Precautions for driving a Flatbed semi trailer in rainy weather

Driving in rainy weather is a challenge for Flatbed semi trailers, and special attention should be paid to safety measures.

First, ensure that the tread depth of the trailer tires meets national standards, which can effectively increase the vehicle's grip on slippery roads. Secondly, choose high-quality tires, and regularly check and replace worn tires to keep the trailer in good operating condition.

At the same time, be sure to slow down when driving in rainy days, avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking, and keep the speed within a safe range.

In addition, if conditions permit, anti-skid chains can be used to enhance driving stability. Anti-skid chains directly increase the friction coefficient of tires by covering the surface of the wheels to prevent slipping. However, it should be noted that the use range of anti-skid chains is generally recommended not to exceed 50 kilometers, and the speed should be controlled when using them to avoid sudden braking. If the road surface is relatively flat, the anti-skid chains should be removed in time.

When driving in rainy days, pay special attention to the road conditions. When encountering waterlogging and flooded sections, trailer driving should be particularly cautious. When entering the platform, you should try to choose a low-lying location so that the wheels are under the electric wire track to prevent large-scale slipping caused by rain accumulation. In addition, you must also pay attention to the right angle between the front of the vehicle and the body of the vehicle to avoid danger caused by water impact.

Friendly tips: ‌ Safety first when driving in the rain. Please be sure to stay calm and drive carefully to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
