What To Consider When Choosing a Long Haul Semi-Trailer
Commercial drivers can’t select just any trailer to complete their jobs. All trailer types have different load capacities and features that equip them for various freight.
If you’re hauling tractors, construction equipment, rock trucks, bulldozers, or other oversized machinery, you need a trailer that can handle the weight, transport safely, and load and unload without too much struggle. Let’s go over a few key factors to consider when choosing your trailer from Kingpin:
Durability: Your trailer must be able to support heavy loads, withstand inclement weather, and travel rough roads without compromising its structural integrity.
Load Capacity: For the best performance, you want to choose a trailer that exceeds the requirements for your load. The trailer should accommodate the weight and provide extra support to ensure your load is transported safely and efficiently.
Special Features: Additional features on a trailer can expedite the load and unload process and simplify transport. Features such as hydraulic lifts, jacks, and double axles provide extra support for the equipment’s weight and security during travel.
Safety: Hauling heavy vehicles and mechanical equipment can pose several hazards if your trailer isn’t properly equipped. Components like anti-lock braking systems, secure tie points, and visibility markers help maintain your load’s security and other drivers’ safety.
Loading and Unloading: Some trailers need cranes or forklifts to load heavy equipment, while others have ramps and tilts that allow you to load and unload faster. Choosing the latter can speed up the process and give you extra time on the road!
