Trailer assignment

A car trailer is a non-self-propelled vehicle designed to transport various goods together with a tractor vehicle. Such a combined vehicle was called a road train. As part of a road train, a tractor can transport several trailers at once. Their use allows you to increase the amount of cargo transported per trip, which increases the efficiency of transportation.

According to their purpose, trailers are of general use, universal and specialized. Specialized devices include devices designed to transport certain types of cargo, for example, container ships, timber trucks, tanks, refrigerators.

The SZAP-8357 trailer manufactured by KAMAZ Trailer is a universal on-board device for transporting various cargoes.
