The semi-trailer is one of the main equipment in cargo transport. Let's get to know the different types of semi-trailers and their applications with an expert on the subject: Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários, manufacturer of the exclusive Double Deck Semi-trailer.
Semi-Trailers - There are many models of semi-trailers available in the market, each with its own characteristics and specific applications. Let's get to know some of them?
- TRUNK SEMI-TRAILER - The trunk semi-trailer is used to transport dry cargo such as food, electronics, medicines, and products of the most diverse types, packed and palletized. The trunk semi-trailer has an enclosed structure with rigid material (ensuring a safer environment for high value products) and is insulated. Its loading and unloading is done from the rear.
- SIDER SEMI-TRAILER - The main difference of the Sider Semi-trailer is the sides made of canvas that can be retracted, allowing the loading and unloading to be done through the sides and not the back. Widely used for the distribution of palletized loads that do not require special care, such as medicines and food, the Sider semi-trailers guarantee agility during the loading and unloading process.
- REFRIGERATED SEMITRAILER - This type of semi-trailer is used to transport temperature-controlled products (medicines, chemical products, frozen or chilled foods, etc.). The Double Deck Refrigerated semi-trailer is manufactured exclusively by Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários, and can transport up to 42 pallets of 1.85m in height. This is 50% more volume than a conventional trailer, thanks to the cargo box that grows from 2.8 meters to 4 meters.
- DRY CARGO SEMIRTRAILER - The Dry Cargo Semi-trailer is used to transport boxed or bagged goods, steel plates and bars, parts, sacks, crates, cans, among others. This type of semi-trailer does not have a roof, so it only transports goods that do not require health or safety precautions, and it can have rear or side doors for loading and unloading.
- TANK SEMI-TRAILER - The Tank Semi-trailer is used specifically to transport liquids or gases (fuel, chemicals, juices, water, etc.). The tank is constructed from corrosion and leak resistant materials, and is often thermally insulated to maintain the temperature of the cargo.
- DOUBLE DECK SEMI-TRAILER - Labor Equipamentos Rodoviários exclusively manufactures the Labor Double Deck semi-trailer in Brazil and in America. These versatile semi-trailers have two decks and can carry up to 42 pallets of 1.90m in height, about 33% more than a conventional semi-trailer. There are several models available, for the most varied applications: Double Deck Trunk Semi-trailer, Double Deck Sider Semi-trailer, Double Deck Refrigerated Semi-trailer and Double Deck Mixed-load Semi-trailer.
- SEMIRREBOQUE PARA TRANSPORTE DE CHAPAS VIDROS - The Labor (In Loader) sheet glass transport semi-trailer is the most efficient and safest solution to transport such delicate material. These semi-trailers transport large glass sheets, 6 meters long and up to 4 meters high, which is not feasible for conventional vehicles. Besides being safe, loading and unloading them takes only about 4 minutes.
- SEMI-TRAILER FOR TRANSPORTING PRECAST CONCRETE PARTS Exclusively manufactured by Labor Equipamentos, the Concrete Loader semi-trailer is ideal for transporting precast concrete parts. The vehicle allows the driver to easily and safely load and unload precast panels, which can be up to 4 meters high and 11 meters long, and the whole operation is done in only 4 minutes, without the help of cranes or Muncks.
- CONTAINER SEMI-TRAILER This type of semi-trailer is used to transport containers. Container semi-trailers are open and have fittings for attaching the 20- or 40-foot container.
- TIPPER SEMI-TRAILER - This type of semi-trailer is used to transport bulk cargo that needs to be dumped. For example, dump semi trailers transport sand, gravel, ore, fertilizer, etc.
- SEMI-TRAILERS FOR TRANSPORTING LIVING ANIMALS - This type of semi-trailer is used to transport cattle, horses, etc. The transport of live animals should only be done following the VTAV (Live Animal Transport Vehicle) norms, to ensure their well-being and safety.
- BEVERAGE SEMI-TRAILER FOR EVENTS - The beverage semi-trailers for events work as a large walking bar. It has barrels, its own refrigeration system, crossbars and taps for distribution. Labor Equipamentos' beer units also have a cold chamber so that kegs of beer can also be served if the 6 thousand liters in the barrels do not meet the demand, in addition to a sound system, lighting, and LED panels.
- SEMI-TRAILER MOBILE UNITS - Unlike all the others, these units are produced to serve as mobile buildings, not for transporting cargo and goods. These carts have their interior transformed into units for hospital services, classrooms, examination rooms, etc. Labor Equipamentos' mobile units can also be expanded in an automated way, creating large environments with up to 3 floors.

It has in its catalog mobile units of up to 3 floors, double deck semi-trailers (trunk, sider, mixed loading and refrigerated), semi-trailers for transporting glass (In Loader), semi-trailers for transporting pre-fabricated concrete parts (Concrete Loader), and beverage units for events.
