For semi-trailer, what is the difference between the length of the wheelbase?

1, long wheelbase
(1) Advantages: the longer the wheelbase, the larger the turning radius, the more stable the vehicle travelling; the longer the semi-trailer length, the more convenient to transport a larger type of goods; to a certain extent, you can expand the ride space, comfort can be generally improved.
(2) Disadvantages: the longer the wheelbase, the less flexible the vehicle turning; ride space is comfortable, but poor handling, safety factor is reduced; the space requirements for the parking space is greater, the long wheelbase means more parking space.
3, short wheelbase
(1) Advantages: short wheelbase, vehicle flexibility is stronger, more convenient to enter and exit curves or parked in the parking space; short wheelbase sports good, strong handling.
(2) Disadvantages:
Poor stability at high speeds; restricted transport of goods. Semi-trailer as the transport industry in the most used models, bear a very important role, which requires semi-trailer axle quality must be strictly over the quality. Especially in the current lightweight trend prevails under the premise, must not blindly sacrifice the axle's own load-bearing performance in order to achieve the purpose of weight reduction, or once the axle breaks in the full load process, the consequences are unimaginable. Vehicle owners in the purchase of axles, especially lightweight axles, be sure to choose the regular manufacturers, do not believe the publicity gimmick of three products.
