What is the difference between a trailer and a semi-trailer? There are several common types of trailers.

The trailer is an important type of road transport and is a type of commercial vehicle. It is mainly a vehicle that is pulled by a car and has no power to drive it. The trailers that people see on the road are pulled by traction cars or trucks. The front drive is the main car, and the rear one is the trailer. With the rapid development of the trailer manufacturing industry, a variety of trailers have appeared on the market. Today, we will talk about what is a full trailer, what is a semi-trailer, and some common trailer models.

The difference between a trailer and a semi-trailer

Many people will ask what is the difference between a trailer and a semi-trailer. In fact, trailers and semi-trailers are just different from the way they are connected. All trailers or semi-trailers are the same without power devices. The trailer is the front end of the trailer and is connected to the rear end of the tractor. The tractor only provides the pulling force and does not bear the weight. The semi-trailer is the traction saddle on the front half of the trailer above the tractor. The bridge behind the tractor receives a part of the weight of the trailer. The most common semi-trailer is a trailer, a large container carrier.

Common trailer models

I believe we all know that the purchase of semi-trailers is based on the configuration of the semi-trailer based on the goods that it transports, and then the configuration of the semi-trailer is determined according to the configuration and chassis. Semi-trailers are also divided according to their actual use. The following are some common semi-trailer models.

1. Self-unloading semi-trailer: The carriage adopts side-turn and back-turn dumping methods: The light and medium-sized ordinary dump trucks used for road transport mainly carry bulk cargo such as gravel, soil, and coal, and are usually used in conjunction with loaders.

2. Warehouse-type semi-trailer: The semi-trailer of the warehouse-type semi-trailer is a semi-trailer designed with a fence structure. Mainly used for transportation of agricultural and sideline products and other light-bubbled goods.

3. Container semi-trailer: The container semi-trailer is a semi-trailer with a container structure. Mainly used in ships, ports, routes, roads, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, multimodal transport supporting logistics systems.

4. Van-type semi-trailer: Van-type semi-trailer series products are used for the transportation of household appliances, light textile goods, coal, sand and other building materials, as well as goods on the chart plate.

5. Tank semi-trailer: The tank semi-trailer is a semi-trailer with tank structure. It is mainly used to transport liquids, bulk materials and bulk cement.

The use of semi-trailers is very extensive, and the economical efficiency of semi-trailers is unmatched by ordinary trucks. Due to the strong carrying capacity of semi-trailers and the large loading capacity, a vehicle can be loaded with 3 times the cargo of ordinary trucks, and the cost is 1.5 times that of regular trucks. From this we can see that the economic benefits of semi-trailers to customers are very impressive.


Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining.This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages. The process is usually carried out on sheet metal, but can also be used on other materials, such as polystyrene. Progressive dies are commonly feed from a coil of steel, coil reel for unwinding of coil to a straightener to level the coil and then into a feeder which advances the material into the press and die at a predetermined feed length. 


Stamping is usually done on cold metal sheet. See Forging for hot metal forming operations.
