GIRDER TRAILER (Truck head + rear steering dolly)

Suitable for long distance girder transporting on the road 

Our company is a large-scale enterprise integrating research, development, manufacturing, and sales.We are a leader in the bridge construction engineering machinery manufacturing industry.We are specializing in different types of bridge 

transport vehicles such as 30T-2000T required for highway and railway bridge transportation. the products are not 

only sold domestically, but also exported to the international markets .And we have longterm and stable cooperative relations with China Railway, AVIC, China Communications, China Power, and China Tunnel, which have made outstanding contributions to the steady improvement of China’s bridge transportation level.

Girder vehicle is also known as a long beam vehicle or long bridge vehicle.Generally, the length of the long beam ranges from 20 to 100 meters, with a load capacity from 30 tons to 400 tons. It is available with box-type girders and T-type girders.There are also some bridge components of over 1,000 tons, which are suitable for transportation in railway and high-speed rail projects. We can customize various support structures to accommodate girders of different shapes.

The long beam vehicle is a combination trailer or transporter designed for transporting ultra-long cargoes by supporting the two ends of the goods. It is the most efficient and cost-effective solution for hauling over-length and special-shaped cargoes, such as structural girders, long steel structures, long steel pipes, precast concrete beams and long bridge segments.

In most cases, customers already have their own prime mover. Our company can manufacture the matching trailer.

We can install the load-bearing turntable on the customer’s existing prime mover, and equip it with a rear steering dolly.It can also be fitted with a small diesel engine to realize the manual steering function.

1.Truck head (with turntable) + steering dolly ( for 30-250tons girder transporting):

The tire-type beam transporter is currently the ideal special equipment for transporting precast girders in bridge construction. It is mainly applied to bridge erection sites, as well as working conditions where the precast girder yard is far from the bridge erection site.

The whole vehicle consists of two independent running units: the truck head (Prime mover) and the auxiliary vehicle(Rear steering dolly). Its professionally designed wheel base is universally suitable for the transportation of T-beams, box girders and 45-degree inclined girders. It effectively saves your capital investment, simplifies the transportation process, and greatly reduces construction time, labor and material costs.

Advantages: The overall length can be adapted to bridges of different lengths; it features a small turning radius. With a load-bearing structure like a carrying pole for spanning transportation, it has a low center of gravity and excellent stability.

Features:

Adopting a compact body structure, the vehicle is not limited by narrow passages such as tunnels and culverts, delivering excellent trafficability. The whole transporter consists of two independent operating units: the prime mover (truck head with turntable )and the rear steering dolly, delivering better overall performance and running stability.The prime mover serves mainly to provide driving power.The steering dolly follows the prime mover to steer, enabling flexible transportation such as turning and passing obstacles.Customers can use their existing prime mover without purchasing an additional truck tractor.

The steering dolly is available with 2-axle, 3-axle, 4-axle, line axle or modular axle options.The number of axles can be customized according to the customer’s different load capacity requirements.

Besides standard through axles, line axles and modular axles are upgraded options with higher load capacity. Common specifications include 2-line 4-axle, 3-line 6-axle, 4-line 8-axle and more modular axle combinations. They are generally equipped with hydraulic steering brackets.The front unit can be matched with a low-bed semi-trailer fitted with steering brackets.

  • The steering dolly is steered by a diesel engine. It is equipped with a co‑driver’s cabin and can also be remotely operated via wireless remote control.The whole vehicle is easy to operate, with flexible and responsive driving and steering performance.
  • The driven end (trailer dolly) is equipped with a single-cylinder diesel engine, which only provides power for hydraulic steering without driving function, featuring flexible follow-up steering performance.The rear steering dolly can be equipped with either leaf spring suspension or rigid suspension, and can be customized according to customers’ requirements.

It boasts superior overall performance with optional rigid suspension or leaf spring suspension. It features good driving stability, strong anti-rollover capacity and large load capacity.Adopting multi-axle independent suspension with automatic leveling system, it keeps the beam horizontal on rough roads and effectively prevents overturning.

Girder beam transporter adopts full-hydraulic steering with synchronous steering of the main and driven vehicles. Even with a long vehicle body, it can achieve small-radius turning and move flexibly across construction sites.

  • Girder bridge transport truck adopting a heavy-load bearing design, the machine features a high overall safety factor and ensures reliable and safe operation. The frame adopts an improved processing technology with high dimensional accuracy.
  • Bridge transport trailer features split flexible structure, large load capacity, excellent off-road performance and stable running. It enables convenient beam feeding operation with high safety and easy maintenance, serving as the core special equipment for modern bridge construction transportation.
  • Girder bridge transport trailer is equipped with various types of turntables and support rods to stabilize bridge components during transportation.

The steering dolly is equipped with a triangular drawbar. It can be directly coupled to the prime mover when empty, facilitating transportation and site transfer.

The rear steering dolly is designed for an extremely large load capacity. If the customer’s truck head has a relatively low load rating, a front dolly can be additionally equipped to bear the front load and make the overall force distribution more uniform.

Girder transporter trailer is suitable for transporting bridge components, cement blocks, cement piles, as well as large and ultra-long tank bodies. It can handle a wide range of over-length and over-weight cargo.We can design custom turntables to fit arc structures with different diameters. This makes the binding tighter and more reliable, and ensures more stable transportation.

If the customer is located in a rainy country or an area with a long rainy season, an enclosed cabin can be custom-built to protect the driver from rain.

SHIPMENT

The length, width, overall dimensions and load capacity of the bridge girder trailer can all be customized.
We generally adopt container shipping, bulk carrier shipping or flat rack container,open top container shipping. The specific shipping method can be arranged according to the customer’s requirements
