Many people will ask what is the difference between a drawbar flatbed trailer and a flatbed semi trailer. In fact, a full trailer and a semi-trailer are only connected differently than the traction car in front. Below we will introduce the difference between a semi-trailer and a full trailer.
The flatbed semi-trailer is a type of trailer whose axle is located behind the center of gravity of the vehicle.
The trailer is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal or vertical forces to the tractor. Part of the total weight of the trailer is borne by the tractor. It doesn’t have itself power, it is carried together with the truck head, and the container carrier semi-trailer is driven by the tractor.
Flatbed trailer is usually used to transport 20ft or 40ft containers. They are mainly used for container transportation supporting ships, ports, shipping lanes, highways, transit stations, bridges, tunnels, and multimodal transport. Use platform trailers to transfer cargo at the shipper’s warehouse. Unloaded to the consignee’s warehouse, when changing trailer or boat on the way, there is no need to take the goods out of the box and change them.

The use of semi-trailers is very wide. Compared with other ordinary trailers, semi-trailers can bring more economic income. With the strong carrying capacity and large loading capacity of semi-trailers, one truck can load three times the goods of ordinary trucks.
Flatbed semi trailer has high-speed and stable driving, easy matching, and low driving difficulty. The most important point is that we can drive semi-trailers on high-speed roads, and semi-trailers play an important role in long-distance road transportation.
This shows that the semi-trailer brings more benefits to customers.
Flatbed drawbar trailer is the front end of the trailer connected to the rear end of the tractor. The tractor only provides a pulling force and does not bear weight. That is, a full trailer is added behind the ordinary car, and the two are connected by a hook. The trailer can increase the loading capacity of the truck and reduce fuel consumption, thereby reducing transportation costs.
The load of the trailer is fully borne by itself, and it is only connected to the locomotive with a hook. The locomotive only provides power to help the trailer overcome the frictional resistance of the road. A trailer can stand upright on its own tires, while a semi-trailer must stand on its front legs.
