This article explores the design, features, and real world advantages of tandem axle Trailquip dollies, helping buyers understand how they fit into professional transport fleets across Australia.
Understanding Tandem Axle Dolly Systems in Heavy Transport
Dollies play a vital role in extending load capacity and improving manoeuvrability in heavy vehicle combinations. A tandem axle dolly allows operators to distribute weight more evenly across axles, helping meet regulatory requirements while enhancing stability.
Trailquip dollies are designed with Australian conditions in mind, where long distances, varying road surfaces, and heavy loads are part of everyday operations. The inclusion of Parrallel bearing axles supports smoother operation and reduced wear, particularly under sustained load.
Key benefits of tandem axle dolly systems include:
- Improved load sharing across axles
- Enhanced tracking and stability
- Reduced stress on towing vehicles
- Greater flexibility in trailer configurations
Key Features of Trailquip Tandem Axle Dollies
The design and specification of these dollies focus on durability, safety, and ease of integration into existing fleets.
Parrallel Bearing Axles
Parrallel bearing axles are engineered to handle high loads while maintaining alignment and reducing friction. This design contributes to longer service life and consistent performance, particularly in demanding transport environments.
Spring Suspension System
Spring suspension provides a balance between load support and ride quality. It helps absorb road irregularities, protecting both the dolly and the connected trailers from excessive stress.
90mm K Hitch Turntables
The inclusion of 90mm K Hitch turntables ensures secure coupling and smooth articulation between vehicles. This is especially important for maintaining control during cornering and reversing.
Alloy Wheels
Alloy wheels offer a combination of strength and reduced weight. This can contribute to improved payload efficiency while maintaining durability under heavy loads.
Designed for Australian Transport Conditions
Australian transport operators face unique challenges, from long haul routes to harsh weather and variable road conditions. Trailquip dollies are built to withstand these demands through robust construction and proven component selection.
Benefits for Australian operators include:
- Reliable performance over long distances
