We recently had the pleasure of working with a Nigerian client referred to us by one of our loyal, long-standing customers. This client operates a bauxite and mineral-related business and was looking for a reliable heavy-duty transport solution for bauxite, iron ore, and other materials. After a thorough assessment of their business needs, we recommended our 4-axle, 70-ton dump semi-trailer, a product that has already received outstanding feedback from other customers.
This dump semi-trailer proved to be the ideal choice, thanks to its impressive load capacity and meticulous design that matches the specific demands of hauling heavy materials. The client was highly satisfied with the trailer’s configuration and the competitive pricing we offered as a gesture of goodwill for their referral through our valued customer. Their enthusiasm led to a swift payment arrangement, and we’re confident this trailer will be a vital asset to their operations.

Optimized Design for Local Regulations
We take customer-specific needs and regional requirements into account when designing our trailers. For this Nigerian client, we equipped the trailer with an air-suspension front axle to comply with local regulations and optimize functionality:
- Reduced Tire Wear: When unladen, the front axle can be raised, minimizing tire wear and lowering tire replacement frequency.
- Lower Fuel Consumption: Lifting the front axle also reduces fuel usage, saving operational costs over time.
- Regulatory Compliance: The adjustable axle design helps clients adhere to local regulations on load limits for three- and four-axle semi-trailers, avoiding penalties for overloading.
Designed for Heavy-Duty Workloads
Since the client’s business involves frequent loading and unloading of heavy iron ore and minerals, we prioritized durability and efficiency in the trailer design by incorporating HYVA lift cylinders.
- HYVA equipment is specifically built for the rigorous demands of heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering, even during continuous, high-frequency use.
- Known for their durability and low-maintenance requirements, HYVA lift cylinders maintain operational efficiency even if servicing is delayed, a critical factor for heavy-duty operations.
Our 4-axle, 70-ton dump semi-trailer has proven to be an indispensable tool for businesses requiring powerful, efficient, and reliable transportation solutions. This latest delivery to our Nigerian client adds to the growing list of companies that trust us for their heavy-duty transport needs.
