Try to evenly distribute the load throughout the body.
And fasten it well.
If the load is poorly secured, then there is a danger
that it will “go” on the right or left side, the awning will inflate, which can
lead to the tipping of the trailer on slopes. In this case, about any
economical ride can be no question. When the load is loaded in such a way that
the entire load falls on the driving axle of the tractor, and the wheels of the
semi-trailer are empty, the driver experiences uncertainty and discomfort. At
the same time, the undercarriage of the tractor operates with a maximum load,
and a half-empty semi-trailer does not allow the truck to effectively brake and
stop. This is because in this case, the pressure regulator on the brake pads of
the tractor suffers the maximum load, and the pressure regulator on the
semi-trailer pads is minimal. Although it should be the other way around - the
rear wheels of the train must “take” first, while the front wheels should be
the last (at the same time, at the same time). On a slippery road, it is very
important!
If the load is located in the rear of the semi-trailer
(or only in the trailer), the road train experiences uneven jerks that reduce
speed, interfere with normal movement, and also adversely affect the state of
the transmission, hitch, and engine. Such a load can lead to a slip and a stop
on the first ascent. And for this ice is not needed, it will be enough just a
wet road.
If the load cannot be placed in the body evenly, we
advise you to move it closer to the tractor unit or place it on the towing
vehicle (locomotive).
