Trailer Highlights – Strong & Flexible
Chassis Beam

 Beam is made plates of ST- 52.3

grade/ High Strength Steel flats which
is stronger / Lighter than commercially
used steel.
 Yield strength of material used is
greater than 370 N/mm2.
 Beam is strengthened where
necessary to carry appropriate load.
 Extra padding plate provided through
out the beam from turn table to first
axle to take care of “Indian road
conditions”
 Being fabricated:
- Weight of beam is less as
compared to Rolled beam but
stronger
- Is more flexible and can absorb
shocks better
21
Trailer Highlights – Reinforcing Main
Chassis for Indian Conditions

 On Flatbed trailers a reinforcing

boxing plate is provided to take
care of point loads such as heavy
steel Coils

 The boxing plate ensures

additional strength at critical load
bearing points, reducing effect of
fatigue providing longer life for the
trailers
22
Trailer Highlights – Tailored Braking
Systems for enhanced safety at high speeds

 Proven ABS Braking provided. Braking

efficiency tailored with that of the Prime-mover
 Air Tank Capacity
 Quick Release Valves
 Slack Adjustors (optional automatic)

 Equal length hoses are used to keep equal

pressure on boosters for all axles.

 This ensures that the air pressure reaches the

respective boosters at the same time and
hence synchronized breaking on both sides
tyres

 This enables more coordinated braking, better

tyre life and increased driver driving confidence
and comfort.
23
Trailer – Additional Options Available for High
Efficiency and Utilization

 Air suspension trailers with lift axles

- Improved drive
- Protection of sensitive and fragile goods transporting
- Better fuel economy
- Longer tyre life
