Detailed Description

Heavy-Duty Chassis & Steel Engineering

The durability of a flatbed starts with its “backbone.” We utilize T700 high-strength steel (or Q345B) for the main beam, featuring a reinforced configuration: 14mm upper plate, 8mm middle plate, and 16mm lower plate. This specific ratio ensures the trailer can handle a 50-ton payload while maintaining a low tare weight to maximize fuel efficiency. The entire frame undergoes a shot-blasting and electrophoresis painting process, providing a durable barrier against salt spray and harsh environmental conditions.

Precision Components & Safety

To ensure safe handling at highway speeds, the trailer is equipped with genuine FUWA or BPW axles and 12R22.5 radial tires. For container security, 12 sets of high-grade twist locks are strategically positioned to allow flexible loading configurations. The platform is finished with a 3mm diamond-pattern steel plate, offering an anti-slip surface that is critical for safety during forklift loading and inclement weather.

ZW Group Manufacturing Base

Our 50,000m² facility in Shandong utilizes robotic longitudinal welding to ensure consistent joint strength. We focus on the “Flatness Detail”—every platform is checked for perfect alignment to ensure even tire wear and stable tracking. Every flatbed undergoes a comprehensive stress test before leaving the workshop to guarantee it meets international safety standards.

Shipping Scenarios

ZW Group manages cost-effective global delivery. To minimize ocean freight, we offer “Three-in-One” stacking (stacking 3 trailers together) for Bulk or Ro-Ro shipment. Each unit is treated with marine-grade anti-corrosion wax, and all electrical systems are sealed to ensure your trailer arrives ready for immediate deployment at your logistics hub.
