A particularly important indicator, which must be taken into account when selecting tires for installation on trawls or platforms with a low frame, is the load index of the tires, which must correspond to the load capacity of the semi-trailer. At the same time, the speed index is less important because heavy road trains do not move at the maximum possible speed.
In the values of the indices, which in freight transport are in the range of 115-175, encrypted indicator of the maximum allowable load per bus.
The weight of the equipment is the most important indicator that is taken into account when choosing tires for it. Therefore, when self-selection of rubber for a semi-trailer that meets the requirements of its manufacturer, you should use the information provided in the manual.
It should be remembered that, according to the traffic rules, it is strictly forbidden to install on one axle of transport tires of different sizes, with different treads and construction (radial with diagonal, chamber with tubeless), with different treads, as well as new and old. This is primarily due to safety requirements.
It is impossible to assume how different tires will behave, for example, when braking.
In Ukraine, when buying a semi-trailer, on the website https://www.tad.ua/, or ordering its manufacture, you must inform the accepting manager about the roads on which the equipment will move, and about the features of the goods that it will be carry. This will allow you to choose the rubber that is most suitable for the operating conditions of the semi-trailer. So, for off-road models you will need tires specifically for off-road, and if you plan to use used tires, you should order their diagnosis.
In addition, properly selected tires can reduce fuel consumption, which contributes to greater efficiency of road transport. It is worth looking at useful options, such as lifting axles, which reduces tire wear.
When buying a semi-trailer in Ukraine, you can arrange the installation of high-quality budget tires or, if the budget allows, products of more reputable brands. Such as Goodeear, Mishelin and other well-known manufacturers.
