Glass transport The trailer is designed for transportation of glass products. Inside such a glass transport there is a special frame that ensures the immobility of the cargo. The glass is immersed on the frame and fixed. The frame is placed in an open space. After that, the glass carrier, having opened the rear doors, moves in reverse towards the standing frame. The operator must have some experience: his task is to drive so that the frame with glass is inside the van. The special design of the bottom of the car makes it easy: when the glass carrier is moving in reverse, it seems to have no bottom. When the frame is inside, its base rests on the special supporting edges inside the van and locks into place. After that, the bottom of the machine rises: the base of the frame becomes its bottom. Inside the glass carrier, special mechanisms are provided that completely immobilize the glass. By pressing a button by the operator, special clamps are detached from both sides of the machine, which firmly press the load. Unloading is carried out in the same way: the bottom is lowered, the clamps open and the glass carrier rolls forward, leaving a frame with a fragile load on the ground. Very often on large construction sites or large industries there is a special machine that accepts this glass practically without the participation of human labor. Dump Truck Dump trucks are used to transport bulk, or loose, or other cargoes suitable for such unloading, which is done by tipping them out of the body. Semitrailers for transporting animals
