Quick answer: this is a 2-axle pneumatic dry bulk tanker — not a tipper. Compressed air fluidises the powder inside a W-shape tank and blows it through a 4 inch hose into the receiving silo, so the trailer never has to raise a body. FUWA 13 t axles and Triangle 12R22.5 tyres are specified because both are the easiest heavy-truck parts to replace in export markets.
Two axles instead of three is a deliberate trade. You lose roughly one axle of carrying capacity and gain a shorter, lighter, cheaper-to-run trailer that turns inside tight cement plant yards and costs less in tyres, brakes and tolls. For distributors running short shuttle legs from a terminal to construction sites, that trade usually pays. For 500 km trunk hauls at maximum legal weight, a three-axle unit normally wins — which is why we build both on the same tank design.
Every unit leaves Liangshan with its own approved GA drawing. Tank volume, shell thickness, silo count, discharge layout and tare weight are all fixed on that drawing before steel is cut, so the trailer you receive matches your axle-load legislation instead of a generic brochure figure.
