Can low-bed trailers use ordinary axles? What is the difference between low-bed axles and ordinary axles?

Low-bed trailers are special vehicles that are used to transport heavy-duty vehicles, rail vehicles, construction machinery, highway construction equipment, large tanks, power station equipment and other types of large, non-disassembled goods. Their structures are generally designed as concave beams, flatbeds and tires are exposed. There are no railings around the body to facilitate loading and unloading and fixing of goods.
Compared with other models, low-bed trailers have a larger transport weight and higher requirements for transport stability, passability and safety. Such models often have higher requirements when choosing accessories. So, can low-bed trailers use ordinary trailer rear axles?Before answering this question, let's compare the difference between low-bed axles and ordinary axles.The wheel ends of low-bed axles are generally small and exquisite, and the diameter of the brake drum is smaller than that of ordinary axles:
Such a design makes the ground clearance of low-bed axles lower than that of ordinary axles, which can lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to a certain extent, making cargo loading and unloading more convenient, and improving the stability of the vehicle during driving. Especially when the vehicle encounters a height-restricted section on the way to transport large goods, a lower center of gravity often means higher passability.
The wheel hub, brake drum, brake pad and other parts selected for low-bed axles are also dedicated to heavy loads. Whether it is strength, toughness or wear resistance, they can fully meet the standards and provide a solid foundation for the transportation of low-bed trailers.
Through the above content, we know that there are still differences between low-bed axles and ordinary axles. From the appearance to the internal design, they are tailored for low-bed trailers and are more in line with the transportation needs of low-bed trailers.Of course, there are many low-profile axles on the market, and the quality varies. How to choose is also a skill. It is recommended that car owners try to choose products that have entered the market earlier. On the one hand, such products have been baptized by the market, and their quality and performance have been verified; on the other hand, these manufacturers have accumulated many years of production experience and their strength is still trustworthy. Of course, if conditions permit, it is recommended that car owners visit the axle factory on site. Whether it is technology, process, scale or strength, face-to-face inspection can also make false propaganda nowhere to hide.
