Take stock of those Rapp trucks

With the continuous improvement of cargo transportation requirements of all walks of life, the subdivision of the freight industry is also more and more. Different transportation fields also put forward different requirements for the types of vehicles, thus the concept of “special car special” came into being, such as muck truck, mixing truck, refrigerated truck, hazardous chemical transport vehicle, etc.

However, in the actual use of the process, limited by the supply of goods, freight, car cargo and other factors, some special vehicles also began to use “multi-purpose”, “cross-border” cargo.

1. Low plate semi-trailer

“Special car is not special”. In the most common case, I am afraid to number the low plate semi trailer. That is, we frequently say large plate car.

Semi Trailer Manufacturer says,According to the announcement, the large pallet truck belongs to the special vehicle, which is specially used for the transportation of large goods and can not be disassembled. In the actual transportation process, only the three-line six-axis semi-trailer is actually used in the transportation of large goods. ​Additional low plate semi-trailers, such as 17.5 large plate and 13.75 large plate, are mostly used in general cargo transportation. Dumping goods, general merchandise, less than 100 Dan, household appliances, furniture, green pass, express delivery, machinery and equipment, cement, sand and so on have become its transport goods. In the words of the owners, it is “what goods can be pulled, what money can be earned”.

The width limit of low flat semi-trailer is 3m, and the length is typically more than 13m. The height of its cargo platform is low and there is no barrier around it, therefore its loading is extremely terrible. ​Different transport vehicles are not rivals at all, therefore numerous owners regard them as the culprit of disrupting the freight market and one of the reasons for the continuous decline of freight.

2. Skeleton container semi-trailer

Skeleton semi-trailer is welded by longitudinal beams, beams and front and rear end beams. From the top of the body, its bottom is exposed. In general, it is mainly used for transporting containers, which are used in logistics systems such as ships, ports, routes, highways, transfer stations, bridges and tunnels.

According to the announcement, the skeleton semi-trailer can be as tall as 13.95 meters to better accommodate the market standard container length of 45 feet, which is 20cm longer than the van semi-trailer.

In actual use, the space given by laws and regulations also failed to meet the desire of the market. Super tall, super wide and super tall containers appeared. Under the not too strict laws and regulations, the loading capacity was illegally increased.

What is more, the upper part of the container is directly replaced with a cold storage car, warehouse top, dump car, etc., for the transport of different kinds of goods. Although this kind of modification looks clever, in fact, dangerous, is a violation of the law.

3. Semi-trailer for vehicle transport

​It is commonly called the car, as the name suggests, that is, dedicated to transport cars, vans, commercial vehicles, jeep and other passenger vehicles of the semi-trailer. Especially after the emergence of the concept of “zero kilometer transportation” for modern cars, the market coverage of sedan cars is also improving.

In general, the car can be divided into skeleton type, completely enclosed and semi-enclosed three structures. In the past, when the supervision was relatively loose, some people, driven by interests, lengthened or widened the carriages, or changed the single row into a double row, which resulted in the appearance of “single row”, “single cage”, “tiny cage”, “Erstrange”, “T cage”, “airplane jump”, “huge strange” and other car nicknames.

With the gradual strengthening of the relevant departments’ supervision of the vehicle transportation industry, the illegal modification of vehicles has been relatively restrained. But the phenomenon of “cross-border” transport still exists.

4. Refrigerate semi-trailer

In the freight market, cold chain transportation is the envy of ordinary car owners, and its supply of goods is relatively fixed. There are also numerous people who earn 20-30,000 yuan a month. But with the influx of modern vehicles and the emergence of the epidemic, the cold chain market seems to be no longer as popular as before, and some refrigerated cars even began to take over the business of the general market.

Especially retail refrigerated vehicles, return to find the source of goods, owners do not want to let the vehicle empty run, so they can not find the cold chain goods, will also pick up some ordinary goods, some of which refrigerated owners in order to grab a single, at the expense of lowering the freight.

In fact, refrigerated truck transport of general cargo is not in line with the requirements of the regulations. Although the refrigerated car looks not too bad with the car, according to the “road cargo transportation and station management provisions”, the refrigerated car belongs to the “use of refrigerated preservation equipment” for transportation of the “special transportation” category, if its operating license precisely marked “special transportation of goods (refrigerated preservation equipment)”, it can not be carried out general cargo transportation, otherwise once investigated and punished is likely to face penalties.

5. Hazardous chemical transport vehicles

The transportation of dangerous chemicals is a special mode of transportation, which has certain safety risks. The general examination procedures, qualification conditions, transportation supervision and additional links are considerably stricter than the general transportation of goods.

Hazardous chemical transport truck Lapu cargo is relatively rare in peacetime, but it is not without, so is this in line with the requirements of the regulations? In fact, the statute has a clear provision for this:

Tank type special vehicles or special vehicles used for transporting dangerous toxic, infectious or corrosive goods shall not be used for transporting general goods; ​other dangerous goods transport vehicles can be used to transport general goods if they meet certain conditions, such as cleaning and elimination of dangerous goods or hazard elimination treatment and inspection standards. Dangerous goods are not allowed to be mixed with general goods.

It can be seen that if the hazardous chemical transport vehicles meet the corresponding standards, they can also be engaged in general cargo transport.

See these special car “cross-border” transport cases, numerous general goods owners said same headache: the general goods market of goods altogether on those, ordinary vehicles are not divided over, special vehicles also to rob, even in order to grab a single also reduced freight. This lets the general goods owners how to survive?

From a macro point of view, the chaos of “cross-border” transport is not conducive to the long-term development of the freight market. “Multi-use of one vehicle” may be the immediate demand of transport participants, but it is not the ultimate demand of the freight industry. ​Possibly in the actual implementation of regulations, due to the different implementation standards, to a certain extent to the car is not dedicated to providing a hotbed of violations, but the owners should be clear, the existence is not equal to reasonable, if it is a violation of the behavior, it is best not to do, otherwise once caught, it will be more than worth the loss.
