Tractor dump semi-trailer: models PST-6, PST-12 and PTS-12, 1PTS-2, PTS-5 and PST-9

What is a tractor tipper semi-trailer

A tractor tipper semi-trailer is a specialized equipment used for transporting various types of cargo on regular roads and off-road. Basically, the transport of agricultural products or construction materials is carried out.

The rear part consists of wheel axles (often two pairs). This increases the lifting tonnage of the structure.

Purpose

Tipper semi-trailer for tractor is most often used in agriculture. It is characterized by high maneuverability and maneuverability on difficult sections of the road.

Tipper tractor trailers are very convenient for transporting scrap and bulk cargo. To unload such materials, the unit does not require additional equipment. It is necessary to open the side and lift the trailer using a special mechanical lock. Loading is done using additional devices or manually.

Classification

Classification of tractor dump semi-trailers.
Depending on the category, the following types of dump semi-trailers are distinguished.

According to the material:

steel;
aluminum;
consisting of light alloys.

According to the model they are divided into:

dump truck: is in great demand, since unloading is carried out on one side, or on three (two sides, rear);
onboard: for indivisible cargo;
bulk: an analogue of a flatbed semi-trailer, adapted for the transportation of bulk materials.

By type of unloading:

classic: the most popular type (due to ease of use);
side: used if there is a height limitation, as well as for accelerated unloading on uneven areas;
two-sided;
universal.

By the number of its own axles (the fewer axles, the less weight of the unit and the better its maneuverability):

uniaxial;
biaxial;
three-axle (PT-23 “Burlak”);
four-axle.

Design Features

The unit is equipped with brakes, which allows it not to budge when unloading and parking on slopes. With a carrying capacity of fifteen tons, it can accommodate from 23 to 28 tons of cubic meters of building materials. The design is very convenient and allows unloading without lifting the body.

Features of tractor trailers

A tractor-trailer is used to transport goods and materials from one place to another. Of course, they are primarily used in farming and the agricultural industry. For example, it can be used to transport produce from a farm to grocery stores.

The cargo end of a tractor-trailer must have enough engine power to pull a significant amount of cargo. The weight of a trailer can vary greatly depending on what type of cargo it contains. For example, a trailer loaded with empty plastic bottles will weigh much less than a trailer full of bottled water.

The trailer part of a tractor-trailer combination can be one of many designs designed for different purposes. Probably the most common type is the box trailer. Its length can vary from 8.5 to 16 meters. It is completely closed except for a door at the back and sometimes on the sides.

Manufacturers

Tipper tractor semi-trailers are in great demand in our country, so the domestic auto industry is focused on establishing the production of such units.

Tractor dump semi-trailer "KAMAZ".

There are several manufacturers:

The largest truck plant in the Russian Federation is KAMAZ: it produces a three-axle mechanism.
OJSC NefAZ produces a unit with a folding side. It holds about 30 cubic meters and can support up to 33 tons.
The mechanisms of the Chelyabinsk plant are adapted for off-road use. Their designs are equipped with new solutions to increase capacity.
, located in the Moscow region, is a fairly popular enterprise for the production of large-sized equipment in the Russian Federation. Their semi-trailers are often attached to road trains. Designs with lateral unloading are distinguished by greater stability. Trailers are used in low and small spaces and save unloading time.

As for foreign manufacturers, Belarus stands out for its good achievements, producing the MAZ tipper semi-trailer. It is easily distinguished by its bright yellow-orange color.

Poland is famous for Welton semi-trailers. The awning has folding mechanisms, the chassis is triaxial with an unloading tailgate. The Polish company produces more than 60 types of products and constantly modernizes them.

Many factories have their own chains of stores selling large equipment.
