Function of a RoRo Trailer: A type of flatbed trailer specifically designed for loading cargo onto Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessels-internationally referred to as a MAFI trailer.
A RoRo trailer is a wheeled flatbed trailer (also known as a roll trailer) specifically engineered for the transport of heavy or oversized vehicles. It does not possess self-unloading capabilities, nor does it require a separate towing vehicle to maneuver it into or out of the ship's cargo hold.
The RoRo trailer features a unique structural design that serves a dual purpose: it securely anchors the cargo to the trailer itself while simultaneously facilitating the convenient lashing of the trailer to the deck of the RoRo vessel.
One of the primary advantages of utilizing RoRo trailers for transport is their extensive range of lengths-spanning from 6.1 meters to 24.6 meters-which offers greater flexibility for transporting a diverse array of cargo types, such as boats, yachts, trailers, heavy machinery, or other non-standard-sized shipments.
