ZW Manufacturing Excellence: Precision Production Process
ZW Group adheres to a stringent, multi-stage production protocol to guarantee the highest quality and safety standards for every container flatbed semi-trailer. Our facility utilizes state-of-the-art automated machinery for precision manufacturing.
Quality Assurance: Load Testing and Inspection
Quality is the cornerstone of the ZW Group. Every 5-Axle Flatbed Semi-Trailer undergoes rigorous quality checks before leaving the factory.
Dynamic and Static Load Testing
Our trailers are subjected to simulated overload and stress tests that exceed the maximum rated capacity. This static load test ensures the main beam and suspension system can safely handle extreme weights without permanent deformation. Dynamic tests are also performed to evaluate the trailer's behavior under driving conditions, including severe braking and cornering.
Critical Component Inspection
Welding Integrity: Non-destructive testing (NDT) is used to inspect key stress-point welds (e.g., kingpin, main beam joints) for internal defects.
Axle Alignment: Precision laser alignment tools verify that all 5 axles are perfectly parallel and perpendicular to the main beam, crucial for reducing rolling resistance and tire wear.
Braking Performance: The pneumatic brake system is fully pressure-tested and calibrated, ensuring the WABCO valve and air chambers deliver reliable, synchronized braking across all axles.
Paint Thickness & Adhesion: The multi-layer paint finish is electronically tested to verify the specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) and adhesion strength for guaranteed anti-corrosion performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary advantage of a 5-axle flatbed over a standard tri-axle (3-axle) model?
A: The 5-axle configuration allows for a much higher legal payload capacity by distributing the weight more effectively across the trailer, which is crucial in regions or countries with strict axle load limits and Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) regulations.
Q2: Is the front plate (headboard) removable?
A: While the front headboard is a permanent, welded safety feature on our standard model for maximum rigidity and safety, we can offer a bolt-on or semi-removable design upon special request, depending on specific regulatory or operational needs.
Q3: Can this trailer transport both 40ft and 20ft containers?
A: Yes. Our trailer is equipped with 12 sets of ISO-standard twist locks strategically placed to securely lock 1x40ft, 1x45ft, or 2x20ft containers simultaneously.
Q4: What kind of steel is used for the main structure, and why?
A: We primarily use Q345B and Q700 high-tensile structural steel. These materials offer superior strength, rigidity, and weldability compared to standard carbon steel, which allows us to build a more durable trailer with a relatively lighter tare weight, directly translating to an increased usable payload.
Q5: What is the standard warranty on the ZW Group flatbed trailer?
A: ZW Group typically offers a 2-year warranty on the main beam structure and a standard warranty of 6 to 12 months on key components like the axles and landing gear. Full warranty details are provided at the time of purchase.
Q6: Can the suspension be upgraded to Air Suspension?
A: Absolutely. While our standard model features robust mechanical leaf spring suspension, we offer Air Suspension systems as an upgrade.
Air suspension provides a smoother ride, which is ideal for transporting sensitive cargo, and allows for easier height adjustment (lifting/lowering).
