Recently, inside Luyi Heavy Industry’s intelligent production base in Shandong, a batch of brand-new 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers are neatly arranged, with the metal luster of their bodies shining brightly under the sun. Upon the issuance of the departure order, these 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers, carrying the quality commitment of “Made in China”, slowly left the factory. They will be loaded onto ships at the port and sent across the oceans to the Republic of Gabon in Africa. This batch of exported 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers is a customized product developed by Luyi Heavy Industry to meet the local energy transportation needs in Gabon. From R&D and design to production and manufacturing, every link has undergone strict control, aiming to inject new momentum into Gabon’s logistics industry with reliable quality.
As an important energy-exporting country in Central Africa, Gabon is rich in oil and natural gas resources. However, for a long time, the local energy transportation sector has faced problems such as insufficient professional equipment and low transportation efficiency. The Gabonese energy logistics group that purchased the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers is the largest integrated logistics enterprise in the region. Its person in charge clearly stated during the inspection that the choice of Luyi Heavy Industry’s 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers is precisely due to the product’s outstanding advantages in load-carrying capacity, safety performance and adaptability. To accurately match Gabon’s transportation needs, Luyi Heavy Industry’s R&D team specially investigated local road conditions, climate characteristics and special requirements for energy transportation, and made a number of targeted optimizations to the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers.
In terms of structural design, the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers adopt high-strength wear-resistant steel to build the tank body. This not only effectively improves the overall load-carrying capacity, with a maximum effective load stably exceeding 30,000 kilograms, but also can resist rain erosion and ultraviolet radiation under Africa’s tropical climate. The scientific design of the 3-axle layout allows the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers to evenly distribute weight while carrying large-capacity oil products. It not only complies with local road axle weight regulations in Gabon but also reduces road wear, greatly improving the stability of long-distance transportation. Considering the rough roads in some areas of Gabon, the R&D team also upgraded the independent suspension system and anti-bump devices for the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers, ensuring that the vehicles can still maintain stable driving under complex road conditions and avoiding safety hazards caused by oil sloshing.
In terms of safety configuration, the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers are equipped with advanced liquid level monitoring systems, emergency cut-off devices and fire and explosion-proof facilities. Every safety component has undergone repeated tests to meet the highest international standards for dangerous goods transportation. The anti-wave plate design inside the tank body can effectively reduce the sloshing impact of oil products during transportation, further improving the driving safety of the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers. In addition, considering the local maintenance conditions in Gabon, Luyi Heavy Industry also simplified the structure of some vulnerable parts for the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers and equipped them with generalized accessories, facilitating daily maintenance by local technicians and reducing long-term use costs.
In the production and manufacturing link, Luyi Heavy Industry’s intelligent production line provides a solid guarantee for the quality of the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers. From steel cutting, tank welding to component assembly, automatic equipment is used throughout the process, and the welding precision error is controlled within 0.1 millimeters, ensuring the quality consistency of each 3-axle oil tank semi-trailer. Before leaving the factory, each 3-axle oil tank semi-trailer undergoes more than 20 inspection processes, including strict water pressure testing, air tightness testing, load testing and road trials. Only when all indicators meet the standards can it be affixed with a qualified mark. Before this shipment, representatives of the Gabonese customer participated in the quality inspection process. When seeing the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers successfully pass various rigorous tests, the customer representatives gave a thumbs-up on the spot and highly recognized the product quality.
The bulk export of the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers is not only an important breakthrough for Luyi Heavy Industry to expand the African market but also of great significance for the upgrading of Gabon’s logistics industry. According to estimates, after this batch of 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers is put into use, the single oil transportation volume of the Gabonese energy logistics group will increase by more than 50%, and the transportation cost can be reduced by nearly 30% while improving transportation efficiency. This will not only help enterprises enhance market competitiveness but also accelerate the development and export process of Gabon’s energy resources, injecting vitality into local economic development. The relevant person in charge of the Gabon Logistics Association stated that the introduction of the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers will set new equipment standards for local logistics enterprises and promote the entire industry to develop in a more efficient, safe and environmentally friendly direction.
The manager of Luyi Heavy Industry’s International Trade Department introduced that this cooperation with the Gabonese customer is the beginning of in-depth cooperation between the two parties. In addition to providing high-quality 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers, the enterprise will also provide supporting comprehensive after-sales services, including dispatching technical personnel to Gabon for operation training, establishing spare parts reserves and providing 24-hour remote technical support, to ensure the long-term stable operation of the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers locally. In the future, Luyi Heavy Industry will take this cooperation as an opportunity to further deepen the African market. According to the needs of different countries and regions, the enterprise will develop more customized logistics equipment products, allowing the “Made in China” 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers to help more African countries in infrastructure construction and logistics industry upgrading.
Today, this batch of 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers full of expectations has arrived at the port and is about to board the cargo ship bound for Gabon. In the wave of globalization, products of “Made in China” like the 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers are crossing mountains and seas with excellent quality and thoughtful services, connecting the cooperation bridge between China and the world, and contributing Chinese strength to the development of more countries. It is believed that in the near future, when these 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers travel on the roads of Gabon, they will surely become a beautiful scenery on the local energy transportation line, witnessing the profound friendship of China-Gabon cooperation and writing a new chapter of “quality going global”.
