How To Choose The Most Suitable Rear Dump Semi-Trailer For You?
In modern logistics and transportation, dump trailers are an indispensable means of transportation, especially in industries such as construction, mining and agriculture. They are widely used to transport bulk goods such as sand, coal, ore, and building materials. Among various dump trailers, 3-axle rear-dump trailers have become the first choice of customers due to their superior load capacity and ease of operation. This article will help you understand how to choose a rear-dump trailer that suits you, and introduce its common application scenarios and the advantages of Starway Vehicle dump trailers. The following article is for your reference
What’s A Rear Dump Trailer ?
The rear dump semi-trailer controls the turning of the carriage through a hydraulic system to facilitate quick unloading. The carriage remains level during transportation, and when unloading, it is flipped over so that the goods can be unloaded directly. With its advantages in transportation efficiency and transportation period, it plays an irreplaceable role in the transportation of loose goods such as soil and coal. Rear dump semi-trailers are available in a variety of specifications and configurations, with 3-axle design being a common configuration that provides higher load capacity and better stability and is suitable for transporting heavy and bulk cargo.
How to choose a rear dump trailer that suits you?
There are several factors to consider :
1、Loading capacity
Different dump trailers have different load capacities. For a 3-axle rear tipping dump semi-trailer, the typical load capacity is between 30 and 60 tons. You need to choose the appropriate load based on your actual transportation needs. If you need to frequently transport heavy ore or sand, it will be more suitable to choose a semi-trailer with a strong load capacity.
2、Carriage size
The size of the trailer is also an important factor to consider when choosing a dump trailer. Common trailer lengths are 8, 9, 10 meters, etc. Different sizes are suitable for transporting different types of goods. The width and height of the trailer are also factors to pay attention to when choosing, ensuring that it can accommodate the items you are transporting and meets the safety requirements of transportation.
3、Hydraulic system
The core of the rear-turning dump semi-trailer lies in its hydraulic system, which determines the speed and efficiency of unloading. The quality and power of the hydraulic system directly affect the smoothness of the car flipping and the efficiency of unloading, so the stability and durability of the hydraulic system need to be ensured when choosing.
4、Materials
Common materials are usually Q345 and T700. Q345 has better ductility and is suitable for transporting heavy objects; while T700 has higher yield strength and is suitable for scenarios that require higher transportation efficiency. Choose the material that suits you according to the type of transported materials and the use environment.
Consider the type of materials you want to transport. If you carry heavy equipment, a flatbed made of Q345 may be a better choice due to its strength. However, if fuel efficiency and lighter weight are more important to your business, then a T700 flatbed trailer may be worth the investment.
5、Painting method
There are two main types of semi-trailer painting processes:
1. Traditional spray painting: Its advantages are simple process and low cost, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The paint surface has poor adhesion and is easy to fall off. The construction thickness is also difficult to reach the standard thickness. Spraying is prone to dead corners and flow marks on the paint surface, which is not beautiful.
2. Electrophoretic powder spraying paint: Electrophoretic coating not only has strong adhesion, but also the whole vehicle is soaked in the electrophoretic tank, spraying without dead angles, strong anti-rust ability, can effectively protect the steel structure of the frame, and is more durable. Not only is the paint surface beautiful, without flow marks, it is not easy to fall off, it protects the inner structure from rust and corrosion for a long time, and the protected parts are not easily worn out, requiring less maintenance.
6、Maintenance and after-sales service
After-sales service is equally important when choosing a good rear dump trailer. Make sure the manufacturer you choose provides complete after-sales service, such as regular inspections, repairs, and parts replacement, which will help you reduce maintenance costs and downtime in later operations.
Application scenarios of dump trailers :
Dump semi-trailers have a wide range of application scenarios, especially in the following areas:
1、Construction Industry
In the construction industry, dump trailers are often used to transport construction materials such as sand, stone, concrete, etc. Since construction materials are heavy and bulky, dump trailers are very suitable for the needs of this industry due to their strong load-bearing capacity and fast unloading.
2、Mining Transportation
Materials such as ore and coal are usually very heavy and need to be transported to mining areas far away from urban areas. The use of self-unloading semi-trailers can not only carry a large amount of ore, but also reduce unloading time and improve transportation efficiency by turning over the unloading.
3、Agricultural Transportation
In agricultural transportation, dump trailers are mainly used to transport grain, fertilizer, agricultural products, etc. The unloading speed of agricultural products is required to be fast, especially in the harvest season, so the use of dump trailers can effectively improve work efficiency.
4、Trash removal and waste disposal
Dump trailers are also commonly used to transport construction waste, domestic garbage, etc. These materials are usually dirty and need to be processed quickly. The rear design facilitates quick unloading and can effectively improve the efficiency and safety of transportation.
