Jul 24,2022

Trailer rims, also called wheels, are an important part of semi-trailers. "Wheels" and "tires" are two completely different parts. The so-called "tire" is the rubber part of the "wheel" of the car, which itself is a soft body, so the cylindrical part whose inner contour supports the tire and whose center is mounted on the shaft is called the wheel hub. Now the editor will popularize the knowledge for the rims:

The maintenance method of the trailer rim:


1. When the temperature of the trailer rims is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning, and must not be cleaned with cold water. Otherwise, the aluminum alloy trailer rims will be damaged, and even the brake disc will be deformed and the braking effect will be affected. In addition, cleaning the trailer rim with detergent at high temperature will cause a chemical reaction on the surface of the trailer rim, tarnish and affect the appearance.


2. When the trailer rim is stained with hard-to-remove asphalt, if the general cleaning agent does not help, try to remove it with a brush, but do not use a hard brush, especially an iron brush, so as not to damage the surface of the trailer rim.


3. If the place where the vehicle is located is wet, the trailer rim should be cleaned frequently to avoid the corrosion of the aluminum surface by the salt.


4. After cleaning if necessary, the trailer rim can be waxed and maintained to keep its luster forever.


Trailer landing gears, the main components of trailer landing gears are a two-speed gearbox, a support sleeve, a support rod, a transmission screw (a crank handle) and a support disc. Its structure is simple, but it can achieve important functions. Only through a gear box and a crank handle, It can control the left and right trailer landing gears to lift and lower at the same time, and it can be divided into two gears: high and low. The use of trailer legs requires a relatively flat road surface, which is easy to use and labor-saving in operation.
