What is drawbar trailer?--Technology application

| 2020-06-04

There are many types of drawbar trailer, and the basic frame, body, and walking system are basically the same as the truck. The longitudinal and transverse beams of the frame mostly adopt a groove-shaped interface structure, and the two longitudinal beams are arranged at the same width in front and back, so that the frame has better bending resistance.

Heavy-duty trailers carry large quantities of goods and large external dimensions. Generally speaking, the strength of the frame should be increased, and the height of the frame should be reduced as much as possible to facilitate the loading, unloading and transportation of the goods. According to the structure of its longitudinal beams, the trailer frame includes straight-through frame, stepped frame and concave beam frame.

Different from a semi-trailer, semi-trailer is a trailer whose axle is placed behind the center of gravity of the vehicle, and is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal or vertical forces to the tractor. Generally, the trailer has two axles and the semi-trailer has one axle. A semi-trailer refers to a vehicle that has no power by itself and carries a vehicle that relies on the traction of the main vehicle.

Simply put, drawbar trailer is connected to the front truck by a hook. In long-distance transportation, it is common to hang a carriage behind the truck, which is a full trailer. The semi-trailer is connected to the traction seat of the tractor by a traction pin. The common container transport vehicle is a typical semi-trailer, and the rear loading part is a semi-trailer.

TITAN drawbar trailers are–depending on their fittings – suitable for transporting diesel/heating oil or gasoline. The towing vehicle and trailer fit together perfectly. Meanwhile, a perfect trailing performance guarantees directional stability in all driving manoeuvres.

 

Here are some technical information of the drawbar trailers.

1.Transport weight

Three-axle  drawbar trailer with total permissible weight of 25 cbm.And we can customize it for you according to your requirement.

2.Bogie/Drawbar 

The rigid front axle on the drawbar trailer is positioned on a bogie, which pivots on the chassis. The drawbar and associated height-adjustment fittings are affixed to the frame of the bogie.

Only drawbars with a special KTL coating are affixed to our tank trailers. This surface finish offers five times higher corrosion protection than a conventional finish. The bogie is fully galvanised up to the axle mounts.

3.Brakes/Suspension 

Braking comfort improved with integrated brake system and function. Vehicle safety can be increased through selective braking in the case of risk of tipping.

The function accelerates reaction and pressure build-up times in the brake cylinders. This reduces the stopping distance by a few metres.

Driving stability is assured by the ABS function during the braking process.

The function uses selective braking to prevent the tanker from tipping, jack-knifing or skidding.

The tank trailer air suspension can be managed mechanically via an air suspension valve or electronically via an control box.

4.Fittings

The controls and dry coupling for the connecting hose are placed in the box on the front right of the vehicle as standard. They can also be mounted in the discharging cabinet.

Our tank trailers are equipped with two side safety installations as well as Tank and underride protection with rear covers.

5.Loading/ Discharging

The tank trailers can be loaded as follows:Top loading via man hole,Bottom loading via bottom valves.

Discharging fittings available include:Discharging via the connecting hose and discharging outlets on the towing vehicle.Gravity discharging via unmetered outlet

6.Safety

The tank trailer can be fitted with additional safety and technical features:Rear view camera,Reflective contour markings,Working lights,Reversing lights at the rear,Two walkways and handrails by the spill box.

Each tank trailer is supplied with full label features for road-worthiness. Depending on the type of vehicle, you receive:

Hazard signs,Hazard labels,Required accessories (hook wrench, square socket etc.)

 

Drawbar trailer is generally composed of a frame, a body, a traction device, a steering device, a suspension, a walking system, a braking system, a signal system, etc. The heavy-duty trailer is designed to meet the requirements of its structure and use. The frame is mainly composed of main beam, cross beam, support beam and side beam. The load of the whole vehicle is transmitted to the ground through the support beams, suspension, wheel axles and wheels between the cross beams. The main beam, support beam and side beam of the frame are welded parts of box-shaped cross-section, which have a large torsional rigidity.

The beams connecting the main beams protrude to both sides and are I-shaped welded structures with variable cross-sections, which have high transverse bending strength. The height of the main beam of the frame is large and extends downward, so that the frame can increase the longitudinal bending strength of the frame without increasing the height of the cargo bed. Under each support beam, there is a turntable mechanism installed with a balance suspension to achieve all-wheel steering.
