ПТС 2ПТС

Purpose and design features of the 2PTS

The 2PTS tractor trailer is a versatile transport vehicle designed for hauling various agricultural and construction loads on public roads and in field conditions. The main design feature is the use of two axles, which allows for even weight distribution and reduced ground pressure. The base model, the 2PTS-4.5, has a carrying capacity of 4.5 tons and is designed for use with tractors of the 0.9–1.4 traction class (e.g., MTZ-80/82, UMZ). The frame is constructed from high-strength steel profiles, ensuring rigidity when operating on uneven terrain.

Chassis and maneuverability

The trailer's chassis is based on two axles, with the front axle equipped with a turntable, ensuring a turning radius that matches the tractor's maneuverability. The use of low-pressure pneumatic tires reduces rutting, which is critical when working on waterlogged soils during planting or harvesting seasons. Wheel hubs are equipped with reinforced bearings designed to handle high dynamic loads when transporting grain, silage, hay, or mineral fertilizers.

Hydraulic system and unloading

The 2PTS platform tilting mechanism is powered by the tractor's hydraulic system. The telescopic hydraulic cylinder provides a tilting angle of up to 50 degrees, ensuring the complete discharge of bulk materials without residue. Unloading is controlled directly from the operator's cabin, which enhances safety and efficiency. The side boards can be opened both from the sides and the rear, facilitating loading and unloading operations using front loaders or grain throwers.

Hitching and braking system

A reliable 'loop-hook' type drawbar device is used to connect the trailer to the tractor. The pneumatic brake system ensures synchronized deceleration of the trailer with the tractor, which is essential to prevent 'jackknifing' when transporting cargo on public roads. The trailer's electrical system includes a full set of signal lights (stop lights, position lights, turn indicators), fully complying with agricultural vehicle road safety regulations.

Operational application in agriculture

The 2PTS trailer is indispensable during the grain harvest cycle, enabling the prompt transfer of crops from the combine to storage or processing facilities. Using it within transport links significantly reduces the downtime of harvesting equipment. Beyond grain, the trailer is actively used for transporting organic fertilizers, hay bales, and construction materials around the farm. High sides, with the option to install extensions, allow for the efficient transport of bulky, low-density materials.

Reliability and maintenance

The structural simplicity of the 2PTS ensures high serviceability. Regular maintenance is limited to checking tire pressure, lubricating hub bearings and pivot points, and periodically inspecting hydraulic lines for leaks. The platform's steel structure is protected by an anti-corrosion coating resistant to aggressive environments such as fertilizers and chemicals. With proper use, the chassis and frame have a service life of tens of thousands of kilometers before a major overhaul is required.

Who this equipment is for

The 2PTS model is an optimal choice for small and medium-sized farms, as well as agricultural holdings requiring maneuverable equipment for internal needs. The trailer's versatility allows for year-round use, minimizing the costs of maintaining a specialized fleet. Thanks to its adaptability to specific farm tasks and compatibility with most popular tractors, this trailer is a fundamental element of technical equipment for any agricultural enterprise.
