Tractor Head

Semi-Trucks have excellent compatibility and can tow almost all semi-trailers that meet standard sizes and connection methods, making them extremely versatile transport tools. Common types of semi-trailers include:

Flatbed Semi-Trailers: Used to transport steel, machinery and equipment, building materials, etc.

Dry Van Trailers: Used to transport various dry goods and packaged goods.

Container Chassis: Dedicated to transporting standard ISO containers.

Stake/Fence Semi-Trailers: Used to transport agricultural products, bulk goods, etc.

Tanker Trailers: Used to transport liquids or gases.

Dump Trailers: Used to transport bulk materials such as sand, gravel, and coal.

Lowbed Trailers: Used to transport large construction machinery and ultra-high and ultra-wide equipment. Through the standardized fifth wheel connector, the tractor head can quickly and safely change different types of semi-trailers to meet diverse transportation needs.

Safety is the primary consideration in the design of our road tractors (Road Tractor). Modern tractor heads integrate a number of advanced safety technologies to protect drivers, cargo and road users:

Efficient braking system: Equipped with a powerful air brake system, usually combined with ABS (anti-lock braking system), EBS (electronic braking system) and ESC (electronic stability control system) to ensure braking efficiency and vehicle stability in emergency situations.
Driving assistance system: Including adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane departure warning (LDW), forward collision warning (FCW) and emergency brake assist (AEB) to help drivers predict risks.
Fatigue driving monitoring: Some models are equipped with a driver status monitoring system to remind fatigue driving.
Good vision: A wide windshield, reasonably designed rearview mirrors (including blind spot mirrors) and an optional surround view system provide a comprehensive field of vision.
Strong frame structure: The frame made of high-strength steel can effectively absorb collision energy and protect the cab area. Together, these features ensure that the tractor head can provide reliable safety protection under various road conditions.

The axle configuration of the tractor head is crucial to its load-bearing capacity and compliance with local traffic regulations:

Two-axle tractor head: The most common configuration, suitable for general medium and long-distance transportation. Its axle load limit is relatively low, but its own weight is light and fuel economy is good.
Three-axle tractor head: Very common in countries such as China, usually equipped with one drive axle and two or three non-drive axles. This configuration can better disperse the traction and load, meet higher total weight limits and axle load regulations, and is suitable for heavy-load transportation.
Four-axle or more axle tractor head: Suitable for overweight and oversized transportation, such as transporting large equipment on modular trailers. Increasing the number of axles can further reduce the unit axle load and meet stricter axle weight regulations, while providing greater traction and stability. Choosing the right axle number configuration requires comprehensive consideration of the weight and volume of the transported goods, axle load regulations in the main transport areas, and road conditions to achieve optimal transportation efficiency and legal compliance.

Our tractor heads (Prime Mover) are optimized for long-distance highway transportation in many aspects to provide excellent performance, fuel efficiency and driving comfort.

Power system: Equipped with high-performance, low-fuel consumption engines and advanced transmissions, it ensures sufficient power reserves and excellent fuel economy when cruising at high speeds.
Wheelbase design: The relatively long wheelbase design significantly improves the vehicle's straight-line stability and crosswind resistance at high speeds, reducing driving fatigue.
Cab: Provide a spacious, ergonomic cab, usually equipped with comfortable shock-absorbing seats, sleepers, air conditioning and advanced entertainment systems, providing a comfortable working and resting environment for long-distance drivers.
Aerodynamics: The exterior design of the body focuses on aerodynamic optimization to reduce wind resistance and further improve fuel efficiency. These comprehensive designs ensure that the tractor head is capable of long-term, high-intensity highway transportation tasks.
