The paper presents the assumptions made and solutions used in a newly designed low-bed semi-trailer for the transportation of heavy and oversized loads, especially heavy self-propelled road machinery. During the design phase, special attention was paid to the versatility of the semi-trailer. The semi-trailer consists of 4 main modules: a hydraulic removable gooseneck allowing for coupling the semi-trailer to a tractor unit, an extendable low bed, a 2- axle bogie and a 3-axle bogie. The modules can be combined in different ways to create different configurations of the semi-trailer. Owing to that, the carrying capacity of the semi-trailer can be easily matched to the equipment carried. Depending on the current needs, the semi-trailer can have 2, 3 or 5 axles, a payload from 28 to 65 tons, and a length from 13.2 to 20.1 m. Wheeled and caterpillar vehicles can drive onto the lowbed from the front, after the gooseneck has been detached. The length and width of the bed can be adjusted within the range of 2 and 0.6 m, respectively. An important advantage of this semi-trailer is the fact that in a 2-axle configuration it meets the regulations for standard trailers and can be driven in public roads and carry normal loads without a special permission. Thanks to the fact that all its wheels are steered and controlled by a hydraulic steering system, the semi-trailer has very good manoeuvrability despite its long length. The semi-trailer meets rigorous safety demands – it is equipped with a braking system with ABS/EBS, an advanced load fixing system, marking and lighting systems and others. Research and development experiments performed during the design process, among others those concerning the steering system and optimization of the supporting structure of the semi-trailer using FEM analysis, are characterized in this paper.

A dynamic response of a semi-trailer suspension to a real road profile under two different loads was investigated in this study. The trailer was a low loader for transporting heavy and large loads which configuration could be adjusted to the current needs. During the described investigation the vehicle was composed of: detachable gooseneck, maximally extended low bed and 5 hydraulically steered axles comprised 2-axle and 3-axle assemblies. The experiments were performed for unloaded and loaded with 60 tons trailer, that was equal to maximum trailer pay load. Acceleration measurements at unsprung and sprung parts of the vehicle were applied. As a test surface a railway track crossing was chosen. Acceleration time series were analysed by the means of power spectral density. The isolation of free vibration and forced vibration frequencies and effectiveness of suspension damping over wide frequency range was done. Two characteristic signal bands were identified. In the frequency range up to 10 Hz vehicle vibration energy decreased for the load increase for both, sprung and unsprung parts. In contrast, in the range between 10 and 25 Hz at higher load increase of vibration energy was noticed, however only at unsprung mass. Data analysis revealed complexity of vehicle vertical acceleration as a response to the road profile. Nevertheless, it allowed for estimation of the trailer dynamic loads under real road conditions.

W artykule przedstawiono założenia konstrukcyjne oraz zastosowane rozwiązania w nowoskonstruowanej naczepie do przewozu ładunków nienormatywnych, w szczególności maszyn samojezdnych. Podczas projektowania naczepy szczególny nacisk położono na jej uniwersalność. Naczepa może służyć do przewozu ładunków ponadgabarytowych dzięki możliwości jej wydłużenia oraz po-szerzenia, natomiast cięższych od normatywnych - dzięki zastosowaniu 4 osi. Zaletą naczepy jest to, że w stanie złożonym spełnia wszystkie wymagania stawiane pojazdom normatywnym, a więc może poruszać się po drogach i przewozić ładunki normatywne bez specjalnych zezwoleń. W artykule zaprezentowano również przykłady wykorzystania analiz MES w procesie konstruowania naczepy.

Design assumptions and solutions used in the newly constructed semitrailer for transpor-tation of oversized and heavy loads, especially self-propelled machines, are presented in the paper. During the design process a special attention was paid to its versatility. The semitrailer can be used for transportation of oversized loads thanks to the loading platform that can be extended in length and in breadth and for transportation of heavier than standard loads thanks to its 4 axles. The big advantage of the semitrailer is that when it is not extended it meets all the requirements for standard vehicles and thus it can be used on roads as standard semitrailer and carry standard loads without any special permissions. Some examples of applying FEM strength analysis during design process are also presented in the paper.
