, compared with the "single type" car can better improve the comprehensive economic benefits of highway transport.

The axle of semi-trailer refers to the axle assembly specially used in the semi-trailer, which is a key part of the vehicle chassis, usually including the axle, brake and suspension and other accessory accessories. It is connected with the body of the trailer through the suspension, and the wheels are installed at both ends of the axle. Its main function is to bear the load of the trailer and maintain the normal running of the vehicle.

The axle is directly related to the load bearing, braking and driving of the semi-trailer. In order to fully guarantee the attendance rate, safety performance and economic benefits of the semi-trailer during the long journey, it is very important to choose a high-quality axle. Especially in the southwest of our country, the long-distance transportation of mountain road more, rugged terrain, long, curved slopes are common, vehicle driving conditions are more serious, this puts forward higher requirements for the quality and performance of the trailer bridge.

So, what aspects do owners pay more attention to when buying a axle? According to relevant market research results, the following is summarized:

The pursuit of lightweight axle design reduces dead weight and loads more

Especially after the implementation of the GB1589 new national standard, the weight of the vehicle has become a sensitive issue for the owners. GB1589 new national standard for different coaxial number of trailer weight limit gives a clear standard, which has become the traffic management department management of overload basis. How to achieve the vehicle's own weight reduction under the premise of meeting the load demand has become a more concerned issue in the industry.

Relevant data show that the weight of the axle of the three-axle trailer almost accounts for more than 20% of the total weight of the trailer, so the weight reduction of the axle is a crucial factor to achieve the weight reduction of the trailer. However, compared with other components, it is more difficult to reduce the importance of the axle, because one of the main functions of the axle is to bear weight. If the pursuit of the reduction of the weight of the axle affects the bearing performance, it will not be worth the loss. How to realize the lightweight design of axle while ensuring the same bearing capacity or even stronger bearing capacity has become the key target of axle enterprises at home and abroad.

Extend maintenance cycle to improve operation efficiency

In recent years, the logistics transportation industry has been developing, and the mileage of vehicles has been increasing. According to relevant research data, the annual mileage of long-distance transport semi-trailer is generally about 200,000-300000 kilometers, and some logistics enterprises with sufficient supply of goods have even more vehicle mileage. In such a high intensity of transport pressure, vehicle maintenance and maintenance is not negligible.

However, the axle is different from other parts, the maintenance workload is relatively large, but also needs a certain amount of relevant knowledge and technology, even if it is sent to the special network, the average maintenance will take about 2-3 hours, which has a greater impact on the daily use of the owner.

On this basis, extending the maintenance cycle and reducing the difficulty of operation has gradually become an industry trend.

In view of this phenomenon, Hongkai Axle introduced a longer maintenance cycle, effectively reducing the owner's downtime, at the same time, simplified the maintenance process, simpler operation steps, and improved operational efficiency.
