Recently, at the loading dock of LUYI Special Automobile Manufacturing Base in Shandong, a batch of brand-new LUYI 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers were neatly arranged. Accompanied by a long whistle, the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers slowly drove onto an ocean-going cargo ship, officially embarking on a transnational journey to Senegal. The LUYI 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers shipped this time are core products custom-developed by the LUYI brand to meet the energy transportation needs of the West African market. The 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers not only carry LUYI’s strict pursuit of product quality but also mark a substantial step forward in cooperation between China and Senegal in the field of logistics equipment.
As an important economic hub in West Africa, Senegal has seen a steady increase in demand for the transportation of bulk construction materials such as cement and fly ash in recent years, driven by accelerated infrastructure construction and industrial development. However, the existing transportation equipment in the region generally suffers from insufficient load-bearing capacity and weak adaptability to complex road conditions, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient transportation. The arrival of LUYI 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers just fills this market gap. The 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers are made of high-quality steel, with 16# channel steel used for the side beams. The structural strength of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers is 30% higher than that of traditional models, with a maximum effective payload exceeding 30,000 kg and a loading capacity ranging from 30 tons to 60 tons. The loading capacity of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers can be flexibly adjusted according to transportation needs, perfectly adapting to short-distance and medium-distance transportation scenarios in Senegal, from building material factories to construction sites.
To ensure that the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers can operate stably on the diverse road conditions in Senegal, the R&D team of LUYI has made targeted optimizations. The 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers are equipped with 12R22.5 reinforced tires, with a tread pattern depth of 18mm. The grip of the tires is 25% higher than that of ordinary tires, which can effectively avoid slipping even on muddy roads during the rainy season. At the same time, the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers are equipped with a mechanical air suspension system. By intelligently adjusting the suspension stiffness, the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers can reduce the vibration amplitude caused by road bumps by 40%. This not only reduces the shaking loss of powder materials in the tank but also extends the service life of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers. In addition, the outriggers of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers adopt a standard 28-ton load-bearing design, combined with a fully automatic lifting control system. A single person can complete the parking and fixing of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers, greatly improving the efficiency of loading and unloading operations and reducing labor costs.
Before delivery, the LUYI team also collaborated with local partners in Senegal to conduct multiple rounds of adaptability tests on the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers. The test results showed that the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers operated continuously for 72 hours without failure in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. The unloading speed of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers reached 1.5 tons per minute, which is 50% higher than the existing equipment in the region, fully meeting the usage expectations of Senegalese customers. Abdoulaye Diallo, the person in charge of a Senegalese logistics company, said during the video inspection: “The quality of LUYI 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers exceeds our expectations. With this equipment, the efficiency of our construction material transportation will be greatly improved, and we can better support the advancement of local infrastructure projects.”
The export of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers to Senegal is not just a simple product delivery but the implementation of LUYI’s integrated “product + service” solution. LUYI not only provides a 6-year warranty period for the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers but also has established a professional after-sales support team. All members of the team have more than 5 years of experience in repairing powder tanker vehicles and can solve daily faults through remote video guidance. In case of complex problems, the team can respond within 24 hours and arrive at the site for maintenance within 48 hours. At the same time, LUYI will also provide free operation training for Senegalese customers, covering daily maintenance of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers, safe operation specifications, emergency fault handling, and other content. This ensures that local drivers can quickly master the usage skills of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers and maximize the efficiency of the equipment.
From the early market research and custom R&D of products to the establishment of an after-sales support system, LUYI has always focused on the actual needs of Senegalese customers. The shipment of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers is not only an important starting point for LUYI to expand the West African market but also builds a new bridge for Sino-Senegalese logistics cooperation. In the future, LUYI will take this cooperation as an opportunity to continuously optimize the performance of the 3-axle powder tanker semi-trailers and launch more customized products according to the needs of the West African market. At the same time, LUYI will deepen cooperation with local enterprises in Senegal and explore a “localized production + localized service” model, allowing more high-quality Chinese logistics equipment to enter West Africa and inject more vitality into Sino-Senegalese economic and trade cooperation.
