Flatbed trailer is usually used to transport 20ft or 40ft containers, they are mainly used for container transportation supporting ships, ports, shipping lanes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport. Flatbed trailer is a kind of trailer whose design is suitably made to carry bulk cargo and containers. Most customers use container shipment, which has low transportation cost and short transportation time. TITAN flatbed trailer can be customized according to the different requirements of customers in different countries.
1. In order to connect the traction pin and the traction seat smoothly, the semi-trailer should be in an air-off state.
2. Raise the cantilever bracket so that the flatbed semi trailer traction pin seat plate is about 10-13 mm lower than the center position of the truck traction seat. Otherwise, sometimes not only can not connect, but also damage the traction seat, traction pin and related parts.
3. Open the unlock lever of the traction seat on the forklift, and then open the traction locking mechanism.
4. Rotate the forklift backwards so that the semi-trailer traction pin is guided into the opening of the locking mechanism through the V-shaped opening of the traction seat, and push the locking block to rotate and lock the traction pin.
When reversing, the center line of the truck head and the semi-trailer should be the same. Generally, the offset between two centerlines is limited to less than 40mm. The angle between the two centerlines is limited to 5° at full load and 7° at no load.
5. Connect the gas circuit (connect the truck's gas supply pipe joint to the semi-trailer's gas supply pipe joint, and connect the truck's control pipe joint to the semi-trailer's control pipe joint), turn on the semi-trailer connection disconnect switch on the truck head to Make the trailer get enough air pressure.
6. Connect the circuit, and then insert the wire connection plug of the forklift head into the wire socket of the semi-trailer.
7. Operate the lifting feet correctly to retract them, then pull down the handle and hang it on the hook.
First: Check before you start
1. Whether the tire pressure of the truck head and flatbed trailer is the predetermined value.
2. The air pressure of the spare tire, whether it is correctly installed on the spare tire frame and whether the nut is locked.
Start the engine and observe the barometer in the cab.
3. Press the tractor's handbrake, you will hear an obvious sound of rapid deflation, see the brake cylinder push rod retract, and then release the parking brake.
4. Check whether there is air leakage in the air circuit and whether the brake system is working normally.
5. Check whether the gas lamp works normally and whether the electrical connection is good.
Second: Start
After confirming that all inspections are normal, continue to increase the pressure of the brake system, and then start smoothly according to the operating requirements of the forklift head, and check whether the braking of the entire vehicle is reliable.
Third: Driving
1. Prevent the semi suspension brake system from being used for a long time, avoid the brake system pressure from being too low, and avoid the emergency relay valve from automatically braking the wheels. There is an automatic brake lock.
2. To prevent the brake drum from overheating on long or steep slopes, please use the forklift engine brake device to brake as much as possible.
3. Pay attention to the height limit signs on the road to avoid collision with the equipment on the road.
Fourth: Separate the overhead semi-trailer from the truck head
1. Try to choose a flat and solid ground to separate the semi-trailer from the truck head. If the foundation is soft or the asphalt road is to be separated in summer, a thick plank should be placed on the bottom of the lifting feet to prevent reconnection due to sinking loads.
2. Operate the lifting feet so that the bottom of the lifting feet is on the ground, then shift to a low gear and lift the semi-trailer, leaving a certain gap to leave the forklift head.
3. Unplug the plug from the wire connection socket of the semi-trailer.
4. Turn off the overhead trailer air connection disconnect switch on the truck head, and then change the low speed position to remove the tractor air connector from the flatbed semi trailer.
5. Pull out the traction seat to unlock the lever, thereby opening the locking block.
6. Drive the tractor forward slowly to disengage the traction pin from the traction seat to separate the semi-trailer and the tractor.
7. After separation, check whether all parts of the semi-trailer are abnormal, and loosen the drain valve at the bottom of the cylinder to drain the water in the cylinder.
Fifth: Loading the container
Before loading the high-bed semi-trailer into the container, the used rotary lock head should be completely overlapped with the lock base and fixed. Then place the container correctly on the semi-trailer, and then turn the rotary locking handle to lock the container vertically with the locking head and the locking seat.
Before removing the container, the rotary lock should be turned to the position where the lock head and the lock seat overlap and be fixed. The container can be removed only after confirming that the container is not locked.
