Car Transporter:Economical, Practical, Zero Abrasion, High Capacity
Possessing great potential in the industries of transportation.
Why car transporter?
With the development of automobile industry and the expansion of auto sales industries, many customers demands that the cars should be sold with under brand new condition without a single kilometer on it. Which contributes various car transporters emerging into the market of special vehicle market. Car transporter is a kind of commercial vehicle used for transporting all kinds of cars such as luxurious automobile, jeep, microvan from the manufacturer to auto dealerships. The carrying capacity is depending on the car size and trailer model.
Advantages of car transporter
-
Economical and practical
One car transporter can carry more cars, which lowering the transportation cost, saving the transportation time and improving economic efficiency
-
Zero abrasion
-
Large capacity
Car transporter is composed of two parts
Car transporter is composed of two parts, tractor unit and car carrier trailer.
A car carrier trailer, known variously as a car hauler, auto transport trailer, etc., is a type of trailer or semi-trailer designed to transport commercial vehicles efficiently. Modern car carrier trailers can be open or enclosed. Most commercial trailers have built-in ramps for loading and off-loading cars, as well as power hydraulics to raise and lower ramps for stand-alone accessibility.
car carrier trailers aren't equipped with loaders or winches, instead of relying on the vehicles to be loaded under their own power. The trailer hydraulics allow the ramps to be aligned on a slope so cars can be driven up and secured to the ramp floor with chains, tie-down ratchets or wheel straps, after which the ramp can be tilted in any direction to optimize stacking.
Different types of car carrying trailer
According to the axle structure:
-
Double axles and double tire
This kind of semi trailers adopts double axle structure, each side of the axle with two tires. The chassis is comparatively higher and the quantity of the tires doubles. It can be used for loading heavy vehicles owning to the favorable bearing capacity.
-
Double axles and single tire
Different from ordinary semi trailers, this type of semi trailers is installed with double rear axle structure, and each side is equipped with a tire. Lower bed above axle tube makes the lower bed close to the ground. The lower of the chassis make more space for stowing more cars.
-
Single axle and double tire
It is designed with single rear axle structure, each side of the axle is equipped with two tires, the lower loading platform above the tire and the chassis is relatively higher. Only suitable for transporting cars and pickup trucks because the space is small. In order to prompt universality, central part of the chassis is designed as underneath concave form.
According to the van box structure.
Like other semi-trailers, most commercial car carrier trailers are attached to the tractors. Trailers can either be enclosed, possessing walls like a conventional box trailer, which affords the shipped vehicles more protection at the cost of lower capacity; or open, as in the commonly seen skeletal tube steel design, which exposes the vehicles to the elements but allows for greater carrying capacity. Open commercial car carrier trailers typically have a double-decker design, with both decks subdivided into a number of loading and storage ramps that can be tilted and lifted independently of one another with hydraulics. Car transporter can be semi-closed as well, its characteristics lies in between the first two types. In other words, it can be divided into skeleton-type, semi-closed type, totally enclosed type .
Main structure of car carrier
The structure of car carrier is generally divided into upper chassis, lower chassis, side piece, front piece, back door, top plate, accessories, hydraulic system, suspension system, braking system, electrical system, supporting device, the wheel hub of the cooling system.
Car carrying trailer typically has a double-decker design. The upper load deck can lift up and down with the lifting device to load the car. Lifting device can be classified into hydraulic oil cylinder lifting type, the pulley rope pull lift, chain hanging type in accordance with different requirements.
As for the double axle with single tire type, the manual gang boards both in the left and right are designed in the position of goose step of the front chassis, and pumping ladder, crawling ladder at the stern of the trailers.
In order to prevent the bounce of the upper chassis, the upper chassis and the lower chassis should be connected by using the euphroe.
How to limit and fasten the cars on car transporter?
After loading commercial vehicles, it is urgent to limit and fasten the vehicles to prevent the bounce of the cars in the process of driving, ensuring the safety of vehicles and transporters.
Two ways to fasten the vehicles
-
Wheel fixed method
Using car tire limit frame and car tire tension lever to fasten the tires, prevent the commercial vehicle moving forward and backward. Limit frame is design with standard steel tube structure, and the hook fix two adjacent holes of the perforated plate.
-
Frame fixed method
Frame fixed method refers the pattern of fixing the frame of commercial cars and the frame of car transporters, preventing the cars boggling during the process of driving. This method should be used when the space between the top of the commercial car and the upper chassis, or the headlining is comparatively small. Users can adopt this method according to their needs.
conclusion
Car transporters are commonly used to ship new cars from the manufacturers to the auto dealers. The demands of the quantity is increasing year by year owning to the expanding auto industries, especially in the developing countries. Car transporter production has great potential in the future and there is still a big demand of car transporters.
