Flexibility: Flatbed trailers offer greater flexibility when transporting heavy equipment. These trailers are versatile and can accommodate loads of all sizes and shapes, making them ideal for hauling construction equipment, farm equipment, and other heavy machinery. This flexibility is especially useful when transporting odd-shaped or oversized equipment that cannot fit in an enclosed trailer.
Ease of loading and unloading: Flatbed trailers provide a smooth and easy process for loading and unloading heavy equipment. Unlike enclosed trailers, the unit can be loaded and unloaded from any angle, making the process simple and efficient. This easy loading and unloading saves time and reduces labor costs, making it ideal for businesses that need to transport heavy equipment on a regular basis.
Weight Capacity: Flatbed trailers are designed to handle a wide range of weight capacities. With durable construction, these trailers can safely transport large and heavy equipment without fear of damage or accidents. This weight capacity makes flatbed trailers the perfect choice for businesses that need to transport heavy machinery on a regular basis.
Protection: Flatbed trailers provide excellent protection for transported equipment. The openness of the trailer makes it easy to inspect the load to ensure equipment is safe and undamaged. This protection is critical to ensuring that the equipment being transported reaches its destination safely.

More and more transporters in Africa and southeast Asia are beginning to choose trailers and trucks imported from China, because of the use of second-hand truck and trailer are faced with more and more problems,such as high maintenance cost, short life span and the team is not easy to manage.Purchase new trailer or truck from Europe is too expensive,Chinese semi trailers have more advantages in the trailer and truck market, so buy the trailer from China become the first choice of developers.
As more and more people try to use Chinese new trucks and trailers, they find that new Chinese trailer trucks meet their needs: easier to maintain, longer to use, and more affordable. However, if you have never imported trailers from China, you will have questions about the transportation methods for trailers, so this post will give you a good idea of how trailers are shipped that imported from China.
First, you should know whether to buy a trailer or truck from China. Take us SUNSKY as an example,when you prepare to order or place an order, the trailer trucks in stock are very few and need to be reassembled according to the order, so the production time will take about a month. If it gets to Africa, it will take about a month to get there, and it will get to Southeast Asia even faster. Therefore, we recommend that you arrange your order 2 months in advance if you need to use a trailer or truck.
The second is the mode of transportation, the following introduce five trailer export transportation ways.
1.SKD（Semi Knocked Down）
SUNSKY TRAILER will disassemble the finished trailer and export it as semi-finished products or parts. The importer will assemble the finished trailer in the host country by themselves.
For the exporters, in addition to saving freight and taking advantage of the cheap labor force of importing countries, they can also enjoy a certain import tariff lower than the import of whole trailers. For the importers,it can promote the development of domestic industry, increase employment opportunities and occupy the domestic market.

This way of transportation is suitable for loading skeleton semi trailers, flatbed semi trailers, side wall trailers, etc. Recommended for transport terminal or assembly plant.
2.CKD（Completely Knocked Down）
Export in CKD parts is to pack and box all parts separately. This form of export is equivalent to the customer purchasing parts in China (taking advantage of the local collaborative purchasing ability of China's complete machine factories and the low cost of materials), which will save the customer a great deal of cost.
Parts made in China are assembled into trailers with local labour and sold at lower retail prices at lower tariffs and lower wages. This saves shipping costs and reduces tariffs, but it requires good assembly capacity.
This way of transport is suitable for loading various types of trailers, including flatbed trailers, tanker trailers, etc.
3.Flat transport
A special flat-bed truck (main truck) pulls a flat-bed full trailer, the main truck is equipped with a tractor, and the trailer is equipped with two tractors.
A semitrailer tractor is hoisted and towed to tow two semitrailers. The front part of the first semitrailer tractor is connected to the saddle of the head car, and the rear part of the second tractor is connected to the first saddle.
Since semitrailers have a thing called a saddle (also known as a "fifth wheel") that connects the tractor to the semitrailer, it is possible to make full use of the saddle during transit by directly connecting the truck to the saddle.
And you might say, well, how did these trucks get onto the previous truck? The answer is not to drive up, is to be lifted up, often need a boom truck.
A truck with a hydraulic saddle lift bracket lifts another truck. One fulcrum of the bracket is the saddle, and the other is the connection between the hydraulic rod base and the frame. There is no turning between the bracket and the frame and the turn is achieved by articulating between the bracket and the truck being lifted.
This is cheaper than ro-ro shipping, especially for export to the Philippines. Suitable for load tanker trailers, HOWO tractors, etc.
4.BULK ship or RO- RO SHIP
Ro-ro ship is a kind of multi-purpose transport ship, which can not only load container trailers, but also long heavy pieces, group goods and all kinds of vehicles. It can carry on the loading and unloading flow operation without interruption, high efficiency, and is not limited by the terminal loading and unloading equipment, this mode of transport can be trailer transport, so for shippers, easy loading and unloading cost is low. Its main disadvantages are low capacity utilization, the highest transportation cost, but faster speed.
This mode of transportation can transport all semitrailers, super link trailers.
5.Flat rack container transport
The frame cabinet removes the top and side wall of the box on the basis of the ordinary cabinet. Its characteristic is that there is no top and side wall of the box, and sometimes even the end wall is removed, leaving only the bottom plate and four corner columns, which play an important role in the transport of super-standard containers.
This mode of transport can be used to transport flatbed trailers and oil tankers, which is more convenient and more commonly used mode of transport.
6.Container freight transport
Container can deliver the goods collection, assembled into container unit for trailer loading and unloading, handling and transportation, SUNSKY TRAILER mainly use 40 ft and 45 ft container, container transport greatly reduces the traditional mode of transportation in the number of manpower loading and unloading, handling, which could avoid any damage to the goods caused by man-made and natural factors, wet damage, loss, such as freight accident, reduce economic loss.
This mode of transportation can carry all kinds of semi-trailers, which is also our common mode of transportation.
