Extendable flatbed trailer is commonly used to transport very long cargo, like tanks and windmill blades and bridge sections among other similar-like cargo.
To take these loads, the trailer is extended lengthwise. When it is not carrying any load, it needs to be adjusted back to a short length. Its application and use should, however, be based on the stipulated local laws and driving safety.
The transportation industry has different types of vehicles and platforms that are used to meet different demands and needs. One such means of transportation used is the extendable trailer. Just like is the case with other means of transportation, this type of trailer is suited for certain applications. The extension on the trailer is done efficiently take loads that may be of different lengths as the job will demand.
TITAN produces 24m extendable flatbed trailer for the transport of long rails, , containers or other bulk cargos.
Extension length: from 12 meters extend to 24 meters and also custom made extension length to meet different requirements of transport. And the trailer can carry 40ft or 20ft container after it is a closed state.

Here is a detailed description of the key components of the extendable trailer:
1. Trailer Frame
The extendable trailer frame construction features the main beam, half plates to the left side and the right side and a transverse device.The half plates to the left and right side are linked to the main beam by means of the transverse device.The hydraulic gooseneck is attached to the frame head and a hydraulic ladder fitted at the rear section.
2. The Hydraulic System
The basic components of the hydraulic system are hydraulic valve blocks, joints and . The entire system comes with a hydraulic source by means of a power unit. There is also a safety valve installed in the circuit.
The trailer has a hydraulic system that comprises control circuits like the suspension lifting, gooseneck lifting, synchronous steering, lateral adjustment and in lifting the ladder.

3. The Braking System
To further enhance swift operations with the extendable trailer, a braking system is provided. This includes a service brake, a dual-line automobile brake system and a parking brake.
An emergency relay valve, air reservoir, double-brake chamber and a number of specifications for the components connecting to the pipeline.
The supply and control lines are set separately. The most significant components include a connector attached to the tractor.
4. The Gooseneck Feature
The assembly and connection at the gooseneck point is usually made to the tractor saddle via the turntable, the wedge and the traction pin.The trailer's gooseneck feature is a hydraulic part that is usually adjusted through a telescopic expansion of the hydraulic cylinder.
As the tractor rotates, the steering cylinder gets pushed and transmitted to the steering bridge of the trailer via the hydraulic circuit.The steering mechanism towing the extendable trailer is usually attached in the gooseneck.
5. The Steering System
The steering system of an extendable trailer comprises a wheel steering mechanism, gooseneck steering mechanism and a matching hydraulic synchronous control circuit.
The gooseneck steering mechanism makes use of the tractor's rotation in relation to the trailer in order to contract and expand the steering cylinder in a synchronous manner in relation to the wheelset steering mechanism.
This then drives the axle via the steering rod and the turntable.
