Sedan cars refer to vehicles specially used for transporting cars. Generally, they are unlicensed new cars. They can also be used for transporting business cars, vans, jeeps, etc.

Due to the heavy weight of the transported goods, the car transporter mostly adopts the low flat plate design, which has the characteristics of stable lifting, low center of gravity, good driving smoothness and so on.

From the perspective of the upper structure, the lift car can generally be divided into skeleton type, fully enclosed type and semi enclosed type:

1. Skeleton type. This kind of car is not equipped with door panels or baffles on both sides and above. It is only composed of column structure, and the transport vehicle is directly exposed to the outside.

Because the purchase cost of this model is relatively lower, and the vehicle weight is also small, fuel consumption is also less, so it is still relatively common in the transportation industry. But the shortcomings of this model are also obvious: the exposed vehicle is easy to be damaged.

2. Totally enclosed. Door panels or tarpaulins are designed on both sides, top, front and rear of this model, which looks like a van trailer, which improves the protection of the transported vehicles and is more suitable for vehicles with higher transportation value.

In contrast, due to the addition of baffles, this fully enclosed car has a larger self weight, higher purchase costs, and greater consumption of consumables such as fuel, which is opposite to the skeleton structure.

3. Semi enclosed. Compared with the skeleton type, this model is equipped with door panels on both sides, but the top and rear are still open. Whether it is the degree of protection for transport vehicles, or the purchase cost, vehicle weight, fuel consumption and other angles, are between the skeleton type and the fully enclosed type.

From the perspective of vehicle types, car transport vehicles can be mainly divided into semi-trailer trains and middle axle trains. If the traction vehicle types are taken into account, they are basically divided into three categories: flat head tractor + semi-trailer, long head tractor + semi-trailer, and middle axle car transport vehicles.

According to the regulations, flat head tractor + semi-trailer car can be installed with 6 cars, long head tractor + semi-trailer car can be installed with 7 cars, middle axle main car can be installed with 5 cars, and belt trailer can be installed with 8-11 cars.

It can be seen that the advantages of the middle axle car in terms of loading capacity are relatively obvious. However, many car owners still have many concerns about changing cars:

1. The product is not mature enough.

Compared with the semi-trailer car, the middle axle car is still in its infancy, and various conditions, whether software or hardware, are not fully mature.

For example, many car owners who have driven mid axle vehicles will find a problem: when the vehicle runs faster and the road conditions are not good, the vehicle is prone to a yaw movement, which becomes more intense with the increase of the speed. This is actually a critical state of driving stability. It is necessary to attract the attention of the driver, and slow down timely and smoothly, so as to return to stable operation, and try to avoid a large acceleration and deceleration, You can't change lanes when there is a swing.

According to industry insiders, the current mid axle car is basically equipped with ABS, but from the perspective of safety and stability, it is best to install EBs and esp. however, due to the cost involved, these auxiliary systems are only installed after the customer requests.

2. Driving is more difficult.

The driving requirements of the middle axle car are different from those of the previous semi-trailer and full trailer. The driver must not drive solely based on his previous driving experience, especially at this stage, the design of the middle axle car is not fully perfect, and he needs to drive professionally and carefully.

It is suggested that when driving a car with a central axle, the maximum speed should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, so as to avoid danger caused by vehicle yaw caused by too fast speed. The second is to strictly follow the center of gravity distribution in the process of loading, and the heavier vehicles must be placed in the main part of the car or the lower layer of the car; Another point is to avoid sharp turns during driving, and do not exceed 80 degrees during reversing, so as to ensure safety as much as possible.

Some car transport logistics enterprises and car owners even hope to carry out some driving skills training services while selling the mid axle car transport, and carry out some systematic training according to the characteristics of the mid axle car transport, so as to further ensure safety.

To sum up, the domestic car transport market may still be dominated by semi-trailer cars in a short time, but with the continuous improvement of the mid axle car transport technology and related services, it may open up a new field in the car transport field.
