Semi-trailer freight

The semi-trailer is the largest, highest-capacity member of the Mehr Tarabar fleet. Whenever your load is heavy or bulky, or your route is long, a semi-trailer offers the lowest cost per tonne, from full loads between provinces to ports, borders and neighbouring countries.

How much can a Mehr Tarabar semi-trailer carry?

If your cargo exceeds a three-axle truck (about 12–15 t), or you want to ship the whole load at once without splitting it, a semi-trailer is the best option.

Semi-trailer body types at Mehr Tarabar

• Curtain-side and side-opening: the most common semi-trailer for general cargo, cartons, pallets and factory goods; easy forklift loading from the side, with a curtain against rain and dust.
• Flatbed: a flat deck with no walls for heavy machinery, industrial equipment, steel beams, pipes, metal structures and long or unpackaged loads.
• Tipper: for bulk materials such as gravel, sand, soil and stone, unloaded in one go by raising the body.
• Refrigerated: an insulated body with a cooling unit for food, dairy, meat, fruit and medicine; keeps the cold chain intact on long routes.
• Tanker: for liquids such as fuel, oils and permitted chemicals; the tank must be compatible with the liquid.

Who is the semi-trailer for?

• Factories and manufacturers: shipping products to distribution centres and other cities, and receiving raw materials in volume.
• Traders and exporters: moving cargo from ports and customs, and shipping to neighbouring countries and Central Asia.
• Contractors and infrastructure projects: steel, building materials, machinery and site equipment.
• Distributors and retail chains: moving goods between central warehouses in different cities.
• Food and agricultural producers: refrigerated transport of fresh and frozen products over long distances.

Why a Mehr Tarabar semi-trailer?

• Lowest cost per tonne: for heavy loads on long routes, one semi-trailer is cheaper than several smaller trucks.
• All in one: the whole load travels in one vehicle, with less handling and less damage.
• Built for distance: designed for interprovincial routes, ports, borders and international road freight.
• Range of bodies: curtain-side, flatbed, refrigerated, tanker and more, for almost any heavy load.

When a semi-trailer isn’t the right fit

• Loads smaller than a truckload; a Khavar or two- or three-axle truck is more economical.
• Destinations with narrow streets, old town centres or heavy-vehicle restrictions; the load may need transferring to a smaller vehicle at the city edge.
• Super-heavy or oversized loads that need special permits and escorts, which must be planned separately.

Before you book a semi-trailer

• Give the exact weight and dimensions; overloading is both dangerous and fined.
• Describe the cargo so Mehr Tarabar can suggest the right body: curtain-side, flatbed, tipper, refrigerated or tanker.
• Check loading facilities at origin (forklift, crane, dock) and access for a semi-trailer in advance.
• For temperature-sensitive goods, state the required range before loading.
• Don’t forget cargo insurance and the waybill; the Mehr Tarabar team helps with both.

Capacities are approximate and depend on the number of axles, body type and official weight limits. In the quote form, choose “Semi-trailer” as the fleet type and the right body, and the Mehr Tarabar team will suggest the best option.

With Mehr Tarabar semi-trailers, your heavy and bulky loads travel in one go, safely and at the lowest cost per tonne, anywhere in Iran and beyond its borders.
