The same car has different prices, why is the difference between semi-trailers so big?

Mar. 17, 2021

First of all, the different dimensions of the same type of semi-trailer such as length, width, height, etc., will cause the effective volume of the trailer box and the body weight to be different, because the main processing material of the trailer is steel, and the price of steel is determined by weight. Direct difference.

Secondly, for trailers of the same type and weight, the price will vary greatly depending on the strength grade of the steel selected.

According to the current market price, high-strength plates will be 1,000 yuan/ton more expensive than ordinary steel. Taking a 13-meter silo as an example, its weight is about 3 tons. The material used is different, and the cost of the whole vehicle will be 3,000 yuan. The price difference between using stainless steel materials will be even greater.

Thirdly, accessories of different brands of materials will directly lead to price differences. For example, the prices of tires of different brands will be different, and there will be differences between air chambers of different materials, aluminum alloys and ordinary carbon steels. Among them, the price of axles of different brands is very different. The difference between foreign brands and domestic brands will be more than 10,000 yuan.

In addition, the price gap is also caused by wheels. Since major car companies have been pursuing lightweight vehicles in recent years, the application of aluminum alloy wheels has become more and more popular with car owners. Weighing records have confirmed that 12 aluminum rims will be more The steel ring is about 240 kilograms lighter, but the price difference will also be nearly 10,000 yuan.

The other is the choice of ABS. Easy installation will be about 1,000 yuan lower than that of well-known domestic brands, and there will be a gap of about 3,000 yuan with imported brands. In fact, considering driving safety, I would advise all car owners to consider carefully.

There is also the whole vehicle light line. There are national and non-national standards on the market, waterproof and ordinary, and side rear lights also have LED and ordinary points. Of course, the cost will be a few hundred yuan.

In other words, even the trailers of the same material and configuration come from different manufacturers, and even with the same processing technology, the price will be different, because the market positioning, brand value and operating cost of different manufacturers are different, just like the same bottle of purified water. The prices of small street shops will definitely be different from those in large supermarkets in the city center.

All in all, under the premise that the pricing mechanism is reasonable, we still fulfilled our old saying, one cent for the price, one for the goods, but there are also some manufacturers selling dog meat with sheep’s heads, deceiving consumers, and trailers. It is a money-making tool for car owners to survive. Therefore, when choosing a trailer, you must be cautious and not just look at the price, let alone blindly pursue brand worship. It is still necessary to tailor the vehicle to suit your own actual situation. In fact, the right one is the best.
