A tilt semi-trailer (tilt semi-trailer) is a loading platform with a fixed front wall, hinged sides on the sides and either a hinged side or a hinged door at the back. The awning frame consists of racks installed on the sides of the semi-trailer and connected by crossbars. The awning, which is made of translucent material, is stretched over these crossbars. Awning semi-trailers are universal and distinguished by high strength and reliability. They provide easy fastening and transportation of goods packed in boxes, containers, rolled material, etc., that is, all goods of standard dimensions that require protection from dust, high humidity and direct sunlight.
Curtain semi-trailer (curtain semi-trailer) attracts with its design features. As a rule, it does not have sides, thereby ensuring the ease of loading and unloading operations and the transportation of long indivisible loads. Also, the absence of sides reduces the own weight of the semi-trailer and increases its payload. Plus, you can move the top plane of the roof and the side parts separately. In the field of freight transportation, this type of semi-trailer is usually used in a two- or three-axle version. However, today there are also small models with a one-wheel base. They are suitable for transporting light loads, used in cases where the use of a full-size semi-trailer is irrational.
