3-Axle Flatbed Semi-trailer

3-Axle Flatbed Semi-trailer

The 3-Axle Flatbed Semi-trailer is a mainstay transportation equipment in ports, trunk logistics, and engineering construction, suitable for transporting 40ft/20ft containers, steel, prefabricated components, construction machinery, and other large/heavy cargo. It adopts a high-strength manganese steel frame and a three-axle balanced load-bearing design, possessing four core advantages: high load capacity, lightweight, strong stability, and easy loading and unloading. It can be matched with 4×2/6×4 tractor units and is widely used in cross-border logistics, port transshipment, infrastructure projects, and steel mill transportation scenarios.

3-Axle Flatbed Semi-trailer | Product Details (For Export/Domestic Sales)

 

Products Description

 

Frame and Load-Bearing Structure

  • Main Beam: Made of Q345B/T700 high-strength steel, web height 500mm, automatically submerged arc welding, resistant to torsion and fatigue, designed load capacity 40–60 tons.
  • Floor: 3mm anti-slip patterned steel plate, reinforced with dense crossbeams to prevent cargo slippage; optional 4mm thickened wear-resistant plate.
  • Longitudinal Beams: Straight beam/gooseneck design, through-type crossbeams for even load distribution, adaptable to heavy loads and complex road conditions.

 

Axles and Running Gear

  • Axles: 3×13-ton heavy-duty axles (FUWA/BPW/top domestic brands optional), maintenance-free axle ends, long oil change interval design.
  • Suspension: Standard tandem leaf spring balance suspension, three axles simultaneously stressed for stable driving; optional air suspension for better shock absorption and cargo protection.
  • Tires: 12R22.5 tubeless tires (12 tires), low rolling resistance, wear-resistant; optional 385/65R22.5 wide tires for larger contact area and greater stability under heavy loads.
  • Wheels: Steel wheels; optional aluminum alloy wheels for lightweight and better heat dissipation.

Towing and Support System

  • Towing Pin: 90# Jost standard towing pin, compatible with mainstream tractor units, wear-resistant, and easy to disassemble.
  • Outriggers: 28-ton linkage hydraulic outriggers (FUWA/domestic), smooth lifting and stable parking support.

 

Braking and Electrical System

  • Braking: WABCO dual-circuit air brake, standard ABS anti-lock braking; optional EBS electronic braking system for more precise braking and rollover prevention.
  • Electrical: 24V standard circuit, 7-pin/15-pin socket; LED high-brightness taillights, side marker lights, reflective markings, compliant with national/European standards.

 

Container Securing Equipment

  • Standard configuration includes 12 high-strength telescopic twist locks, capable of securing 1×40ft, 1×20ft, or 2×20ft standard containers.
  • Side: Dense rope hooks/tightening devices for easy bundling of bulk cargo, steel, etc.

Operation and Maintenance Guidelines

 

  • Pre-departure Inspection: Check tire pressure and wear, brake air pressure and line sealing; check outboard leg locking status and towing pin tightness; confirm the rotary lock is in place and the lights and signals are normal.
  • Loading Specifications: Containers must be locked with four locks; loose cargo should be evenly distributed with the center of gravity centered; unbalanced loading and overloading are strictly prohibited; large items must be reinforced with rope tensioners/wire ropes to prevent slippage.
  • Driving Precautions: Keep speed below 90 km/h at high speeds; avoid sudden steering and emergency braking; reduce speed in advance on long downhill slopes, use brakes appropriately to prevent brake fade; drive slowly on complex road conditions, avoiding large potholes and obstacles.
  • Routine Maintenance: Check axle bolts and leaf spring U-bolt tightness every 5000 km; replace brake pads and check wheel bearings every 100,000 km; regularly clean mud and sand from the chassis and check weld cracks; in coastal/high-humidity areas, spray rust inhibitor monthly to extend service life.
