For trailer drivers, vehicles are a tool to make a living and a magic weapon to get rich. The attendance rate and failure rate of vehicles are directly related to the owners' profits and earnings. To maximize the value of the vehicle and bring the greatest economic benefits, one is to choose the right model, and the other is to choose the right parts.

Take the trailer axle for example, although it is not as conspicuous as the body, it is the key component to bear the load, ensure braking, maintain driving and assist shock absorption. Only when the axle is selected correctly can the vehicle be more durable and reduce or avoid all kinds of unnecessary troubles in use.

A customer once contacted Darong axle and wanted to order a batch of 10t trailer axles to be used with the wheel end accessories on the original old axle. It was originally an ordinary order, but something incredible happened to this customer.

When Darong axle finished the drawing according to the customer's requirements, it was found that the size could not match the customer's existing accessories. After repeated confirmation, it was found that the parameters of the accessories were wrong. The customer expressed doubt about this, so he found the old axle for comparison. Unexpectedly, there were problems not only with the accessories, but also with the tonnage and parameters of the old axle, which was much different from the specifications required by the customer.

At this time, the customer suddenly realized that no wonder the old axle broke after half a year. It turned out that the manufacturer cut corners and the tonnage was not up to standard.

There are countless axle factories, large and small, in the market. I believe Darong axle is not an example of such a situation. However, it seems difficult for the buyer to find a simple and accurate method that can inspect the tonnage or parameters of the axle on site.

How can we reduce or avoid being cheated by bad manufacturers? Darong axle has made a simple summary from the following points for your reference:

1、 From which channels do you contact manufacturers?

1. Introduction of acquaintances

In all channels, the introduction of people you know is a relatively reliable one, especially when the introducer is the user of the product. After all, when you introduce the product to others, generally speaking, your own use experience is better.

2. Online search

In the era of mobile Internet, online search is the most common way to find target products, such as search engines, Alibaba stores, etc. by typing the target products in the search box, you can find many corresponding manufacturers or brands. This method is the simplest and does not leave home. The disadvantage is that there are too many advertising content. It requires more patience to screen out really good products from the stereotyped "easy to use, durable and high-quality".

3. Field visit

This is the most troublesome and reliable of several channels. Go directly to the target factory to see if it is the same as the advertising. In this way, some small workshop brands can be excluded.

2、 From what aspects?

1. Manufacturer background

It mainly depends on when it was established, how it has developed since its establishment, what its main business is or what its main products are. Generally, the earlier an enterprise is established, the more industry experience it has accumulated, which is in direct proportion to its production strength and scale.

2. Manufacturer qualification

Qualification is the premise and foundation of quality. Only with qualification can we talk about product quality. A complete set of enterprise qualifications not only represents the organization and management ability and production and operation level of the manufacturer, but also the performance of the manufacturer's strength, such as the enterprise's own qualifications, production standards, product quality qualifications, and so on.

3. Production scale

Judging the production scale of the manufacturer can start from the factory area, the number of workers, production equipment and other aspects, which can be learned through field visits. It is difficult to fake. In addition, you can also learn about the manufacturer's product series, annual output and marketing network. Generally, the richer the product series, the larger the production scale, especially the annual output and marketing network.

4. Technical strength

To judge the strength of technical strength, we must first look at the patent layout. The patent technical strength directly represents the R & D strength of manufacturers. In addition, production process and quality inspection means are also a manifestation of technical strength. If you make a field visit, you can have a close understanding. Generally speaking, if the background, qualification and production scale of the manufacturer are qualified, the technical strength is not a big problem.

5. Market reputation

The market is the touchstone of product quality, and the reputation of users is more reliable than all advertising. In this society where mobile Internet is popular, there are countless communities, forums and circles. Sometimes a search on the Internet can receive feedback from many users, which can also be used as a reference.

6. Cooperative customers

It is the most intuitive and relatively simple method to judge the strength of a manufacturer by looking at the cooperative customers of the manufacturer, such as the strength of cooperative customers, the number of cooperative customers, the length of cooperation time, etc.

Darong axle suggests that although the axle is only a part of the semi-trailer, it is directly linked to the vehicle's attendance rate, failure rate and operation safety. It is necessary to consider comprehensively when purchasing, and never just look at the price. If there are conditions, it is best to go to the factory for on-site investigation, especially when the order quantity is relatively large. Of course, nowadays, various online tools are also very developed, and remote investigation is also an option.
