A customer from Uruguay received his low bed gooseneck trailer a few days ago, and showed us his love for TITAN semi trailer.

 

In order to meet customer needs, TITAN's semi trailers are strictly inspected to ensure that each trailer is delivered to the customer intact. Trailers can only leave the factory after passing the inspection. Safe driving is the top priority.

To prevent problems, the lowbed trailer will routinely check the following items before leaving the factory:

 

1. The suspension system

Look at the tightness of all nuts and bolts and U-bolts, which are all related to the degree of tire wear during use.

2. Check the tightness of all nuts, screws and bolts

Don't be too troublesome about this detail, you should check whether each screw is tightened one by one. In one sentence, "there is no small thing in the tire", I hope everyone remembers it.

3. Tire pressure

Visually check for lack of gas and debris adhesion, and then look for deformation and cracks in the steel rim.

Generally tires are adjusted to the recommended level by the manufacturer. When the tire pressure is too high, the middle part of the tread will wear It will intensify, not only shorten the service life of the tire, but also affect the grip performance of the tire, which is not conducive to driving safety. Too low tire pressure will result in tire puncture and accelerated wear.

4. Check and ensure that the landing gears are working properly

During the landing gear inspection, shake up and down and try a few times, and check for cracks in the weld.

5. Check the wear of moving parts

Look at the box board, the lock lever and reach out the small parts such as the box board hinges, box hooks, cuttings, and container locks to see if there are any cracks and breaks.

 

6. Check all lamps and reflective signs

Check whether the electrical circuit is working properly, try to turn on the lights to see if there are no bad lights, and check if there is any shortage of reflective signs.

Of course, in addition to the initial inspection of the lowbed semi trailer, care should be taken during daily use.

For the maintenance of semi trailers, the following items need to be noted:

 

Monthly inspection

1. Check whether the leaf spring reed is broken;

2. Check whether the brake is normal and replace the worn parts in time;

3. Check the brake drum for cracks or abnormal wear;

4. Inspect all fasteners, focusing on the fasteners used for legs, tires, axles, etc. (in any case, nuts, screws and other fasteners should be tightened to the recommended torque parameters);

5. Check all brake system joints and hoses for damage and hose clips.

 

Once a year maintenance

After the vehicle has been in use for 6 months, a comprehensive inspection is performed every 12 months to ensure the performance of the vehicle. In addition to the monthly inspection performance, the following matters should be noted:

1. Remove the brake drum and thoroughly check that the brake shoes have no extra or improper wear;

2. Check the brake shoe return spring, brake bush, camshaft sleeve, brake shoe drum, etc. for damage;

3. Thoroughly inspect bearings, axle connecting parts, and vehicle structure.
