Semi-trailer is a common type of vehicle in long-distance cargo transportation. It has no driving force of its own and needs to be connected to the tractor through a traction pin to use the driving force of the tractor to move.

Semi-trailer is a common type of vehicle in long-distance cargo transportation. It has no driving force of its own and needs to be connected to the tractor through a traction pin to use the driving force of the tractor to move. Semi-trailers transport large volumes and transport a wide variety of goods. Compared with "monocoque" vehicles, they can better improve the comprehensive economic benefits of road transportation.

Semi-trailer axle refers to the axle assembly specially used on semi-trailers. It is a key component of the vehicle chassis. It usually includes accessory accessories such as axles, brakes and suspensions. It is connected to the trailer body through the suspension and is installed at both ends of the axle. The main function of the wheels is to carry the load of the trailer and maintain the normal driving of the vehicle.

The axle is directly related to the load-bearing, braking and driving of the semi-trailer. In order to fully guarantee the attendance rate, safety performance and economic benefits of the semi-trailer during long journeys, it is crucial to choose a high-quality axle. Especially in southwest my country and other places, there are many mountainous roads in long-distance transportation, the terrain is rugged, long and curved ramps are common, and vehicle driving conditions are severe, which puts forward higher requirements for the quality and performance of trailer axles. 

So, what aspects do car owners pay more attention to when purchasing an axle? According to the relevant market research results, the summary is as follows: 

Pursuing lightweight design of axles to reduce dead weight and multiple loading, 

especially after the implementation of the new national standard GB1589, the dead weight of vehicles has become a sensitive issue for car owners. The new national standard GB1589 provides clear standards for the weight limit of trailers with different axle numbers, which has also become the basis for traffic management departments to control overloading. How to reduce the weight of the vehicle itself while meeting the load demand has become a matter of great concern in the industry. 

Relevant data shows that the weight of the three-axle trailer axle accounts for almost 20% of the total weight of the trailer. Therefore, axle weight reduction is a crucial factor in achieving trailer weight reduction. However, compared with other components, it is more difficult to reduce the weight of the axle, because one of the main functions of the axle is load-bearing. If you blindly pursue reducing the weight of the axle but affect the load-bearing performance, you will lose more than you gain. How to achieve lightweight design of the axle while ensuring that the axle's load-bearing capacity remains unchanged or even stronger has become a key research target for domestic and foreign axle companies.

Extend the maintenance cycle to improve operational efficiency. 

In recent years, the logistics and transportation industry has continued to develop, and the mileage of vehicles has also continued to increase. According to relevant research data, the annual driving mileage of semi-trailers for long-distance transportation is generally around 200,000-300,000 kilometers, and some logistics companies with sufficient supply have even more vehicle mileage. Under such high-intensity transportation pressure, vehicle maintenance and upkeep cannot be ignored. 

However, axles are different from other accessories. The workload of maintenance is relatively large and requires certain relevant knowledge and technology. Even if it is sent to a specialized outlet, an average maintenance will take about 2-3 hours, which is very important for car owners. daily use has a greater impact. 

On this basis, extending the maintenance cycle and reducing the difficulty of operation has gradually become an industry trend. 

In response to this phenomenon, Hongkai Axle has launched an axle with a longer maintenance cycle, which effectively reduces the owner's outage time. At the same time, it simplifies the maintenance process, makes the operation steps simpler, and improves operational efficiency. 

Reliable quality + fair price, good reputation among users. 

Nowadays, there are more and more axle manufacturers, and the axle products on the market are also dazzling, ranging from high-end to affordable to small workshop products with three no-frills. 

As there are more products, many car owners’ purchasing concepts have also changed. From the original single demand, such as quality, price, etc., to a focus on comparing the comprehensive quality of products, which requires both high quality and price. Suitable, but also with good service and high product guarantee. This puts forward higher requirements for axle companies. 

As a domestic axle enterprise, Hongkai Axle has experience in axle R&D and manufacturing, integrating R&D, design, production, sales and service. As a generally popular product on the market, Hongkai axles are durable, have long service life, and have excellent strength and toughness properties. They have successfully passed the ISO9001:2015 quality management system certification. Compared with other brands of the same quality, Hongkai axles are more reasonably priced and highly cost-effective, winning widespread praise from users.
