GO BACK TO THE AREA OF OTHERSInvention entitled ‘Four-axle container trailer, especially for on-road transport of ISO-series containers’ (Pat.233088/P.420482)
Description:
The object of the invention is a four-axle container trailer, especially for on-road transport of ISO-series containers. The structure comprises two bogies connected to each other by ties, each of which has two road axles mounted in the axle suspension and guidance sub-assemblies, as well as a drawbar and a steering pivot, characterized in that the frame of the front bogie is a combination of two stringers, two cross- beams and a centre beam, whereby on the upper surface of the front bogie frame the sliding plates of the clamping plate support are mounted, and in the centre beam a sleeve for swivel fixing of the clamping plate in the front bogie frame is embedded. From the bottom surface of the front bogie frame extend the mounting brackets for the pneumatic bellows of the suspension, while in the central zone of the front bogie frame are the mounting brackets for the road axle guide. The cross beams of the front bogie frame have drawbar fixing brackets, with the fixing plate incorporating a backing plate and standard container fixing pivots.
Benefits:
- The trailer makes it possible to transport long and heavy objects, allowing to minimize costs associated with the completion of the container transport system,
- The use of an agricultural tractor in combination with a trailer provides the required maneuverability in an area with particularly limited space and at the same time eliminates the overlap of the rear driving axle beyond the edge of the traffic route,
- Low unladen weight and the ability to move on surfaces with significant unevenness.
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent Pat.233088 granted by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, in force from 9 February 2017.
Property rights to the invention are vested 100% in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology.
