Car Carrier Semi-Trailer

October 2nd, 2007 by Shenron

The car carrier semi-trailer is used for transporting numerous automobiles at one time. They are usually used for companies who have the ability to manage and deliver large quantities of vehicles from place to place. There are many types of car carrier semi-trailers, open trailers and enclosed trailers. Open trailers are either partially or fully exposed to all of the elements. There are many different types of open trailers, ranging from small three car carriers semi-trailers to the large 11 car carrier semi-trailers that you often see on the Interstate. Enclosed trailers are protected from all of the elements, and your vehicle is basically shipped in a mobile garage. Having your vehicle shipped enclosed is typically a 50-90% premium over having it shipped on an open trailer. Most of the cars can be shipped either on an open trailer or in an enclosed trailer; all of it depends on what you want to pay.

These types of transportations can be dropped off straight to the dealerships, or at any certain garage that can hold the cars. A car carrier semi-trailer has a truck body with a chassis and ad ump frame pivotally disposed on the chassis. The dump frame includes longitudinally extending beams having top and bottom surfaces. A tilting device is connected between the chassis and the dump frame, and a loader carrier platform is slid onto a platform and mounted on the dump frame. The load carrier platform includes longitudinally extending main girders. A slide device is connected between thed ump frame and the load carrying platform for sliding the load carrying platform on the dump frame. Moving pads slide on the beams of the dump frame are fixed to the main girders at longitudinally forward positions on the main girders. The moving pads engage the beams of the dump frame. The fixed pads are longitudinally aligned on and fixed to the top surfaces of the beams of the dump frame at intervals along the beams. The main girders are disposed on the fixed pads, and one of the fixed pads, and one of the fixed pads have a longitudinally rearward position on each of the beams as a side surface that projects laterally from the dump frame and contacts the side surface of the main girders on the car carrier semi-trailer.

Vacuum Tank Trailer

October 2nd, 2007 by Shenron

The standard vacuum tank trailer can be manufactured to any capacity, limited only by axle-loading regulations, on all types of rigid, semi trailer and trailer chassis, on sub-frames, demountable frames, frame less and with any required form of special mounting. The KiloWhale is a vacuum tank trailer that also combines jetting to get a vehicle highly suitable for deep sewer cleaning and maintenance. The Rotovac is ideal for loading liquids containing indeterminate solids, and is known for its positive displacement pump. The articulated vacuum tanker minimizes vehicle weight allowing you to maximize your payload. This vehicle is purpose designed to collect and transport large quantities of both hazardous and non-hazardous liquid wastes. Although these are just few of the many specialized vacuum tank trailers, these are for the hazardous and non-hazardous wastes that are transported.

There are also companies that use vacuum tank trucks to remove collected storm water runoff from curb inlets and underground pipelines in the city’s storm drain infrastructure system. This material is hauled to a de-watering facility and then the water is settled, and filtered. This process can require up to eight loads per month with the vacuum tank trailer. With the purchase of this trailer, one haul tractor can pull this vacuum tank trailer to remove the same amount of water from the de-watering facility in one-third the number of trips and allow the vacuum tank trailers to continue the normal work of cleaning the drainage from the pipelines and inlets. The vacuum tank trailer is equipped with a pump and a pressurized discharge nozzle that will allow this water to also be used to irrigate re vegetated areas as a result of areas disturbed by field crews performing any certain types of maintenance work. There are always different uses for the vacuum tank trailers, and they can be helpful to many employers when thinking of trying to manage anything.

Pneumatic Trailers

October 2nd, 2007 by Shenron

Pneumatic trailers unloading and transfer offers give the following advantages: low capital cost vs. mechanical systems, flexible design and operating parameters, less prone to water incursion and eliminates spurious dusting. Pneumatic trailer systems are best used for unloading rates below 25 tons per hour and when the storage tank can be located in close proximity to the rail unloading point. Two of the basic types of pneumatic trailer unloading packages are vacuum-positive pressure or positive pressure. The vacuum-positive pressure method, which uses a vacuum to puff soda ash from the car to the unit can be used with both the standard gravity discharge rail cars and with rail cars equipped for pneumatic unloading. Annual requirements below 10,000 tons are usually when the pneumatic trailers come along. These trailers are self contained, non-coded pressure units designed to convey the product via a four inch line to the storage container. Pneumatic trailer capacities up to 1600 cubic feet are available, but the delivery is typically controlled by the highway weight limits to 45,000 pounds. These units use a positive displacement rotary blower driven by the power takeoff. A typical delivery of 45,000 pounds takes 1.5 to 2 hours to unload.

The many advantages for the pneumatic trailers are that the trailers make the purchasing of a pneumatic unloading package unnecessary, therefore resulting in equipment cost savings, the unloading operation is normally handled completely by the truck driver, eliminating the need for the user to provide an operator, lead-time from order placement to delivery is minimal so plant inventories can be reduced or changes in production schedules can be more readily accommodated, pneumatic trailer deliveries usually permit a great deal of design flexibility of the storage bin location, the closed positive pressure airveying operation exclude water incursion and eliminates any spurious dusting as stated before.

Lowboy Semi-Trailers

October 1st, 2007 by Shenron

These lowboy semi-trailers are also referred to as a double-drop trailer. This is usually called upon when the shipment height actually matters when transporting certain cargo. The lowboy trailer offers a lot more headroom yet, and like the drop-deck, features a raised front deck, yet the middle part of the trailer known as the “well” can be as low as 22 to 24 inches giving it its shape. Shipment heights for the lowboy trailer allows shipment heights up to 11′6″, loading and unloading could be more difficult depending on the circumstances. The lowboy trailers are not as widely available as standard flatbeds and drop-deck trailers; causing prices for purchasing to increase heavily.

A lowboy trailer has a central storage and/or cargo section. The floor is situated at a lower level than the other floors at the front an drear storage sections. The first lift having upper and lower cargo platforms is located in the central cargo section, and a second lift is located in the rear section. The first lift it positioned so that its lower platform is level with the floor at the front section. Then the cargo is moved through the rear door, passed the rear section, and across the lower storage platform of the first lift and placed on the floor of the front section. If there is any other additional cargo that needs to be shipped it will be moved through the rear door into the second lift and this lift is thereafter raised, permitting this cargo to be placed on the upper storage platform of the lift. Also, any more cargo will be delivered through the rear door and loaded up into the rear section of the lowboy trailer. Hydraulic rams are used to raise the platform in the trailer upwards or downwards, managing which way it goes.
