What are the types of trailer axle?

The trailer axle is an important part of the trailer, which directly affects the carrying capacity, driving stability and safety of the vehicle. According to different classification standards, trailer axle can be divided into the following types:

1. Classification according to structural form

Integral axle: The axle housing is an overall structure, with strong rigidity and large carrying capacity, which is common in heavy trailers.

Split axle: axle housing can be separated, suitable for independent suspension system, can improve ride comfort.

2. Classification by function

Steering bridge: Installed on the front of the trailer, it has a steering function to help the trailer turn.

Drive axle: A axle with a drive device (used by all trailers) that provides power.

Support bridge: only supports and carries, without steering and driving functions, most commonly found in semi-trailers.

Lifting bridge: can be lifted by hydraulic or pneumatic system, can be lifted when no load to reduce friction and fuel consumption.

3. Classification by number of axes

Single axle: one axle, carrying capacity is relatively small.

Dual axle: two axle combined use, carrying capacity is larger, more stable driving.

Triple axle: a combination of three axles for super heavy transport.

4.special types of axle

Air suspension axle: The use of air spring suspension system, good shock absorption effect, strong protection of goods.

Disc brake axle: disc brake system, good heat dissipation, more stable braking performance.

Low flat truck bridge: specially used for low flat trailer to reduce the height of the vehicle.

Different types of axle have their own characteristics, and users should choose the right type of axle according to transportation needs, load requirements and road conditions to ensure transportation efficiency and driving safety.
