The 6-axis hydraulic gooseneck low-platform trailer is a specialized heavy-duty transport vehicle designed for carrying oversized and heavy equipment with enhanced stability and flexibility. Here are its key features and specifications:
Structural Design
- Gooseneck Connection: The front section features a hydraulic gooseneck that allows for automatic height adjustment, enabling seamless connection and disconnection with the tractor unit. This design also facilitates loading and unloading by lowering the platform height when needed.
- Low Platform: The cargo deck height is minimized, typically not exceeding 1,150mm from the ground, which enhances transport stability and allows for passage through low-clearance areas. The platform is often constructed with a concave beam frame, featuring a gooseneck at the front, a cargo platform in the middle, and a wheel frame at the rear, without side panels for easier loading of large items.
- Axle Configuration: Equipped with six axles, this trailer provides superior load distribution and traction, enabling it to carry loads up to 120 tons or more, depending on the specific design and requirements. The axles are often arranged in a triple-line or multi-axle setup to further enhance stability and weight-bearing capacity.
Hydraulic System
- The hydraulic gooseneck allows for precise height adjustment, making it easier to connect with different types of tractor units and adapt to various loading conditions. Some models may also feature hydraulic lifting systems for the cargo platform, enabling quick and efficient loading and unloading of heavy equipment.
Applications
This type of trailer is widely used in industries such as construction, mining, and energy for transporting heavy machinery, large-scale equipment, and steel structures. Its low center of gravity and high stability make it ideal for carrying irregularly shaped or oversized cargo that cannot be easily transported by standard trailers.
