The best semi-trailers to buy

The flexibility of semi-trailers – trailers without a front axle – has made them a popular option for transporting goods. Since they have only one turning point, they’re easier to reverse. They must be connected to a tractor unit or other motorized vehicle with a fifth-wheel coupling. Once hooked up to a tractor trailer, they can be used to haul almost any kind of cargo, including livestock and construction waste.

Tipper dumper

When you need to haul and quickly offload things like sand, gravel and soil, a dumper truck, also known as a tipper truck, will do the job. Even smaller dumper trucks can manage a large payload, with many models able to handle up to 7.5 tons of weight. Tradus has a wide selection of dumper trucks complete with the cab and chassis options you need to get things done without hassle, so browse models from reliable brands such as Schmitz-Cargobull, Benalu, Stas, Lagendorf and Meiller to find what you need.

Flatbed tarpaulin semi-trailers

A strong tarp trailer can be used to haul goods and keep them safe from the elements, even when you’re driving hundreds of kilometers in rough weather. Flatbed tarps are available in many sizes and can be specially made to protect specific types of cargo, including lumber and steel. If convenience matters most, look at roll tarp systems, which can be easily opened and closed, providing fast access to your freight. Brands offered at Tradus include Schmitz-Cargobull, Krone, LAG, Koegel and Pacton.

Refrigerated semi-trailers

Transporting food, pharmaceuticals, flowers and other delicate goods requires the best refrigerated semi-trailers on offer. Tradus sellers carry all the best-known brands in the field, including Schmitz-Cargobull, Krone, Chereau, Lamberet and Koegel. A good reefer will keep your freight at precisely the right temperature, ensuring it arrives at your final destination in perfect condition. If you don’t need an advanced mechanical refrigeration system, Tradus has you covered, too. Consider a basic insulated semi-trailer that will keep things cool – it’s a solid option for non-perishable products.
