What is Mega Trailer transport?
Mega trailers are semi-trailers that have been designed and manufactured to carry a higher volume of goods in road transport operations. They are a specific type of vehicle characterised by their larger dimensions compared to standard trailers.
Mega trailers are designed to accommodate more cargo volume than standard trailers and therefore offer greater efficiency and economy. Here are some key features and benefits of this type of trailer:
Increased Cargo Space: Mega trailers are larger in terms of their internal height compared to standard trailers. They are designed to maximise cargo volume, allowing for the transport of larger and bulkier goods.
For example, the mega trailers in the Efret fleet can carry 100 m3 of freight, whereas a standard trailer can only carry 91 m3. This represents almost a 10% increase in payload by volume.
Height: The roof of a mega trailer can be manually extended by a driver operated mechanism by 0.40m. This extra height allows the safe carriage of oversize cargo that standard trailers would not be able to accommodate.
Efficiency: The increased cargo capacity of mega trailers can lead to more efficient transportation. Fewer trips may be required to transport the same amount of cargo, reducing fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and transportation costs.
Versatility: Mega trailers can be versatile and used in various industries, including retail, manufacturing, construction, and logistics. They are suitable for transporting a wide range of goods.
Specialised Cargo: Mega trailers are often used for transporting oversized or irregularly shaped cargo that may not fit within the confines of a standard trailer.
Loading and Unloading: Loading and unloading mega trailers may require specialised equipment due to their increased height. Some mega trailers have built-in features to assist with loading and unloading.
Safety and Regulations: Mega trailer transport is subject to regulations and safety standards to ensure that these larger trailers are operated safely on the road.
It's worth noting that the specific dimensions and regulations for mega trailers may vary from one region or country to another. In some areas, they may be subject to weight and size restrictions, and all operators must comply with local transportation laws.
Mega trailer transport offers advantages in terms of increased cargo capacity and efficiency, making it a sustainable option for businesses that need to transport larger or bulkier goods.
