In the realm of global goods transportation, the demand for reliable and high-performance motor vehicles for the transport of goods is ever-growing. China, as a leading manufacturer of trucks and related vehicles, has been making significant strides in providing top-notch solutions. This article focuses on a 60-ton 3-axle dump semi-trailer, custom-made for a Saudi Arabian client, which exemplifies the excellence of Chinese truck manufacturing.

Vehicle Overview

This dump semi-trailer is a prime example of a goods vehicle designed for heavy-duty tasks. As a type of semi-trailer, specifically an articulated trailer, it plays a crucial role in the efficient transport of large quantities of goods. When it comes to classification, it can be categorized as a lorry or a diesel truck (though the power source of the towing vehicle determines if it's a diesel truck).

Key Design and Performance Features

Tire and Load-Bearing Capacity

The trailer uses 315/80R22.5 tires (6 + 1 sets). Although they are single tires, their wide design not only prevents sand from entering – a vital feature for the sandy environment in Saudi Arabia – but also provides better load-bearing capacity, enabling the trailer to handle the 60-ton loading capacity with ease.

Durable Steel Structure

The entire vehicle adopts T700 steel, a high-strength and wear-resistant material. The upper wing plate is 10mm thick, the middle plate is 5mm thick, the lower wing plate is 12mm thick, the bottom is 6mm thick, and the side is 4mm thick. This design ensures that the trailer won't be scratched by stones and sand, greatly extending its service life, which is particularly important for transporting abrasive materials.

Paint and Corrosion Resistance

The paint surface of the trailer adopts a two-component paint design. Compared with ordinary paint, it has stronger corrosion resistance and a harder surface, which can effectively resist the corrosion of the harsh environment and maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the vehicle for a long time.

Air Suspension System

One of the most notable features is the adoption of an air suspension system that can be lifted and lowered. This not only allows the height of the vehicle to be adjusted according to different road conditions and loading requirements but also ensures an excellent shock absorption effect. During transportation, it can reduce the bumping of the vehicle, preventing sand and gravel from spilling, which is of great significance for ensuring the safety and efficiency of goods transportation.
