Manufacturing Process
Design & Engineering – We begin with 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks / AutoCAD) to verify structural stresses, weight balance, and road regulation compliance.
Material Preparation – High-tensile steel beams are laser-cut and CNC pre-processed for superior precision.
Surface Treatment – Steel units undergo shot-blasting and acid-washing to remove impurities before primer and top-coat painting.
Chassis Assembly & Welding – Skilled welders perform MIG/TIG welding with reinforcements and gussets for maximum rigidity.
Axle & Suspension Installation – Precision fitting of beam axles, leaf springs or air suspension, and brake systems; pressure-testing for leaks.
Lighting & Safety Feature Installation – Add lighting, reflective tape, underride guards, and locking mechanisms.
Quality Inspection – Non-destructive testing (NDT), weld inspection, alignment checks, and structural integrity assessments.
Load Testing – Simulated and live testing (see section below).
Final Touches & Packaging – Protective film, shrink-wrap, wooden crating for critical components, and labelling.
Packaging & Shipping
Protective Measures – Key components like landing gear and suspension are wrapped in protective film. Exposed areas are covered to prevent dust and weather damage.
Trailer Preparation – Delivered with minimal assembly required; tires inflated, lights tested, and fluid levels checked.
Crating – Small components (e.g., bolts, ABS modules, cylinders) are crated in a wooden box and fixed inside the flatbed for secure transport.
Containerization Option – Flatpacks available for highly compact shipping.
Drawings
While full engineering drawings are protected IP, we provide the following for clients:
General Arrangement (GA) Drawing – Shows side and top views with dimensions, axle placement, landing gear, and lighting layout.
Structural Section Details – Cross-sectional diagrams of chassis beams, weld joints, and gusset placements.
Suspension & Axle Layout – Schematic of leaf-spring axle arrangement or air bag assembly.
Braking Circuit Diagram – Pneumatic flow and ABS valve schematics.
Twist-Lock Configuration – Positions and types of container locking mechanisms.
Clients may request PDF or CAD files (DWG/DXF/SolidWorks) under NDA, with production lead time estimations..

FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum payload capacity?
A: Generally up to approximately 32,000–33,000 kg, subject to regional road weight limits and local regulations. Custom capacities are available.
Q2: Can I get air suspension instead of leaf springs?
A: Yes. Air ride is available as an option for smoother operation, especially on uneven road surfaces.
Q3: What braking systems are offered?
A: Standard pneumatic dual-line brakes. ABS, EBS, or disc brakes can be added based on customer preference.
Q4: Can I request modifications (e.g., different paint, branding, additional accessories)?
A: Absolutely. Custom paint, branding, hydraulic landing gear, and spare wheel carriers are available.
Q5: What certifications does this trailer meet?
A: We can meet ISO container transport standards, regional road regulations (e.g., EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval, DOT, ADR) upon customer specification.
Q6: How long is the delivery lead time?
A: Typically 6–8 weeks after deposit and final drawing approval, depending on order volume and customization.
