Optional extras for the trailer truck can increase transport efficiency, reduce transport costs and make the vehicle safer and more individual. For example, the addition of a blind spot camera can effectively reduce the number of blind spots around the vehicle, allowing the driver to better see what's going on around the vehicle and reduce risk. Below are descriptions of recommended options and when they are required.
1. Auxiliary Fuel Tank
We know that a bigger fuel tank in a trailer truck means a longer mileage, which is especially important for long haul trucks to save time and labour costs. and there are also have improve transport efficiency, reduced risk of disruption, responding to emergencies and fuel cost saving etc advantages. The optional auxiliary fuel tank is highly recommended for long-distance transport, e.g. across borders, or if there is a lack of petrol stations along the transport route.
2. Heavy Duty Saddle
The trailer truck have two model saddle, light duty and heavy duty saddle. When carry over 50 tons cargoes and drive at bad road condition, recommend choose 90# 3.5 inch heavy duty saddle.
3. Air Deflector
The deflector is an air deflector mounted on top of the cab of a trailer truck. Its main function is to effectively reduce the air resistance and fuel consumption when the truck is travelling at high speed. When transporting various kinds of containers, or when the transported cargo exceeds the height of the cab, you can consider installing the deflector on the top of the trailer truck cabin.
4. Air Suspension Seat
As the air suspension is able to adjust the damping effect in real time according to the trailer truck's driving status and road conditions, it can effectively filter out the vibration brought about by bumpy road surfaces, making the vehicle ride smoother. In addition, air suspension seats are usually multi-directionally adjustable and can be customised according to the passenger's body type and seating position, which reduces driving fatigue and further enhances ride comfort. The optional air suspension seat is recommended for transport routes with poor road conditions.
5. Mudguard
Mudguards can effectively prevent moving vehicles from splashing mud, water vapour and other dirt onto other vehicles or pedestrians, which helps to maintain the tidiness of the road. As the mudguard can block most of the mud and other impurities from directly contacting the surface of the vehicle, it can reduce the accumulation of dirt on the bodywork, thus reducing the frequency of washing the vehicle and the maintenance cost. Some countries have very strict environmental requirements for roads and often require vehicles to be fitted with mudguards to prevent road pollution or face fines.
6. Warning Lights
The main role of warning lights is to maintain road safety, through the issuance of light signals or sound signals, to remind the operator or driver to pay attention to the surrounding environment or the state of the equipment, to avoid collisions and accidents. Especially in the night driving, as well as the transport of a variety of ultra-wide oversized goods and dangerous goods warning light is very necessary optional.
