TAD specialists pay special attention to the constant improvement of products in general and low-frame semi-trailers in particular. This equipment must meet the strictest quality standards, so a reinforced frame, a reliable air suspension system, an efficient brake system and many other components and units are improved at the earliest opportunity.
New semi-trailers equipped with rotary axles became an actual solution and a demanded novelty in the plant’s products. This innovation has significantly improved the handling of heavy-duty trawls, and has also had a positive effect on a significant increase in the service life of the tractor and wheelsets.
The advantages of the new semi-trailers with swivel axles are easy to understand. If we take for example a standard semi-trailer with static wheel pairs and load it to the maximum, then at any entry into the rotation of the wheels will experience very strong loads close to critical values.
The trawl wheels move in a straight line by inertia, while the tractor has already turned. Significant effort must be made to move the wheels of the semi-trailer off this straight path, with the minimum rolling friction of the wheel being converted into the maximum sliding friction of the tire to the right or left.
The greater the weight of the road train, the greater the load not only the wheels themselves, but also the wheel axles, as well as the structural elements of the trawl. In addition, the power plant of the tractor also works at the limit, which ultimately reduces the life of the engine. This is especially evident with frequent turns of small radius.
To avoid such problems as premature wear of tires, wear of the engine, deformation of a design of a trawl, the TransAvtoD company offered the decision with rotary axes which independently turn in the course of movement of the tractor.
The use of trawls with rotary axles significantly reduces fuel consumption and extends the engine life of the power unit. The wheels retain the tread pattern longer, and the beam frame is not deformed when turning any radius.
Structurally, today there are several variations of trawl designs with rotary axes:
Almost all well-known foreign factories produce low-frame semi-trailers with rotary axles of the following types:
The TAD company in addition offers services of additional equipment with steering mechanisms, and also blocks with the steering units, any existing models of modern semi-trailers and trawls. The buyer has an opportunity to equip the trawl with systems of management of turns of wheel axles which are established on any pairs. Most often, the installation of wheelsets on the model of semi-trailers of the Original series with 7 or 8 axles is ordered.
As a result, you get better trawl handling in the most difficult operating and weather conditions. Reliability and safety of transportation of cargoes of any type is guaranteed. You can pave the route even through narrow city streets and difficult road junctions.
This simplifies the preparation of the optimal transportation route and minimizes delivery time. In addition, unloading processes are simplified and accelerated, as trawl feed becomes possible in any limited area and maneuverability.
The latest models of hydraulic ladders have been designed and manufactured especially for the new line of basic semi-trailers of TransAvtoD. If we compare them with their predecessors, we can note such advantages as:
Hydraulic ladders, which have a double folding structure, have become 400 kg lighter than their predecessors. This is a very serious figure, which allows to increase the functionality of semi-trailers.
Note that weight loss did not affect performance: the load capacity of hydraulic ladders of 35 tons is quite “comfortable”. You can easily load agricultural, construction or road machinery on trawls by truck.
Reduced weight is not all that the new design has to offer. Experts note:

If you are going to buy semi-trailers, trawls, dump trucks and other agricultural or construction machinery with compensation from the state, you will be interested in the following information. Currently, there are several programs to support private business in accordance with Ukrainian law.
Consider everything in order.
Limiting the amount of state support for one person
Starting in 2021, a new provision of the Tax Code came into force, according to which financial assistance from the state budget in “one hand” is limited. Implied? The state can provide you, as a state entity, with financial support that does not exceed 10,000 times the minimum wage. In other words, all applicants can count on a total amount of compensation of approximately UAH 60 million.
Is it a lot or a little? It should be understood that 60 million is only part of the entire state support project, which provides for several expenditure items. In general, the entire state support project is “estimated” at half a billion hryvnias.
Debts and bankruptcy
Only those businesses that do not have outstanding and outstanding debts, as well as are not in bankruptcy, will be able to receive assistance from the state.
Based on the key sub-items of the state support project, agro-industrial entities will be able to receive financial compensation. These can be legal entities and individuals with different legal form and form of ownership.
In order to be reimbursed for the purchase of machinery, agricultural enterprises or farmers must not be in liquidation. Bankruptcy cases should not be filed against them. In addition, there should be no debts to the state budget of Ukraine (up to 6 months are allowed).
The Deputy Minister notes that the applicants will not receive any certificates and will not provide them to the relevant authorities for state support. All the necessary information about an individual or legal entity is checked at the state level from relevant sources (tax and so on).
There are various situations, including “force majeure”, when the company is forced to “climb” into debt to cover the costs of the same salary. Such cases will not be an exception for any applicant for state aid. If you want to apply for state support, you will have to pay all debts to the state.
Proportionality of state support with a limit of funds in the budget is an important point of the program. What is meant by the concept of proportionality? Suppose four applicants applied for assistance of 400 thousand, but the budget has only 100 thousand hryvnias. In this case, everyone will receive only 25 thousand.
Compensation when buying trawls, semi-trailers, dump trucks
Who will be able to apply for state support? According to the adopted law, it can be a legal or natural person engaged in entrepreneurial activity. The main type of their activity is agriculture, and the applicant can personally engage in production and perform the necessary services for transportation, storage, processing.
The share of manufactured or transported or processed goods must be at least 75% of the total profit. In this case, you must engage in such activities for at least 12 consecutive tax periods (or 12 calendar months).
The amount of compensation
State aid can be 25% of the total cost of equipment. So you can buy a trawl, semi-trailer, dump truck, combine. Tractor or any other equipment. A general list of machinery and equipment involved in the project can be found on the official website of the Ministry of Economy.
Are there any restrictions on the maximum amount of state support?
At present, the amount of compensation may not exceed 10 thousand minimum wages for 12 calendar months. Currently, the maximum amount of state support for the purchase of machinery and equipment is 60 million hryvnias.
What can state support be spent on?
Funds from the budget can be spent on the purchase of new domestic machinery and equipment. The content of the project is to partially compensate the buyer for the purchase of equipment that was manufactured directly in Ukraine.
The main requirements for applicants for compensation:
To obtain partial compensation for the purchase of a semi-trailer, trawl, dump truck and other domestic equipment, you should study the list of equipment, the purchase of which can count on government support.
We go to the official website of the Ministry of Economy, select the appropriate machinery or equipment, specify the manufacturer or supplier. Then you buy everything you need through an authorized bank.
In the same bank it is necessary to provide some documents, among which:
The general application form, which allows you to count on state support, may vary. To clarify such issues, please contact the official website of the Ministry of Economy.
Authorized financial institutions, through which payment for machinery and equipment is made, keep a register of individuals and legal entities that have made a purchase. Until the 10th of each month, this information is submitted in digital and paper form to the Ministry of Economy, which provides the appropriate form of the register.
What does the Ministry of Economy do?
After the banks have provided all the necessary information on the registers, the Ministry of Economy:
The Ministry of Economy takes the funds to compensate the costs of buyers of domestic machinery and equipment from a special account opened with the Treasury. Banks that have received these funds from the Ministry of Economy, within no more than 3 working days, transfer them to the accounts of persons who made the purchase of machinery or equipment.
The amounts of compensation are registered in the register. Within the next 5 working days, the banks notify the Ministry of Economy about the payments made.
