Heavy-cargo transport:

Some companies specialize in transporting heavy cargo from one destination to another. Such companies serve clients who need to transport heavy loads a few times in a year.

The manufacturers also require transport solutions to transport the fully-assembled equipment to the clients or warehouse. The goldhofer multi axle trailer can be customized to transport any cargo as long as it is well packaged.

Construction Industry:

The construction of bridges, large buildings and roads also require the use of modular trailers. Big bridge segments and large girders are placed onto the modular trailers from the construction sites.

Construction companies usually have projects located in different areas. Modular hydraulic trailer help in the transportation of the already built sections to places where they will be installed and at the same time shift materials and equipment from one project to another. 

Chemical industry construction:

The chemical industry also requires special transportation multi axle trailer to move heavy raw materials, equipment, and finished products.

Setting up the manufacturing sites requires the companies to transport heavy and long tubes, cylindrical tanks, and metallic beams among other parts. In most cases, the parts are purchases from other assembly companies and transported to the chemical production sites.

Ship Building Industry:

Ships and ship sections are normally huge and bulky. You can imagine how the construction of the big ships you see transporting goods and people across seas is done.

Modular trailers become very useful in the movement of ship sections to assembly halls and the entire ship to the sea. Ships are normally very heavy weighing up to thousands of tones.

The biggest ships will need goldhofer spmt with over 200 axle lines. On some occasions, the placement of the axles is done side by side to help in carrying long and wide ship sections.

Different models of multi axle trailer

Multi axles trailers are of two general types: The Low bed trailer and the modular trailer.

Typically, a multi axle trailer has a group of axles that are disposed remotely from the point of steering of the vehicle.

Trailer axles that are used for carrying the ground wheels are normally carried on springs or bogies that engage appropriate bearing members on the vehicle chassis and including a rocker to make it possible for the weight supported by the axles to be accurately distributed in reference to the frame of the trailer.

It is required to use radius arms in such assemblies between the brackets and axles engaged through the springs. The radius arms are use to keep the axles in desired operating positions with reference to the frames of the trailer.

Based on their shape and construction, the multi axle trailer can take different forms:

Flatbed model:

It offers a low loading height hence ensuring that maximum-height goods are sufficiently loaded. It includes the use of brand components. It is a good option for a long service life and is also recommended for use due to its high availability.

Low Loader Model:

This model has a small height difference between the bridge and bogie. It is ideal for loads with an overhang and is suitable for high payloads. The multi axle low bed trailer has a high axle suspension, a large steering angle and sensational maneuverability.

Extendable model:

The extendable model version is suitable for very long rotor blades and is commonly used in wind power generation industry to transport wind plant blade.

The extendable model apparatus is a combination of a fixed frame and a frame that is slid-ably linked to the fixed frame and can be moved relative to the fixed frame structure for shortening and lengthening the apparatus of the trailer.

The movable frame at the back of the trailer has wheels and an axle onto which they are secured allowing the load to be safely secured on the fixed framed.

The two frames can move to allow adjustments for the load weight on the trailer axles together with the axles secured firmly to the fixed part of the trailer with the axles also secured on the movable frame.
