Analysis of the core functions and applications of flatbed semi-trailers

Flatbed semi-trailers are a type of transport vehicle designed with an open flatbed platform as the core. With its versatility, they have become an important piece of equipment in the field of logistics and transportation. Its core functions are reflected in the following aspects:

1. Extra-large cargo space

Flatbed semi-trailers adopt a flat structure without side walls or roofs. The cargo platform can be more than 13 meters long and can flexibly carry extra-long, extra-wide or special-shaped goods such as construction machinery, steel, and wind turbine blades to meet the diverse needs of large-scale transportation.

2. High load capacity

Through high-strength steel frames and multi-axle designs (such as 3-axle to 5-axle), flatbed semi-trailers can carry 30 tons to more than 100 tons of heavy objects. Combined with a low center of gravity design, it ensures the stability and safety of heavy-load transportation, which is especially suitable for mining equipment, large equipment and other scenarios.

3. Efficient loading and unloading operations

The low flatbed structure (usually less than 1 meter above the ground) facilitates direct loading and unloading by forklifts and cranes. Some models are equipped with removable side rails or hydraulic ladders to further simplify the loading and unloading process and greatly improve transportation efficiency.

4. Widely applicable scenarios

From excavator transportation in infrastructure projects, to wind power equipment distribution in the new energy field, to large equipment transportation in the manufacturing industry, flatbed semi-trailers have become the preferred tool for heavy industry, energy, logistics and other industries due to their adaptability.

5. Regulatory compliance

In accordance with the national standard "Road Vehicle Outline Dimensions, Axle Load and Mass Limits" (GB1589), some models can apply for overload transportation licenses to expand the transportation range under legal conditions.

With its modular design, high load-bearing capacity and scene adaptation capabilities, flatbed semi-trailers have become the core carrier of large-scale logistics, playing an irreplaceable role in reducing comprehensive transportation costs and improving supply chain efficiency.
