Chapter 2. Advantage of TITAN low bed trailer

1. Main Beam

The main beam of TITAN low bed truck trailer is made of Q460C high strength structural steel. Q460C steel has a yield strength of ≥620Mpa, which is more durable and stronger than ordinary steel. Its bearing capacity is 5 times that of the trailer made of Q345 steel.

TITAN low bed trailer main baem adopts a height of 500mm and a thickness of 14mm. The thickness of upper plate is 22mm, the thickness of lower plate is 22mm and the width of upper and lower plate is 220mm.

Other factories use Q345 steel main beam for the low bed truck trailer. The width of the upper and lower plates is 140mm. The load-bearing capacity of the frame is 27% lower than that of TITAN.

Chapter 4. What is the main advantage of a low bed trailer over a flat bed?

Low bed truck trailers are widely used in different fields due to their advantages over a flat bed. The main advantages are summarized below.

Low bed truck trailer provide companies with a solution to safely transport ultra-high equipment without breaking the law.

Versatility

One of the reasons why many companies buy low bed trailers is that they are so versatile. The structure of the low bed trailer allows the company to easily transport such a wide cargo. Keep in mind that trailers can also handle ultra-high cargo.

In most cases, heavy machinery and equipment are very wide. A company that handles different types of goods does not need to buy different trailers for each category. As long as the goods are packaged correctly, the low bed truck trailer can transport any type of goods.

Stability

Compared with flat bed trailer, low bed trailer’s deck is excellent. A lower deck means a lower center of gravity. Therefore, low bed truck is more stable than trailers when transporting heavy goods.

One way to increase stability is to expand the support base. For low bed trailers, this is possible because the width of the cargo plane can be widened. Regardless of the height and weight of the cargo, the trailer can remain stable on the road.
