Chien You Vietnam – Manufacturing & Distributing Semi-Trailers

What is a semi-trailer?

A semi-trailer is a specialized means of transport used to connect to a tractor, supporting the transport of goods, containers or as a base for tank trailers. This type of vehicle helps optimize load capacity and flexibility in the process of moving goods.

Basic structure of semi-trailer:

A semi-trailer is a non-self-propelled vehicle that is connected to a tractor to transport goods. The structure of a semi-trailer includes the following main parts:

Chassis

• Made of high-strength steel, it is the main skeleton that helps the semi-trailer bear the load of goods.
• There are crossbars and longitudinal bars to increase rigidity and distribute the load evenly.

Axles and Suspension

• Axles: There can be 1 to 3 axles, depending on the type of trailer and load.
• Suspension: Includes mechanical suspension (leaf) or pneumatic suspension to reduce vibration during movement.

Brake system

• Includes air brakes (compressed air brakes), with main components such as brake valves, air tanks, and brake pad systems to ensure safety during operation.

Kingpin

• The part that connects the semi-trailer to the tractor’s towing tray, bearing the main load and traction force.

Landing gear system

• Used to support the semi-trailer when not connected to the tractor. Can be operated manually or automatically.

Deck/Floor

• A flat surface for carrying cargo, usually made of steel, wood or aluminum, depending on the type of trailer.

Cargo box or platform

– Can be:

• Closed box: Used for goods that need protection from the weather.
• Tarp box: Flexible with a variety of goods.
• Flat floor: Suitable for bulky goods, machinery.
• Trailer: Transporting liquids or special goods.

Electrical system

• Includes lighting, signal lights, and wiring connected to the tractor to ensure safety during nighttime operation.

Tire system

• Use double or single tires, ensuring heavy load capacity and stability when moving.

Difference between trailer and semi-trailer

Trailer

• All weight is evenly distributed on the axles and wheels.
• Does not carry any load from the tractor.
• Connected to the tractor by a drawbar or forks.
• More limited turning ability than a semi-trailer.
• Usually used for light vehicles or moving in small areas.

Semi-trailer

• Bearing part of the weight through the tractor.
• Connected to the tractor with a “fifth-wheel” drawbar.
• Easily detached and replaced when needed.
• More flexible turning ability due to the rotating shaft attached directly to the tractor.
• Suitable for long-distance transport, carrying heavy goods or containers.

Chien You Galvanized Semi-Trailer – Durable, Long-lasting Transportation Solution

Hot-dip galvanizing – Optimal Protection Technology

Hot-dip galvanizing is a method of protecting metal surfaces by coating them with a layer of zinc through the process of immersing the metal in a tank of molten zinc. This method helps:

• Superior rust and corrosion resistance, prolonging product life.
• Comprehensive protection even in hard-to-reach locations.
• Save maintenance costs, maintain product quality for a long time.

Under ideal environmental conditions, galvanized coatings can last up to 50 – 60 years. Conversely, in harsh environments such as coastal or humid areas, the lifespan can be reduced to about 10 years but still outperform conventional protection methods.

Why Do Semi-Trailers Need Hot-Dip Galvanizing?

In Vietnam, the hot and humid tropical climate is a factor that reduces the lifespan of the Semi-Trailer frame. There is no method that can optimally replace the galvanizing method for the entire product structure.

When the entire beam frame of the Semi-Trailer is immersed in a zinc tank, all positions on the entire surface of the product are protected by a layer of zinc up to nearly 100 Microns thick. The galvanized beam frame of the Semi-Trailer will have a service life 3 times longer than that of conventional painting. In particular, the cost of galvanizing is not high.

After many years of nurturing the idea of ​​providing customers with a quality, durable, beautiful, convenient product with low maintenance costs. After completing the HOT DIP GALVANIZER workshop, ChienYou VN conducted a test of SURFACE GALVANIZER for the entire structure of the Semi-Trailer beam frame, the results achieved are very proud.

To best protect the product, the hot-dip galvanizing method brings many outstanding benefits:

• Increases the life span 3 times compared to conventional paint.
• The plating layer is up to 100 microns thick, covering the entire structure.
• Strong anti-corrosion ability, suitable for all weather conditions.
• Reasonable investment cost, optimizing long-term economic efficiency.

Chien You Vietnam is a pioneer in applying hot-dip galvanizing technology to the production of semi-trailers. On July 28, 2023, the first batch of products was officially shipped and quickly received positive feedback from customers.
