Gravity charges give birth to new cards
Multi-wheelbase models will become the new favorite in the freight market
Starting from June 1, 141 toll stations and 483 lanes of the 14 expressways networked in Sichuan Province switched the charge for trucks from the original classification and billing to weighing and billing, and 50% of provinces and cities have started to Implement weight-based charges. According to the new charging method, vehicle tonnage and even body weight are not the same, will affect the logistics costs of logistics companies, and then affect the choice of logistics companies for cargo vehicles. Therefore, according to industry analysts, the domestic truck market will inevitably undergo some new changes with the implementation of the weight-loading method for trucks.
Gravity charges affect transportation costs
According to experts, the newly issued weight-recovery rules are very detailed, with detailed provisions for different road sections, different tonnage models, and different loading capacities. Compared with the previous charging standards, after the implementation of toll-by-weight charges, the transportation costs of logistics companies will generally increase, but the impact of different models will be different. In addition, the new fee standard encourages logistics companies to carry out normal loading through preferential rates, while penalties for overloading transport vehicles are heavier.
Mr. Yang Jinsong, deputy general manager of Sichuan Minsheng, said that compared with other places, Sichuan freight is characterized by "heavy goods and light goods." After implementing toll-by-weight charges, the tolls for different vehicles have risen and fall. From the perspective of the situation, the light and medium trucks engaged in transportation in the interval and in the city are less affected, while the large trucks are more affected. Yang Jinsong believes that due to the fact that most of the major logistics categories in Sichuan are “heavy goodsâ€, the transportation costs of container trucks have increased significantly.
Users favor multi-wheelbase models
During the interview, the reporter found that many logistics companies have made reducing costs the top priority. Liu Jin, of Jinqiao Logistics in Sichuan, said that the company is reducing operating costs by strengthening management and increasing freight rates. In addition, the company will also improve the transportation efficiency and save costs by replacing new models, such as multi-wheel-heavy trucks, semi-tractors, and container trucks.
The deputy general manager of Sichuan People's Livelihood Yang Jinsong believes that in the past, the overloading practices that were popular in the past after implementation of toll-by-weight fees and charges have been impracticable. By increasing management and increasing freight costs, the cost reduction scope is limited. Ultimately, they must purchase new types of trucks that meet the market demand. Solve the problem. According to reports, currently Sichuan logistics companies have conducted in-depth communication with domestic large truck manufacturers such as Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co. through industry associations, hoping that auto companies can quickly introduce products suitable for Sichuan's logistics market demand.
New card will be launched soon
With regard to the implementation of weight-based charging policies, many commercial vehicle manufacturers respond quickly. On June 8th, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Company and more than 20 large-scale logistics companies in Sichuan Province held a summit forum under the theme of “weight-based charging†and listened carefully to the requirements of logistics companies for new-type trucks. Participants believe that light weight, high-load, low fuel consumption, high reliability, and low maintenance cost models will become the new darling of the freight market, especially the market share of multi-wheel container trucks, vans and semi-trailers. It will increase dramatically. In fact, the current sales volume in the truck market has reflected this fact. From January to May this year, trucks sold 209,358 units, a cumulative increase of 63.2% year-on-year. Among them, the number of semi-trailer tractors, heavy-duty trucks and second-class chassis vehicles increased by 123.8%, 52.0% and 36.7% respectively year-on-year. The expansion of the toll-by-weight range stimulated the sales of such models.
Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles said that Dongfeng has already sold relevant models in the market, but for the Sichuan market, it will also launch targeted models to meet business needs. At the same time, many domestic commercial vehicle manufacturers have stated that they will start research and development of related products long ago, and the latest products will soon meet with users.

QUANTUM Bucket Elevators have successfully been installed in a wide range of applications and capacities. From process equipment, handling a few kg /hr to over 2000 t/hr with a vast range of materials. Whether your application requires a heavy-duty high capacity machine or an industrial process elevator for your factory.
We have a wealth of experience in designing the correct bucket elevator for your application and have a standard range of elevators, which can be specifically designed for, more specialised applications.
Our elevators have conveyed high temperature, high wear, abrasive, large lumpy, sticky non-flowing materials, as well as free flowing powders and granules. We supply a standard range of twin chain and belt elevators single or twin bucket design for high capacity applications such as grain, minerals and ore. The selection of the elevator depends on the material characteristics and IBS will be able to advise you and select the elevator most suited to your material and your application.
• Gravity elevators
• Positive discharge elevators
• Central discharge slow speed elevators
• Centrifugal elevators
Gravity Type Bucket Elevator
Quantum supply gravity discharge elevators and positive discharge elevators, supplied as close bucket discharge type, central discharge type, or Idler wheel discharge.
Generally a slow speed design gravity bucket elevator is primarily installed for elevating large lumpy & abrasive material. Our standard units are usually chain driven, either friction drive or toothed sprocket.
These elevators offer reliability with minimum wear & a positive discharge emptying of the bucket.
Centrifugal Type Bucket Elevator
Quantum standard range of centrifugal elevators are the most common type of elevator installed to most industries supplied in both belt type or chain type depending on material characteristic and the capacity being elevated and in some case the feeding method of the elevator.
Conveying type
• Segmented tooth sprocket chain type, twin chain or single dropped forged link chain
• Friction chain type elevators, European rolled chain
• Belt elevator. Using rubber belt or 100% polyester solid woven belt, nylon and steel woven belt Typical Construction
• We supply Single leg or Double leg elevators
• Lagged head Pulley
• Slatted return pulley for sticky materials
