A 4-point suspension system in hydraulic trailers is designed to
enhance stability and load distribution during transport. Here's how
it works and why it's beneficial:
Key Features of 4-Point Suspension
1. Enhanced Stability:
o
The system divides the hydraulic circuits into four points,
ensuring balanced support across the trailer.
o
It provides better transverse stability compared to a 3point suspension system, reducing the risk of tipping.
2. Load Distribution:
o
The suspension system adjusts hydraulically to distribute
weight evenly across all four points.
o
This is particularly useful for uneven terrain, as it
minimizes torsion stress on the trailer.
3. Dynamic Adjustment:
o
Constant control and adjustment of the hydraulic circuits
ensure proper support during transport.
o
It adapts to changes in load and ground conditions,
maintaining stability.
4. Applications:
o
Ideal for transporting heavy and oversized cargo,
especially in challenging environments.
o
Commonly used in modular hydraulic trailers and selfpropelled modular transporters (SPMTs).
