Hydraulic Axle Trailer Applications

Hydraulic axle trailer, also known as modular trailer or heavy-duty modules, self-propelled modular transporter for sale, is mainly used for the transportation of heavy, large, and high different structures. Its advantages are flexible use, convenient loading and unloading, and the load capacity of the multi-axle modular trailer can reach more than 50,000 tons under the condition of module assembly or free combination. The hydraulic modular trailer is widely used in equipment manufacturing, petroleum, chemical industry, offshore oil, bridge construction, and other engineering fields.

The commonly used method of loading modules by offshore cranes has the disadvantages of high cost, long operation time, and high-risk factors. Compared with the roll-on and roll-off method of more hydraulic axle trailers in the market, the technology is obviously backward. Using the heavy-duty modules, SPMT to transport the project cargo can complete the cargo transportation more flexibly and safely. In addition, the use of multi-axle modular trailers to transport such cargo does not need to consider factors such as offshore crane coverage, so the requirements for the construction location of the building sector are also low, which is conducive to the company's more reasonable site planning. By studying and mastering the technology of launching the marine module with the modular trailer or SPMT, we can not only reduce the cost and improve the efficiency but also provide new technical solutions for other projects and fill the gap in this field.

How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Axle Lowboy Trailer?

In the relevant reports of heavy cargo transportation or when buying hydraulic axle trailers we often hear the statements of 2 line 4 axle,3 line six axle. I believe many friends are confused by these professional terms. So, today we will take this opportunity to talk to you about the basic parameters of a hydraulic axle trailer! Seeing the end definitely makes you know "several axles and lines" clearly!

First, let's understand the basic concepts of length, width, and wheelbase.

Trailer length L

Trailer length refers to the length of the cargo platform of the hydraulic axle trailer, which is the distance from the front splicing end face to the last splicing end face of the trailer body, as shown in the L dimension in the above figure.

Trailer width b

Trailer width refers to the outermost width of the hydraulic lowboy trailer, as shown in dimension B in the above figure. In the design of a hydraulic flat trailer, the outermost tire is the same width as the vehicle body, and the width of the vehicle body is the width of the cargo platform. Therefore, the width of the hydraulic axle trailer is not only the width of the cargo platform of the vehicle set but also the traffic width of the trailer.

Trailer wheelbase a

The distance between every two axles of the trailer is called the wheelbase, as shown in dimension an in the above figure. A hydraulic axle trailer is generally set with an equal wheelbase. There may be multiple wheels and suspensions on one line. Since most modular trailers can be spliced horizontally, the number of axles of the trailer can be adjusted according to the quality or size of the goods.

The number of suspension columns along the transverse direction of the hydraulic multi-axle modular trailer is called the number of columns of the trailer, in other words, the number of suspensions (axles) on the axles of a trailer.

What is the definition of OWC or Heavy Cargo?

A standard vehicle with highest GVW is an articulated Trailer. A trailer having a double axle in the prime mover and triple axle in the trailer has a GVW of 49 tons. Trailer’s tare weight equals 15 tons approx which allows a maximum payload of 34 tons. Any load weighing over 34 tons cannot be transported on standard vehicles and is know as Heavy Cargo or OWC or Overweight Cargo.

How can OWC be transported?

Heavy Cargo transportation is done on a special equipment known as Hydraulic Modular Trailer or as is commonly known, a Hydraulic Axle Trailer. Hydraulic Axle Trailer is used for any loads heavier than 34 tons. Hydraulic Axle have 8 tyres in a single row, having a GVW of 18 tons and tare weight of approx 4 tons per axle/row. This allows a payload of 14 tons per axle. 

What’s unique about Hydraulic axles is its modularity. These routes can be combined to create a Hydraulic Modular Trailer having 4 rows to any number of rows demanded by the application. This theoretically allows for carrying loads weighing in s of tons, as long as it’s coupled with powerful enough combination of pullers to tow the load. These axles can be combined longitudinally well as laterally.

Unique cargo requirements like a very heavy cargo with a very small footprint or a very large footprint with relatively lighter weight or overweight cargo with extreme heights are taken care of by many available options of custom attachments. These attachments and technicalities of heavy equipment transportation requires a separate article of its own and will be discussed in much detail later.

Today we will look at how installing a camera system to one’s fleet can have huge benefits when it comes to knowing what actually happened in case of an accident, or help in preventing thefts of vehicle parts.

Although not seen much in the Indian market, dash cams have been installed on many cars in certain countries. Dash cams are always-on cameras installed on the dashboard of cars that record what the driver sees. When it comes to commercial vehicles, usually two to four cameras are installed around the vehicle. Here are some of the problems that a camera system can help mitigate, including some unique to India :

Accidents : In case of an accident especially when there is damage to the cargo, the fleet owner has no other way of knowing what actually happened other than the driver’s account. And the driver’s biased opinion can be of little help at preventing such a situation from occurring again. The benefits of having cameras that record each and every second of the vehicle movement are obvious here. One can know for sure if it was the driver’s or the vehicles fault, in which case the truck or trailer may need maintenance.

Tyre Theft : Tyres of heavy commercial vehicles such as trailers, axles, etc can be very expensive in the range of Rs to each. And there is very little one can do to prevent tyre theft. Cameras can act as a strong deterrent since most thefts happen with the involvement of the driver. And if the driver is aware of the camera system, it will probably not be worth losing a regular job.

Other equipment Theft : Often times many fleet owners have the opportunity of renting out their trucks, trailers or hydraulic axles to other transporters. The risk here is that the vehicle may not be handled with care. Also, certain parts such as tie rods in hydraulic axle can easily be replaced with old or damaged ones. It is impossible to keep track of each and every part. But with cameras that are recording everything around the vehicle, renting out the vehicle should be much safer.

Bribery : It is not rare for drivers to claim that they are being stopped by the octroi officer or the traffic police demanding to pay up fines for one or the other reason. The fleet owner has no way of ascertaining if the driver is really being stopped, and have no option but to pay up the “demanded bribe”. A dash cam can certainly help here. Of course, the driver can arrange for someone to play out an act, but it would be that much harder to pull off if the cabin also has a camera / mic arrangement.

Bulk load theft : When loading items of bulk such as scrap metal, one of the concerns is that some of the material gets stolen along the way. Since it is not always possible to check the weight of the bulk at the time of loading and unloading, often times there is little that can be done to prevent such theft. However, any attempt to unload or take unapproved detours will be recorded by the camera.

Driver Detours : When vehicles are hired on time basis, a practice of taking detours by some drivers has been observed. They sometimes arrange for the transport of some goods by themselves, keeping their employer out of the loop and all the profit to themselves, before returning on site. Such practices can easily be avoided with the use of cameras.

Problems : Camera systems for trucks / trailers have to be weather proof. They also have to be secure, or else the first thing that might be stolen will be the cameras. Such requirements adds to the cost which is why most systems are expensive. Cameras themselves aren’t that expensive. If commercial vehicle manufacturers were to have an option that includes inbuilt cameras, most of these problems could easily be solved.

These systems are not popular in India yet. However it is a one time investment that has many benefits. These can be expensive too, but i’m sure some indigenous entrepreneur can seize the opportunity and come up with a reliable cost efficient camera system.
