whogatti:Quad axles actually exist, but I didn't want to talk about that because it's not really common with us here in Nigeria. You'll mostly find such trucks in Benin Republic and the West coast. They use four axles because of the kind of load the truck carries (very very heavy)  The same calculations can be done for it, but I'll strongly advise that the Suspension kit should be a 4 inch suspension kit (the one I used as the example The picture below is what it looks like, although the suspension in the picture is an Air Type suspension ( We usually call them back "Balloon" 1 Like 1 Share

So, let us list out the parts that make up the Tri-axle Suspension kit Note: All sizes (3, 3.5, and 4 inches) have the same parts but they may look different. But it's almost similar and have the same names I'll be using the 4 inches for our example....The one you see in this picture below

We have different categories for the Suspension kit.. But the commonly used ones are 3 inches suspension kit 3.5 inches suspension kit 4 inches suspension kit Like we said before, the lighter the load, the smaller the suspension size and probably axle. But (off the record ), the mostly used suspension kit is the 3.5 inches. It puts this balance between the light and heavy load. I always advice people to go for that. |

The Tonnage of the trailer is determined by the Ton of the Axle If you want to build a 36 Ton trailer body, this means you need 3 axles 36÷3=12 So you need three "12 Ton" axles to build a 36 Ton trailer body https://4.imimg.com/data4/MC/VN/MY-17016655/flatbed-trailer-500x500.jpg |

Tri-axle simply means "Three Axles" In Nigeria, they are usually called "Langa-Langa" or "Kape-Kape" ....(I don't know why )When trying to build a trailer body, the selection for the suspension is very dependent on the load the truck wants to carry A truck that wants to carry empty cartons would definitely have a different suspension from a truck that would carry Cement, or iron sheets Knowing the capacity of what you want to carry would help you greatly, because if you put a bigger suspension for a lesser load, it's like you wasted money.... If you also put a smaller suspension for a bigger load, hmmmm... Do you understand? |
