Classification trailers

Semitrailer trucks, eurotent is a universal semi-trailer, which is most commonly used for transporting 20 tons of cargo. The design of such semitrailers allows to remove tent, to remove boards, to remove stands for side loading of long cargoes, and, if necessary, it is possible to disassemble the carcass completely. This makes such type of a body one of the most wide-spread and one of the most in-demand for any city, intercity and international road transportations. The standard capacity is 33 europallets.

Eurotent is a conventional term, which denotes a semitrailer truck, which has dimensions and characteristics, close to the following ones:

• Length – 13.6 m
• Width – 2.45 m
• Height – 2.45 m
• Volume – 82 m3
• Load capacity – 22 tons

Isothermal (insulated) van is designed for transporting materials, which do not require the precise temperature control. The insulated van only maintains the output temperature for a short period of time and cannot ensure its stability during long-time transportation for a long distance. It is necessary to use a refrigerated truck for long-distance transportations.

Refrigerated truck, to be more precise – refrigerated semitrailer – is a transport means, which is equipped with refrigerating plant and is capable to maintain the temperature mode inside the body within the range from + 12 ° C to -20 ° C inclusive.

The mission of refrigerated trucks is to create and maintain the assigned temperature and humidity modes in the refrigerated truck body during storage and transportation of the cargo under the conditions of safe equipment operation.

The refrigerated semitrailers are a necessary link in the non-stop refrigerating chain, which maintains the temperature, required for storing the goods, during its transportation from one link to the other. The automotive refrigerated trucks are especially important for the areas with long distances between the points, where the goods are produced, which require cooling or refrigerating, and the places of their further processing, storage or consumption.

As opposed to the insulated semitrailers with heat insulated bodies, the refrigerated trucks are equipped with the refrigerating plant with the system, which automatically maintains low temperature in the body.

Container semitrailers belong to the class of vehicles, which has a strict functional purpose.

Traditionally container ship means a sea cargo transport, which is designed for transporting cargoes, which have been packed in advance in the special high-capacity boxes, i.e. containers, with a mass from 10 to 40 tons.

However, the cargo destination points as located at a significant distance from container freight stations in the port (terminals) and the containers are transported to the destination by means of special container trucks (container freight station is a place for devanning / loading the containers from the sea container ship to container trucks, they are also designed for empty containers storage, processing and storing containers with the cargo).

Container truck is a semitrailer, a component of truck, which is used for transportation of containers, mostly on highways. The container truck is able to transport not only containers, but any cargo, which can be picked up and attached to the platform.

There are several modifications of container semitrailers: standard container semitrailers and low-frame container semitrailers.

The low-frame container semitrailers (length 12,650 mm, cargo height 1,100 mm, width 2,500 mm) are used for transporting high-capacity dry cargo containers.
