Driving requirements for low flatbed semi-trailer

Due to its unique low center of gravity design, the flatbed semi-trailer has become an ideal transportation tool for carrying heavy and oversized objects. In order to ensure safety during transportation, the driving requirements for low flatbed semi trailers are stricter than those for ordinary vehicles. Whether it is road conditions, load distribution, or operational skills, drivers and operators need to fully understand and strictly follow them to avoid accidents and extend the service life of vehicles.

Ensuring reasonable load distribution is crucial in the daily operation of low flatbed semi trailers. Due to the design of low flatbed semi trailers for carrying overweight cargo, if the load distribution is uneven, it may cause the body to become unbalanced, increasing the risk of overturning or rolling over. Therefore, when loading heavy equipment or machinery, it is advisable to keep the center of gravity of the goods low and evenly distributed on both sides of the vehicle to avoid excessive weight on the front or rear of the vehicle.

In addition, the driving speed of the low flatbed semi-trailer is also crucial. Under heavy load, the speed of the vehicle should not be too fast, especially when driving on complex road sections such as mountain roads and slopes. Excessive speed can easily cause loss of control, increase braking distance, and even lead to serious safety accidents. When fully loaded, the braking performance of a flatbed semi-trailer is slower than that of a regular vehicle, so the driver needs to maintain sufficient distance while driving to prevent the vehicle from stopping in time during emergency braking.
