End dump semi trailer parts

Chassis

With high strength performance and complete steel chassis, its body was designed to a particular section that looks like an “i.” And it will not cause an uneven surface because robots conduct all the welding processes.

It can flexibly respond to the distortion and spring by reinforcing with a center sill. The connecting brackets on the chassis side beams will reduce stress by distributing the forces exerted by road conditions on the track group.

With solid road adaptability, it can operate on many worse road surfaces.

Chassis fittings

The landing gears conform to the same standard, which is extensible and can be bolted from the bottom.

Dump semi trailer kingpin: conforms to the 94/20/EC instruction, and 2″ can be dismantled and installed from the bottom.

Dump semi trailer Jost: The trailer can sustain 25 tons of dynamic loads or 50 tons of static loads.

Axle and Suspension system

Panda Mech end dump trailers’ axles are from famous brands of BPW and Fuwa, which are with quality assurance and longer service life.

Braking system

End dump trailer is with Wabco valve EBS 2S / 2M with RSS -a two-circuit braking system, and equipped with an aluminum alloy air tank that meets the EC standards.

Electric system

The end dump trailer electrical lighting system is a significant part of traffic safety at night, and its lighting system meets the demand of EEC standards. The system consists of sidelights, a reflector, and a 2*7 pin socket set.

Painting and the surface protection

The frame must be sandblasted and surface hardened with a fully automatic strapping system.
