Tractor

4 * 2 drive tractor

A 4 * 2 tractor refers to a type of tractor with four wheels and two of the wheels being drive wheels, commonly used to tow semi-trailers for cargo transportation. This type of tractor has the following characteristics:

1. Flexibility and handling: Compared to 6 * 4 or other multi axle drive tractors, 4 * 2 tractors have fewer axles and drive wheels, lighter overall weight, and smaller turning radius, making them more flexible to operate on urban roads, narrow streets, or warehouse areas, making them easier to drive and control.

2. Fuel economy: Due to its lighter self weight and fewer drive wheels, 4 * 2 tractors typically have better fuel economy. When the load is not particularly heavy or the road conditions are good, it can reduce operating costs.

3. Scope of application: 4 * 2 tractor is more suitable for medium and short distance transportation and long-distance transportation with good road conditions, especially for logistics scenarios that do not require high cargo weight but require fast response and high-frequency delivery, such as express delivery, light foam transportation, etc.

4. Load capacity: Compared to multi axle drive tractors, the direct load capacity of a 4 * 2 tractor is relatively weak because it relies on two driving wheels to provide power. Therefore, it is more suitable for transporting goods with lighter weight or larger volume and relatively dispersed weight.

5. Maintenance cost: Due to the relatively simple mechanical structure and fewer driving system components, the daily maintenance and repair costs of a 4 * 2 tractor are usually lower.

In summary, 4 * 2 tractors play an important role in the logistics industry due to their flexibility, economy, and suitability for light cargo transportation, especially in application scenarios that do not require heavy loads or extreme traction.
