For the carriage of certain types of cargo belonging to the category of bulky or very heavy, the use of standard freight transport is not possible. Usually, the carrier in this case provides a special hitch, which is classified as a trawl or the unofficial name "low loader", for more details about renting a trawl in Kiev at https://express-t.ua/uslugi/perevozka-negabarita/perevozka-tralom.
Its sturdy frame structure is a trailer (semitrailer) made in the form of a metal platform, mounted on several (depending on the modification) wheel axles at a minimum height from the ground. The main advantages of this device are the ability to carry out road transportation of goods:
- More than 20 m long.
- Over standard width (2.5 m).
- Up to 4.5 m high.
- Tonnage up to 100 tons.
The use of trawls will significantly save the customer on disassembling equipment (for example, a boiler room) or structures (wireless towers or high-voltage power lines) and supply the consumer with ready-made products assembled using factory equipment.
Additional features of modern trawls
Modern low-loader trawls are manufactured using the most advanced technologies in the automotive industry. They are equipped with such additional and necessary functions as:
- Pneumatic suspension - withstands loads exceeding 100 tons. Allows you to transport even fragile equipment smoothly and with extreme care on unpaved country roads.
- Hydraulically operated devices for loading self-propelled equipment (asphalt pavers, tractors, rollers) allow loading (unloading) without using lifting equipment.
In most cases, the listed trawl capabilities are necessary for the transportation of so-called oversized cargo (width, length, height exceed the dimensions established by traffic rules). In this case, in addition to the device itself, you will need to go through the procedure for obtaining permission. Consideration of an application can take weeks or even months. Fortunately, this problem can be solved with the help of a company that provides cargo transportation services using its own special equipment. You can find out more details and leave an online application on its official website.
