Dongfeng KR Transport Excavator Machinery Flatbed Transportation Truck

The Dongfeng KR is a popular medium to heavy-duty truck platform frequently used as the chassis for flatbed transportation trucks, specifically designed to haul heavy machinery like excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and road rollers.

These specialized vehicles are often referred to as low-flatbed transport trucks, excavator carrier trucks, or flatbed trailers.

A Dongfeng KR transport truck, specifically designed for hauling construction machinery like excavators, is a flatbed truck with a low-slung platform and a ramp for loading. These trucks are commonly used in construction, agriculture, and other industries requiring the transport of heavy, non-detachable equipment.

The flatbed platform provides a stable and spacious surface for loading and transporting various machinery. A tilting or hydraulic ramp at the rear of the truck allows for easy loading and unloading of excavators and other equipment. These trucks are designed to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for transporting excavators, loaders, and other construction machinery. Flatbed transport trucks are versatile and can transport a range of equipment, including excavators, loaders, forklifts, and harvesters.

Reinforced Chassis and Axles:

• The trucks are built on heavy-duty chassis frames with reinforced cross-members to withstand the stress of heavy, unevenly distributed loads.
• They feature heavy-duty axles, often with hub reduction, to handle high payload capacities (e.g., 13-ton to 16-ton rear axles are common).

Specialized Flatbed Deck:

• Material: The deck is typically made of high-strength checkered steel plate (often 8mm to 10mm thick) for maximum durability and anti-slip properties.
• Telescopic Deck (Optional): Many models offer a flatbed that can be manually or hydraulically extended laterally, increasing the width from 2.5 meters up to 3.0 meters to accommodate oversized excavator tracks or construction machinery.

Loading and Unloading Mechanisms:

• Heavy-Duty Ramps: The rear of the flatbed features a ramp (or a pair of ramps/ladders) for machinery to climb onto the deck. These can be:
• Mechanical Spring-Assisted: Manual operation with heavy-duty springs for easier lifting.
• Hydraulic: For completely effortless folding and deployment of the ramps.
• Outriggers/Front Lifting (Optional): Some heavy-duty models are equipped with hydraulic lift outriggers (or front lifting systems) to slightly raise the front of the flatbed, creating a shallower ramp angle for easier loading of low-clearance equipment.

Cabin and Performance (KR/KL Series):

• The Dongfeng KR/KL cab offers a functional and relatively modern work environment, often including a single sleeper berth, air conditioning, and power steering for driver comfort during long hauls.

The Dongfeng KR platform is widely used for various flatbed and specialized transport applications, resulting in multiple configurations. The following technical data represents a typical heavy-duty Dongfeng flatbed truck for excavator and machinery transport, often configured as a 6x4 or 8x4 model.
