Why are short rear tail semi-trailer more popular with East African customers

As we all know, the transport industry in Africa is in a booming situation, and long-distance transport plays an important role in many port cities,among them, the semi-trailer, especially the 3 axles semi-trailer, is one of the most widely used means of transport.

Different regions have different design requirements for semi-trailers, and customers in East Africa are particularly partial to short rear tail semi-trailers.

Below we will compare and demonstrate from two aspects of semi-trailer performance and application scenarios:

The short rear design makes the center of gravity of the semi-trailer move forward, and the stability is better when turning. Small turning radius, more suitable for narrow Spaces and roads; At the same time, the lightweight design of the frame reduces the self-weight, which is conducive to improving the fuel efficiency.

The following is a brief introduction from the customer usage scenario. Due to its proximity to Tanzania, an important port city in Africa, it has driven the development of the transportation industry in surrounding cities and countries, so there is more demand for semi-trailers. At the same time, there is more and more demand for short-distance and light-load transportation.

Due to the limited width of the road and the limited space of the mining area, the short rear tail is more suitable for this type of transportation scenario. In addition, the short rear tail is more stable in the stack and is not prone to deformation. Therefore, customers in East Africa often choose to purchase multiple short rear tail semi-trailers.
