A 40ft Container Trailer is a trailer whose axle is placed behind the center of gravity of the vehicle (when the vehicle is evenly loaded) and is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor. Semi trailers are generally three-axle semi-trailers, and their types are divided into 11-meter warehouse semi-trailers, 13-meter warehouse semi-trailers, and low-flat semi-trailers. It is a heavy-duty transportation vehicle connected with the semi-trailer head through a tow pin.

1. Touch: Perceive by touch
Touch the temperature with your hand, and then you can judge certain faults of the vehicle through temperature perception.
After the vehicle has been driving for a period of time, keep a distance of 2 cm between the hand and the axle head. There is no burning sensation, indicating that the bearing is working properly. If the burning sensation is strong, you need to maintain the wheels.
You can also judge whether the warm air or air conditioner is working properly by sensing the temperature with your hand. Qualified friends can buy a temperature measuring gun to measure the working temperature of each part to determine whether the work is normal.
Reminder: Do not touch the exhaust pipe, water tank, supercharger and other high temperature parts with your hands.
2. Smell from the nose: smell through the nose
The work vehicle has its own unique taste.
If the engine burns oil, it usually emits a pungent smell. If there is a sudden strange smell in the 40-foot frame trailer, stop and check in time. If it is diesel oil, check the oil circuit. If there is an exhaust smell, check the exhaust system.
When the circuit is overloaded, it will emit a pungent rubber smell when it is short-circuited. The fault point can be judged according to the direction of the odor source. Abnormal wear and tear of the clutch and brake pads can also give off a pungent smell of the container skeleton trailer.
Although you can judge the malfunction of the vehicle by smelling the nose, do not smell too strong for a long time to avoid poisoning by inhaling toxic gases.
3. Eyes: careful inspection is the key
Observing and inspecting vehicles with eyes is the most direct and effective method.
It is recommended that you go around the car to check the 40-foot-high skeleton trailer. Start walking around the front of the vehicle to see if there are foreign objects in the tires, and check the accessories on the frame for signs of loose screws. If there are cracks in the joints of the components, please check whether the cargo on the trailer is tightly bound. When stopping, you can raise the cab to check for oil, antifreeze and enough oil.
Find a clean cardboard box under the car, drill into the bottom of the main car and trailer, and check the bottom for loose screws, abnormal parts and pipelines, which are difficult to see. Usually, the more hidden places are the places where our daily inspection vehicles are easily overlooked, so don't be afraid of getting dirty and have time for in-depth inspections.
4. Hearing: judge based on abnormal sound
Experienced drivers can judge whether the vehicle is normal and what is wrong by listening to the sound of driving. This is not bragging. It is based on facts.
Under normal conditions, all parts of the vehicle run smoothly and the sound is relatively stable. Take the engine as an example: when the vehicle is driving, only the sound of the valve, oil pump and air pump can be heard, but only the sound of the supercharger. Once the engine fails, the sound will be very special, so experienced drivers can use the sound to judge the working status of the vehicle.
In daily driving, you can pay attention to the normal sound of the vehicle and keep it in mind. Card friends who deal with cars every day should be familiar with their vehicle sounds. Once there is an abnormal sound, please stop the inspection in time, and check according to the source of the sound, and deal with any problems in time.
