Intermodal refers to "the whole cargo is loaded by a constant carrier unit or road vehicle, through two or more modes of transportation seamless continuation, and in the process of changing the mode of transportation does not occur to the operation of the cargo itself a form of cargo transportation", so the multimodal transportation is mainly applicable to the van transportation.

Rail-highway combined transport refers to the combined transport between road and railway, is a form of multimodal transport.

From sling to multimodal transport

In recent years, the Chinese government and industry management departments are actively promoting the development of multimodal transport. Relevant government research departments and institutions have carried out studies on standards and regulations of multimodal transport and development policies.

At the same time, a number of multimodal transport plans, development programs and pilot support policies have been issued. The foundation of the development of China's multimodal transport is sling transport. From 2005, the development of sling transport was proposed, and in 2010, China's sling transport began to be promoted in large-scale logistics companies, but the popularity is not enough, basically in the logistics company's internal sling, no social sling.

With the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the turnover of road freight transportation is increasing. Under the background of the national implementation of green transportation and energy conservation and emission reduction, the development of multimodal transportation, especially the combined transportation of road and railway (highway and railway combined transportation), as well as the combined transportation of road and waterway (highway and water combined transportation) has been formally put on the agenda.

So, under the background of China's future multimodal transport development, what kind of model is the semi-trailer suitable for China's rail and highway combined transport in the future?

The modernization of Logistics equipment in China

What type of semi-trailer products does Modern logistics in China need? I think there are two main dimensions of thinking:

First of all, the development direction of automation, digitalization, information and intelligence of Logistics in China is unquestionable, and the development of logistics equipment is bound to develop in this direction.

Van-based transportation and palletized transportation are the necessary conditions to realize cargo mechanization and automatic loading and unloading, as well as digital and information management. Intelligent management puts forward higher requirements for standardization of equipment, digitalization of operation process and information management.

Secondly, China's logistics equipment, especially the development of semi-trailers and pallets, such as taking the road of European and American countries, that is, the internal size of trailers is the same as that of inland containers, and the way and quantity of pallets are the same.

Aluminium alloy riveted wing semi trailer

At present China's semi trailer line with European standards has size standards, China's inland container is given priority to with 45 feet in length, van semi-trailer with 45 feet container inland equal competition in road transportation, so China's modern logistics development is bound to be large-scale using box semi-trailer, early steel wave plate (or tablet) no longeron van semi-trailer for mainstream products, Because this kind of product has light weight and low cost, it has the advantage of transporting light foam goods.

Full aluminum alloy wing semi trailer or riveted aluminum wing semi trailer cost is higher, there are large-scale logistics companies can choose, it has light weight, high residual value, operating benefits will be better than ordinary semi trailer.

Side curtain semi-trailer

The side curtain semi-trailer is suitable for fast loading and unloading of goods. After the side curtain is fully opened, the left and right forklifts can operate at the same time with high efficiency. And side curtain semi-trailer has a variety of models, according to the different types of transport goods, choose professional side curtain semi-trailer, fixed goods more convenient, lifting is also convenient. Side curtain semi-trailer will become the mainstream equipment of road logistics transportation in China.

SUNSKY is committed to produc all kinds of semi-trailers with high quality. No matter how the demand for semi-trailers in The Chinese market changes, we comply with the needs of The Times and conscientiously to make products.
