During transportation, the flatbed semi trailer may encounter water ingress problems due to heavy rain, floods or improper operation. Water ingress will not only affect the performance of the vehicle, but may also cause damage to the cargo. After the flatbed semi trailer is flooded, you should pay attention when handling it.
According to the manufacturer of Lionkar flatbed semi trailer, if the vehicle is shut down due to water ingress during wading, the ignition switch should be turned off immediately, and you should not try to start the flatbed semi trailer again. It should be moved to a stable place, and every effort should be made to make the vehicle uneven so that water can enter and exit the exhaust pipe.
If water enters the inside of the mover of the flatbed semi trailer, the spark plug should be removed, the fuel supply system and the ignition system should be manually cut off in time, and the mover of the flatbed semi trailer should be operated by the motor so that the water entering the inside of the mover can be discharged smoothly. According to the manufacturer of the flatbed semi trailer, the oil condition of each system of the vehicle should be checked, and the foaming and turbidity should be replaced in time.
Flatbed semi trailer manufacturers tell everyone that after the cleaning is completed, the vehicle road test is carried out to determine that the flatbed semi trailer has no abnormal noise during driving. If there is obvious driving noise, check the bearings and rotating parts of the mover. When wading, if water enters the flatbed semi trailer, the main task of maintenance is to remove the water accumulated in the car compartment.
There are several sealing plugs at the bottom of the vehicle chassis. Opening the sealing plugs can release the water accumulated in the car compartment.
Preventive measures
1. Avoid wading
In bad weather or on roads where water is known to accumulate, try to detour or wait for the water level to drop before driving.
2. Strengthen sealing
Regularly check the sealing strips and sealants of the flatbed semi trailer to ensure that the body is well sealed to prevent rainwater from seeping in.
3. Raise the height of the vehicle
When designing and modifying the flatbed semi trailer, consider raising the height of the vehicle chassis to increase the wading ability.
4. Install waterproof equipment
Install a waterproof cover or waterproof kit for the flatbed semi trailer, especially on the electronic equipment and circuit parts to improve the waterproof performance.
5. Driver training
Provide professional training to drivers so that they know how to drive safely in bad weather and how to deal with emergencies when the vehicle is flooded.
