12.5m Flatbed Semi Trailer Detailed Description
The 12.5m Tri Axle Flatbed Semi Trailer is engineered as a multi-purpose transport platform rather than a fixed container-only solution. As a result, its overall length and deck layout are optimized to balance maneuverability and load distribution, making it suitable for both standardized containers and irregular bulk cargo.
Furthermore, the main frame is manufactured from high-strength Q345 steel with a reinforced beam structure, allowing the trailer to withstand continuous heavy-duty operation. We apply a tri-axle layout with mechanical suspension to improve road adaptability and reduce stress concentration during long-distance transport. This configuration ensures stable performance under varying load conditions, particularly on uneven or mixed road surfaces.
Equipped with an adjustable twist lock system, the trailer can switch between container transport and a flat cargo platform as needed. In addition, optional components such as tool boxes, spare wheel brackets, traction pins, and ABS braking systems allow operators to adapt the trailer to different logistics environments and regional regulations.
