Firstly, the lifting torque is sufficient, and the unloading of heavy loads does not cause any jamming. The oil cylinder is arranged at the front end of the cargo box, with a longer lever arm and greater lifting thrust. When fully loaded with ore and wet clay, it is easy to lift and there will be no weak lifting or pressure relief jamming in the middle. Compared with the mid mounted oil cylinder, even if the materials in the compartment clump and adhere, it can quickly lift and unload, greatly reducing the time cost of manual cleaning of the cargo box and improving the efficiency of transportation on the construction site.
Secondly, the unloading angle is larger, resulting in less residual material and less accumulation. The front oil cylinder can achieve a larger tilt angle of the compartment, allowing mineral sand, red soil, and gravel to slide completely in one go, while wet clay and high viscosity slag are rarely left at the bottom of the compartment. African mining areas often have rainy weather, and the soil is prone to compaction. Unloading at a steep angle can avoid material accumulation, increase the weight of the vehicle, reduce single transportation losses, and lower fuel consumption costs.
Thirdly, the structural force is balanced, making the cabin and frame more durable. When lifting heavy loads, the pressure is concentrated on the main beam at the front of the compartment, and the force distribution of the entire vehicle is uniform, without causing distortion in the middle of the compartment or deformation of the bottom plate. The mining road surface is bumpy and uneven. Under long-term heavy transportation, the failure rate of cracking welds and deformation of the main beam in the front oil cylinder model is much lower than that in the middle roof model, reducing overseas maintenance and replacement costs and extending the overall service life of the trailer.
Fourthly, it is easy to maintain and suitable for overseas simple repair shops. The front oil cylinder is exposed on the outer side of the trailer tail, and the hydraulic oil pipe, oil seal, and lifting cylinder body are visually visible. When there is oil leakage or damage, there is no need to disassemble the compartment, and the operation of replacing accessories is simple. Local repair shops in Africa have limited spare parts reserves, and simple repair structures can significantly reduce downtime and avoid delays in mining construction due to trailer failures.
