Flat Bed Semi Trailers

This 4-axle Flat Bed Semi Trailers measures 12.5 x 2.5 x 1.6 meters and boasts a rated load capacity of 50 tons; it is specifically designed for transporting containers and bulk cargo. The chassis is equipped with 12 twist locks, allowing for the flexible loading of 20-foot and 40-foot containers, as well as various container combinations. It is widely used in settings such as port terminals, railway freight yards, intermodal transport hubs, and logistics parks.

Products Details

Container Twist Locks

Conical metal protrusions located along the edges and at the four corners of the Flat Bed Semi Trailers deck serve as twist-lock mechanisms designed to secure standard containers (such as 20-foot or 40-foot units).

Reflective Tape

Red-and-white 3M reflective tape is applied to the sides of the vehicle body to enhance safety during night driving or in low-visibility conditions.

Tires

Hubs and Rims: Standard silver-painted steel truck rims; the central valve stems are clearly visible for easy tire pressure checks.
Tread Pattern: A hybrid tread design combining deep longitudinal grooves with transverse pitch elements (typically for drive-axle or all-position use), providing excellent traction, wear resistance, and water drainage/anti-slip capabilities.

Multi-Axle and Dual-Tire Configuration

The vehicle features a 4-axle (8-wheel-group) configuration with dual tires mounted on each side of every axle (dual-wheel setup), totaling 16 tires. This multi-axle design effectively distributes the weight of the vehicle and cargo, increases load-bearing capacity, and ensures compliance with highway axle-load regulations.

 

01

Rear Underride Guard

Its primary function is to prevent passenger cars from sliding underneath the truck in the event of a rear-end collision, thereby protecting the occupants.

02

Integrated LED Tail Lights

Turn signals, brake/position lights, and reverse lights are housed within protective metal grilles, effectively preventing physical damage from reversing impacts, flying debris, or cargo loading/unloading operations.

03

Optimized Layout

Heavy-duty axles, brake chambers, and leaf-spring suspension systems are arranged in a compact, high-clearance layout that offers impact protection and uniform force distribution, resulting in a more stable and safer ride.

Equalizer Beam Bracket

Features: Welded from thickened steel plate; features a large-diameter central pivot pin connecting the front and rear leaf spring assemblies.
Benefits: Balances loads between axles, prevents single-axle overloading, and ensures greater stability when driving over rough roads.

The Flat Bed Semi Trailers is primarily suitable for:

• Container transfer operations at ports and terminals, including short-haul transport between the wharf, container yards, and warehouses.
• Road-based container connections at railway freight stations, as well as the road transport segments of multimodal logistics (sea-land or rail-land).
• Non-containerized transport of bulk heavy cargo, such as steel, timber, stone, and construction machinery.
• Container distribution within large logistics parks, as well as on-site transport of heavy equipment and prefabricated components for construction projects.

1. Q: Can it carry two 20-foot containers simultaneously?
A: Yes. The 12-twist-lock layout supports the simultaneous loading of two 20-foot containers or a single 40-foot container.

2. Q: Which is better: mechanical suspension or air suspension?
A: Mechanical suspension features a simple structure, easy maintenance, and lower costs, making it suitable for heavy loads and poor road conditions. Air suspension offers superior shock absorption, making it ideal for transporting sensitive cargo; customers can choose based on their specific needs.

3. Q: Is regular maintenance required?
A: Yes. We recommend inspecting critical components-such as the braking system, tires, twist locks, and landing gear-every 10,000 kilometers or every three months.

4. Q: Can it be used without containers?
A: Yes. With its flatbed structure and the use of tensioners or anchor points, it can directly transport bulk cargo like steel, equipment, and timber without requiring containers.

5. Q: Is the kingpin included as standard?
A: Yes, the kingpin is part of the standard configuration; customers can choose between 2-inch (50#) and 3.5-inch (90#) specifications based on their tractor unit requirements.

6. Q: What is the delivery time?
A: Standard configurations typically take 15–30 days; delivery times for customized configurations depend on specific requirements. 

7. Q: Is a warranty provided?
A: Yes, standard warranty service is provided. The warranty period for the frame structure is typically 1–3 years, while wear-and-tear parts (such as brake pads and tires) are covered according to industry standards; please contact us for specific details.
