● Full-trailer, semi-trailer points of distinction: different towing methods
First of all, two concepts must be clear: what is a tractor? What is a trailer? The front of the vehicle with the ability to drive the front is called a tractor, the back of the vehicle without the ability to drive the traction is called a trailer, the trailer is being towed by the tractor to go. The full trailer, semi-trailer is based on the front of the tractor is not the same way to connect the distinction.
The most obvious difference between a full trailer and a semi-trailer is that a full trailer can stand firm with independent support, while a semi-trailer must rely on the front legs to stand still.
Full trailer: the trailer can be independently supported to stand firm, the trailer is fully loaded
A full trailer is literally well understood. The load of the full trailer is borne by the trailer itself, which is connected to the main vehicle only by hooks. The main vehicle does not need to bear the load of the trailer, but only provides power to achieve the traction and steering of the full trailer. Typical full trailer is generally composed of frame, cargo platform (top load), traction bar (frame) (with hanging ring), steering device, suspension, wheels, braking system, signalling system and so on. At present, full trailers are mainly used for on-site transport in terminals, factories, harbours and other areas.
