Abstract
Description
[0001] REAR PLATFORM SUITABLE FOR ALL OPTIONS
[0002] Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to the rear platform developed for the standardization of the chassis option in trailer vehicles.
[0004] State of the Art
[0005] A trailer is a transportation vehicle that can be attached to vehicles such as trucks or tractors and is used to carry loads. It is a metal platform that is generally preferred in the transportation sector and is suitable for carrying loads. The rear of the trailer usually has an axle or wheel assembly and may have stabilizing structures to support the load it carries. Some trailers are equipped with hydraulic or pneumatic systems to increase load carrying capacity. Trailers generally have advantages such as being able to transport at high speeds, increasing load carrying capacity and providing flexibility in carrying different types of loads.
[0006] The trailer usually has a box-shaped body made of steel material and supports the load loaded thereon. The trailer chassis is usually constructed on longitudinal and crossbars welded together. The trailer chassis contains components such as brakes, axles, tires and suspension that make transportation easier and safer. There are different types of trailer chassis, such as flat chassis, truck chassis, platform chassis, and flatbed chassis. Trailer chassis structure is very important to ensure functionality and safety in transportation operations.
[0007] When trailer chassis options are to be applied, the main chassis components such as the longeron and the horizontal trailer profile are determined as different designs. On an option basis, some options that are compatible with mega chassis vehicles are not suitable for use in maxima vehicles, and options that are compatible with maxima vehicles are not suitable for use in mega vehicle chassis. In the state of the art, trailer designs have two different designs, mega type and maxima type, which vary according to the tractor height. The rear platform of the Mega and Maxima chassis is different. The trailer mega and maxima chassis rear platform is a long and wide platform that is usually used for transporting heavy loads. These platforms are ideal for transporting large and heavy items, especially industrial equipment, construction materials and large machinery. The mega chassis rear platform is wider than the size of a standard trailer and is often used to carry wide loads, while the maxima chassis rear platform has a raised platform to carry higher heights. These platforms are typically used in the ground transportation industry and allow heavy loads to be transported more safely and efficiently. Taillift for rear loading lift, train loading option for chassis design suitable for trailer train loading, hood for design suitable for chassis to avoid contact with the wheel top area, strut bollard for stacking the loads in the trailer, load lashing option for fixing the loads in the trailer and placement of the equipment positioned in the floor area are preferred. A separate longeron design is used for all the options mentioned. A different chassis is created for each option. Trailer longerons are longitudinal frame members that form the chassis of a trailer or semi-trailer. These parts are usually made in a rectangular or oval shape and are the main structural elements that carry the weight of the trailer.
[0008] As a result, the need for a rear platform that allows all options to be available on a single chassis, which eliminates the disadvantages of the existing technique, and the inadequacy of existing solutions have necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.
[0009] Brief Description of the Invention
[0010] The present invention relates to a rear platform developed for the standardization of the chassis option in trailer vehicles, which meets the above-mentioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages and brings some additional advantages.
[0011] Based on the known state of the art, the object of the invention is to provide the opportunity to have all the options on a single chassis thanks to the developed rear platform.
[0012] The object of the invention is to provide a standardized product in which the tail lift attachment zone, train loading, hood, strut bollard and load attachment ring can all be positioned at the same time, thanks to the redesigned Longeron, horizontal trailer profile and crossbars.
[0013] Another object of the present invention is to eliminate the need for different chassis codes thanks to the rear platform, and to eliminate the stock code and labor errors that will occur during the creation of different chassis during the designer and chassis production.
[0014] Another object of the present invention is to ensure the standardization of the rear platform as a whole, thanks to the design and modular structure made in the gooseneck connection area.
[0015] Another object of the present invention is to eliminate the incompatibility between the mega and maxima options and to make both the mega and maxima options suitable for use with a single rear platform. The structural and characteristic features of the present invention will be understood clearly by the following drawings and the detailed description made with reference to these drawings and therefore the evaluation shall be made by taking these figures and the detailed description into consideration.

[0037] Detailed Description of the Invention In this detailed description, the rear platform (10) developed for the standardization of the chassis option in the trailer vehicles, which are the subject of the invention, is explained only as an example for a better understanding of the subject and in a way that does not create any limiting effect.
[0038] On the rear platform (10) shown in Figure-1 , a standardized design has been realized in which the longeron (11 ), horizontal trailer profile (12), crossbars (13) are standardized and the tail lift connection area (16), train loading area (15), hood (17), strut bollard area (18), load attachment ring (19) can all be positioned at the same time. At the same time, standardization of the rear platform (10) as a whole has been ensured with the design and snap-in modular structure made in the gooseneck connection area (14). The inventive rear platform (10) eliminates the incompatibility between the mega and maxima options, and makes both mega and maxima options suitable for use with a single rear platform (10). At the same time, thanks to the rear platform (10), the need for different chassis codes has been eliminated, eliminating the stock code and labor errors that would occur during the creation of different chassis during the designer and chassis production.
[0039] At the bottom of the rear platform (10) shown in Figure 2, the longeron (11 ) is positioned, which is the I-Beam on which the chassis is installed and located along the chassis. On the side part of the said rear platform (10), the horizontal trailer profile (12) is positioned, on which the chassis is installed and which surrounds the chassis. The crossbars (13) used in the connection of the horizontal trailer profile (12) and the longeron (11 ) are positioned on the uprights connecting the horizontal trailer profile (12) extending along both sides of the rear platform (10) shown in Figure-3. The gooseneck connection area (14) where the rear platform (10) and the front platform meet is positioned at the front part of the rear platform (10) shown in Figure-4, which is connected to the towing vehicle. The train loading area (15) suitable for trailer train loading is positioned at the bottom of the horizontal trailer profile (12) shown in Figure-5. The tail lift connection area (16) is positioned at the rear of the rear platform (10) shown in Figure 6, under the horizontal trailer profile (12), for the use of an intermediate loading lift. The hood (17) is positioned on the ground part of the rear platform (10) shown in Figure-7 to prevent the chassis from coming into contact with the upper wheel area. The strut bollard area (18) is positioned on the horizontal trailer profile (12) shown in Figure-8 for stacking the loads inside the trailer. On the side part of the mentioned strut bollard area (18), there is a load attachment ring (19) for the placement of the equipment positioned in the base area for securing the loads inside the trailer.
