Load trail trailers are common universal equipment for short-distance material transportation in the industrial field. By cooperating with power equipment such as tractors, forklifts, or AGVs, load trail trailers realize efficient transportation of various materials including spare parts, semi-finished products, turnover boxes, and tooling equipment. Widely used in factory workshops, warehousing and logistics, chemical parks, ports and terminals, these vehicles are the basic guarantee equipment for improving industrial logistics efficiency and reducing labor costs.
Compared with special-purpose transfer equipment (such as mold transfer vehicles), load trail trailers have core advantages of “universal adaptation, low cost, and easy collaboration”. Without an independent power system, load trail trailers rely on various traction equipment. They can be equipped with different bearing structures such as forks, flatbeds, railings, and boxes on the vehicle body according to material characteristics, adapting to material transfer needs ranging from a few kilograms to dozens of tons. load trail trailers are one of the most widely used transfer tools in industrial scenarios.
1.Strong universal adaptability: Support rapid docking with multiple power equipment such as forklifts, tractors, and AGVs. The bearing structure of load trail trailers can be customized into flatbed, fenced, box-type, hydraulic lifting type, etc., adapting to various materials such as turnover boxes, pallets, large workpieces, and liquid barrels to meet the needs of different industries.
2.Capable of carrying hundreds of tons of heavy objects with low cost: The load-bearing range is from several hundred kilograms to more than 50 tons. Medium and small load-bearing models have low procurement costs and no complex power system. Later maintenance only needs to focus on wearing parts such as tires and traction mechanisms, and the operation and maintenance cost is much lower than that of special-purpose transfer vehicles.
3.Flexible, convenient and easy to operate: Compact body design with a minimum turning radius of 2-4 meters, enabling flexible passage in narrow workshop channels and between shelves. Some models are equipped with power steering devices, saving time and effort during manual traction, allowing new employees to get started quickly.
4.Safe, reliable and easy to manage: Equipped with safety structures such as traction pin locking devices, service brakes, and parking brakes. Some high-end models are equipped with buffer anti-collision strips and reflective warning signs. They can be configured in batches and standardized, facilitating unified management and scheduling by enterprises.
Load trail trailers come in a variety of types, which can be accurately selected according to operational needs. The core classifications include:
- Flatbed load trail trailers: The most universal type with a flat and unobstructed platform. Suitable for transporting palletized goods, large workpieces, equipment accessories, etc., and can be equipped with straps to fix materials. Widely used for connecting workshop processes.
- Fenced load trail trailers: Equipped with foldable or detachable railings to prevent turnover boxes and scattered materials from falling. Suitable for transporting sorted goods in warehousing and logistics, and handling small parts in workshops.
- Hydraulic lifting load trail trailers: Equipped with a hydraulic lifting system, the platform can be lifted 0.3-2 meters, facilitating docking with shelves and production lines of different heights, reducing the number of material loading, unloading and handling operations, and improving efficiency.
- Special load trail trailers: Including explosion-proof type (for flammable and explosive scenarios such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries), corrosion-resistant type (for electroplating and chemical industries), and large-load-bearing type (for ports and heavy-duty workshops), with scenario-specific characteristics.
- Manufacturing workshops: Cooperate with forklifts to transport spare parts and tooling fixtures required by production lines, realizing seamless connection between “process – temporary storage area – production line”with load trail trailers.
- Warehousing and logistics: Complete the transfer of goods from the sorting area to the inbound and outbound ports in the warehouse, or cooperate with AGVs to realize unmanned material handling via load trail trailers.
- Chemical parks: Use explosion-proof load trail trailers to transport chemical raw material barrels and reagent boxes to meet safe operation requirements.
- Ports/terminals: Large-load-bearing trailers cooperate with tractors to transport containers and large equipment accessories, assisting in completing the loading and unloading process.
