Recently, a batch of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers from Shandong LUYI Heavy Industry was loaded at Qingdao Port and officially departed for Libya. These 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers embodying the strength of "Shandong Intelligent Manufacturing" will be accurately delivered to key engineering and construction enterprises in Libya, serving as a crucial transportation force supporting the local infrastructure recovery and energy development. As a core product launched by LUYI Heavy Industry for the overseas heavy-duty transportation market, 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers stood out in the competition for this Libyan order with superior load-bearing capacity and reliable performance, once again verifying the competitiveness of Chinese heavy-duty equipment in the international market.
In recent years, Libya has been striving to promote infrastructure restoration and energy industry upgrading, leading to an increasing demand for transporting heavy cargo such as large engineering machinery and steel components. Through in-depth preliminary research on local road conditions, climate characteristics, and engineering transportation scenarios in Libya, LUYI Heavy Industry customized this 8-axle lowboy semi-trailer for customers. 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers adopt T700/Q345 high-strength steel for the main beam, and the 8-axle force distribution design not only enables the vehicle to achieve an 80-ton load capacity but also effectively reduces pressure on the road surface, adapting to some incompletely restored road conditions in Libya. Meanwhile, the anti-slip platform and dual-line braking system equipped on 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers can ensure transportation safety in complex environments with high sandstorms and large temperature differences on the edge of deserts, fully meeting local practical operational needs.
"The key to this cooperation lies in the high adaptability of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers to Libya's engineering scenarios," said the person in charge of LUYI Heavy Industry's Overseas Business Department. To better integrate 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers into the local operational system, the enterprise team not only optimized the anti-corrosion process and tire configuration of the product but also made humanized adjustments to the control system of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers according to the operating habits of Libyan customers. During the production process, LUYI Heavy Industry strictly followed international heavy-duty equipment manufacturing standards, and each 8-axle lowboy semi-trailer underwent multiple rounds of load testing, braking performance testing, and weather resistance experiments to ensure zero defects in the delivered products. From order signing to product offline, the enterprise completed customized production in only 45 days, and its efficient response capability won high recognition from Libyan customers.
The bulk export of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers to Libya this time is not only an important breakthrough for LUYI Heavy Industry in expanding the African market but also a vivid epitome of "Shandong-made" heavy-duty equipment going global. As one of the major gathering places for China's heavy-duty semi-trailer industry, Shandong boasts a complete equipment manufacturing industrial chain, providing solid support for the R&D and manufacturing of high-quality 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers from the supply of high-strength steel to the production of core components. Rooted in Shandong for many years, LUYI Heavy Industry has continuously invested in the R&D of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers and other heavy-duty equipment relying on local industrial advantages, successively overcoming multiple technical difficulties such as heavy-load structure optimization and multi-axle synchronous braking, and forming a core technology system with independent intellectual property rights.
To ensure the smooth operation of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers in Libya, LUYI Heavy Industry has also set up a professional overseas service team. The team will go to Libya together with 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers to provide customers with full-process services including equipment installation and commissioning, operation technical training, and post-maintenance. Team members are not only familiar with the structural principles and maintenance skills of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers but also proficient in Arabic and local commonly used communication languages, enabling them to quickly respond to various customer needs. "We not only need to deliver high-quality 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers to customers but also let customers use the products with peace of mind," said the Director of After-Sales Service at LUYI Heavy Industry. The enterprise will take this cooperation as an opportunity to establish long-term service stations in Libya, laying the foundation for the subsequent operation and maintenance of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers and the promotion of other products.
Driven by the "Belt and Road" Initiative, economic and trade cooperation between China and African countries has become increasingly close. As a core support for engineering construction, heavy-duty equipment has become an important field of China-Africa cooperation. The 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers exported by LUYI Heavy Industry this time are a "precision supply" that meets the needs of Libya's engineering market. It is reported that in addition to the delivered order, a number of engineering enterprises from Libya and neighboring countries have reached preliminary cooperation intentions with LUYI Heavy Industry, hoping to introduce 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers and other heavy-duty transportation equipment.
The overseas journey of 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers has also brought new development ideas to LUYI Heavy Industry. The enterprise stated that in the future, it will focus on the African market, continue to deepen the research on transportation scenarios in different countries and regions, and launch more customized 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers and related heavy-duty equipment products. Meanwhile, LUYI Heavy Industry will further strengthen cooperation with internationally renowned logistics enterprises and engineering general contractors, build a global sales and service network, and let "Shandong-made" 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers play a role in more international projects, contributing to Sino-foreign economic and trade cooperation and industrial upgrading. As these 8-axle lowboy semi-trailers are gradually put into use in Libya, the quality and service of Chinese heavy-duty equipment will be known to more international customers, building a bridge for more "China Intelligent Manufacturing" equipment to go global in the future.
