Recently, a 3-axis side crane semi-trailer has been produced and is ready to be towed to the port for shipment to Nigeria. The customer said that these semi trailers are mainly used to transfer 20 foot and 40 foot containers between the container yards of Apapa Port and Tincan Island Port. They also need to deliver containers directly from the port to industrial zones, free trade zones, and construction sites in Lagos, Ibadan, and Kano.
This 3-axis side crane semi-trailer adopts a side mounted container semi-trailer structure, which is suitable for loading and transportation of 40 foot and 20 foot international standard containers. The chassis main beam is made of high-strength steel and has a through welded structure, with strong rigidity and torsional resistance.

The biggest advantage of this self lifting design is that it does not rely on on-site equipment. Whether it is picking up containers at the port yard or unloading containers at the customer's doorstep, there is no need to wait for a crane, and one vehicle can handle everything. The front and rear two sets of lifting arms of this semi-trailer work together through a hydraulic system to complete the lifting and lateral movement of the container.
The tire specification of this 3-axis side crane semi-trailer is 12R22.5, which can be found in tire shops in Nigeria and West African countries. The suspension adopts a leaf spring suspension, which has a simple structure and easy maintenance. The braking system is a dual circuit air brake, equipped with WABCO brand brake valves and ABS anti lock system, which can provide reliable braking force on wet and slippery roads in Nigeria during the rainy season.

In a few days, this 3-axis side crane semi-trailer will be shipped. The customer mentioned that they will try it out as soon as possible. If the boom lifting system and frame perform stably under heavy load conditions after running in, they will add several models with the same configuration in the second half of the year.
