Construction of roads and other facilities involves moving the vehicles on difficult and unstable surfaces. The wheels are stuck in a muddy ground or in the unloaded material. The drivers have difficulty in moving out of the place of unloading, because not having any load on the drive axle, the wheels lose stability. These special circumstances require appropriate technical solutions. The idea of the N30 W1U semi-trailer has been inspired on the American market in order to settle on European roads in the nearest future.
The innovative N30 W1U semi-trailer was created mainly for the transportation of loose material used in construction, such as sand or gravel. But transportation is not the only task that may be handled by the semi-trailer. What distinguishes it from its European counterparts is the possibility of even distribution of material on the road directly from the container. A thin, 5-cm thick layer may be distributed without using any additional equipment! This shortens the time of completing the project and lowers the costs of the construction.
A characteristic shape of the 28m3 container, resembling letter Ω (omega), prevents any sticky material from sticking in the loading area and shortens the time of unloading.
The body of the unique self-unloading semi-trailer has been installed directly on the rear bogie. This allows for easy escape from a muddy terrain or from the unloaded material. In case of not having any pressure on the axles, the driver sometimes has trouble in escaping from the unloading area. In this case, while dropping the trailer, the bogie is pushed forward.
