Causes and prevention of semi-trailer tire eating

Some drivers may cause tire eating accidents due to improper driving when operating semi-trailers. To avoid “tire eating”, first choose a qualified trailer manufacturer. If the tire eating is caused by the “quality” problem of the trailer, we can say that we are “powerless”. However, the problem of “tire eating” caused by improper use and maintenance in normal times can be completely avoided.

1. Always check whether the U-bolt is fastened in place, pay attention to the maintenance of the tie rod, especially when the new trailer is pulling goods or running 1,000 kilometers, be sure to check the U-bolt and tie rod.
2. Failure to inflate according to the air pressure standard is also one of the main reasons for abnormal tire wear. If the air pressure is too low, the tire bends inward, resulting in a “bridge effect” and severe wear on the edge of the tire; if the air pressure is too low, the wear in the middle of the tire surface is accelerated.
3. Pay attention to the maintenance of the tire. Regularly and regularly replace the tire, which can make the tire wear even and effectively extend the life of the tire.
4. The leaf spring is misplaced, and adverse vibration and impact occur during the travel of the semi-trailer, which will also cause abnormal wear of the tire. Be careful.
5. Pay attention to the tightening of the wheel hub screws. Loose wheel hub bearings, untightened leaf spring horse bolts, loose suspension, etc. will cause the tire to swing left and right during travel, causing abnormal wear of the tire.
6. The braking system of the trailer is abnormal, such as blocked brake air circuit, brake lag, and poor ABS adjustment, which also cause rapid wear of the tire.
7. Don’t dream of heavy loads without “wearing tires”. The harm of loading to tires is self-evident. For your own and to ensure the life of the tires, try not to load.
8. Unreasonable loading during the distribution process will also cause “wearing tires”, especially for users of bulk cargo delivery. When delivering goods from multiple companies together, you must pay attention to the force balance of the tires.
9. The driver’s bad driving habits are also one of the main reasons for abnormal tire wear. Frequent emergency braking and sharp turns will cause abnormal tire wear.
