CYP9400CCY Barrier-Panel Transport Semi-Trailer

What this trailer is

A 13 m semi-trailer built in our own factory for barrier, panel and precast concrete work. The whole trailer stands 2.00 m over the ground, which is the point of it: everything else in this range is between 3.00 and 3.60 m tall, and the height here is deliberately absent so that a crane, a hiab or a barrier-handling machine can take the load straight off the deck.

Three 13-tonne axles. Unladen weight 7,000 kg. The beam is 10 mm on the upper flange, 12 mm on the lower and 6 mm through the middle. Tyre options run 11.00R20, 12.00R20, 11R22.5, 12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5, and the finish is powder coat to your requirement.

What it is used for

Road contracting and civil work. Concrete safety barrier out to a highway project and back again when the works move. Precast panel, culvert sections, kerb and slab from a casting yard to a site. Anything long, heavy, rigid and lifted rather than tipped or rolled.

It is tagged for haulage and construction because those are the two businesses that buy it: the contractor who owns the barrier and needs it moved every few weeks, and the haulier who has won the contract to move somebody else’s.

Why this configuration rather than a flatbed

The obvious alternative is our 12.5 m flatbed, which is lighter, cheaper and carries a higher rated payload. Three things separate them.

Height. At 2.00 m overall this deck sits where a lifting machine wants it. Half a metre of unnecessary trailer height on a repeated lift is a real cost in time and in the size of crane you have to hire.

Length. 13 m rather than 12.5 m. Barrier sections and panels come in standard lengths and half a metre decides whether you fit another one on.

Framing. The extra 500 kg over the flatbed is in how the chassis is built for concentrated point loads rather than a spread deck. A barrier section puts its weight in a short run of the beam, repeatedly, on rough ground.

If none of those three describe your work, buy the flatbed.

Condition and what we do before it ships

New build, from our workshop. Powder coated to your specification. Because this trailer is bought for one job, tell us the job: the section length, the section weight, and how it is lifted. That changes what we recommend more than any other trailer in the range.

Shipping it, and what the volume means

66.3 m³, calculated from the overall dimensions. The low deck is worth money here too: at 2.00 m tall it occupies a third less space on the vessel than the 13 m drop-side built on a comparable chassis, which is 99.5 m³. Sea freight is charged on volume, so a trailer that is deliberately short in one dimension arrives cheaper.

Loaded at our yard in Tangshan, shipped through Tianjin Port.

What to tell us

What you are moving, how long it is and how it is lifted. Your destination port and the quantity. Whether you need a prime mover with it, in which case we will price both on one booking.
