The first type of basic maintenance and disassembly tools are essential, including socket wrenches, combination open-end wrenches, screwdriver sets, torque wrenches, pry bars, piston rings, pliers, brake pads, and wheel hub screws. Socket torque wrenches are used to standardize the tightening of screws to avoid uneven tightness of wheel hub screws, which may cause driving hazards. Steel wire pliers, pointed nose pliers, can handle small faults in the oil pipeline of the line. At the same time, movable wrenches should be prepared to deal with different specifications of bolts without carrying multiple sets of specialized wrenches, saving storage space. For cross-border long-distance travel, grease guns and lubricants should be equipped. When passing through dusty roads, grease should be applied to the chassis suspension in a timely manner to
The second type of emergency replacement for vulnerable small parts does not require a complete set of large items to be stocked, only high-frequency loss accessories can be carried. Regular backup brake air pipes, sealing rings, various oil pipe joints, air filters, small filter cartridges, fuses, light bulbs, brake lights, position lights, light bulbs, cross-border day night temperature differences, bumpy roads, and light bulbs are easily burned out. Spare parts can be replaced on site if the vehicle has air pipe leaks. Replace the sealing ring temporarily to ensure the normal operation of the brake. Additionally, bring zip ties, raw materials, and tape to deal with minor oil pipe leaks. Simple repairs can be made to continue moving
The third type of rescue and emergency safety tools are essential for cross-border routes that often encounter muddy, sandy, steep slopes, and rough roads. Anti slip triangular wood is necessary to prevent parking and sliding, and anti slip trailer ropes and steel anti-skid chains should be used to cope with the rainy season. When vehicles get stuck in sandy roads, they rely on trailer ropes to drag each other out of trouble. The accompanying vehicle is equipped with a small jack, an extended top rod, a heavy-duty vehicle chassis, and a heavy ordinary jack support. The extended style is more convenient for lifting the vehicle body. In addition, a fire extinguisher, a reflective triangle plate, and a reflective vest are required. Cross border traffic management departments in many countries generally require accompanying vehicles to be equipped with safety
The fourth type of protective and maintenance auxiliary tool is a large capacity mineral water cloth brush used to clean the dust on the surface of the air filter. The tire pressure gauge can be used to detect tire pressure at any time. Abnormal tire pressure not only consumes oil but is also prone to high-speed tire blowouts. A small gas storage tank can be used for emergency tire inflation. Strong light flashlights are essential for night maintenance of chassis pipelines. In rainy and humid areas, waterproof gloves should be worn to avoid hand contamination with oil, moisture, and slipping during maintenance
The fifth category of protective medical supplies: Cross border travel is long, and collisions and scratches are inevitable. A simple first aid kit containing gauze, disinfectant, adhesive bandages, to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort, pain relief, and commonly used drugs should be placed with the vehicle to ensure personal safety. If injured or sick on roads far away from urban areas, simple treatment can be carried out in advance to ensure personal safety
Overall, cross-border heavy truck on-board tools emphasize simplicity and practicality, without the need for large volume heavy tools. They only rely on disassembly tools, vulnerable parts, and equipment safety materials to solve 80% of sudden failures on the way overseas. Proper on-board tool configuration can not only reduce the probability of downtime on the way, improve transportation efficiency, but also avoid penalties from local road administration and customs due to equipment deficiencies, effectively controlling fleet operating costs
