TO THE ISSUE OF EQUIPPING A CATEGORY O2 TRAILER TRAIN

In recent years, enterprises and private manufacturers of Ukraine have mastered the production of a wide range of trailers. Today, trailer manufacturers offer a wide range of various designs, including those with large dimensions and strong sides. Thanks to this, the devices can transport not only bulky goods, but also those that are not recommended for transportation in the car cabin. The trailer, in particular a multifunctional one, will become indispensable for the transportation of construction materials, the removal of garbage and other waste after repairs, the transportation of heavy equipment, office and household furniture, etc. In the production of multi-functional trailers of the PVBF type, the main component products (running and braking systems, coupling devices, parking risers, winches, element base for fixing sides and doors, etc.) manufactured by the companies "Knott", "AI-Ko Kober", " Reynolds transport systems (Europe)", "Aluvan", etc., which meet modern certification requirements. For these trailers, the general characteristics of the mass and dimensional parameters of the five main groups of the standard size series, which differ in gross weight (1500, 2000,……3500 kg) and trailer base (2500...5000 mm), are defined. Taking into account that the weight of the trailer should not exceed the weight of the towing vehicle, you can choose your own towing vehicle for each group of the size series. When choosing a traction vehicle, you should proceed from the condition of ensuring the movement of the road train at maximum speed. Under this condition, the maximum engine power of the traction vehicle for a road train with a trailer weight of 1,500 to 3,500 kg is determined. The obtained power of the motor train engine for the entire standard-sized series of trailers is significantly less than the real power of the traction vehicle engine. Therefore, the traction vehicle must be selected based on mass indicators from the vehicles that are operated in Ukraine
