Fast Retarder protects plateau life

In September 2015, Fast Company sent an on-site inspection of the Qinghai market and learned that the road conditions in Qinghai, which are located in the hinterland of the plateau, are treacherous and the frequency of long-range urgency is high. It is imminent for heavy-duty commercial vehicles and equipment retarders . The Fast Retarder, with its excellent quality, is increasingly gaining customers' love and casting a strong life safety line for drivers who rush to the Qinghai Plateau.

Fast Retarder: The Guardian of Life in the Qinghai Plateau

Dangerous, everywhere

"On April 25, 2015, Heilongjiang driver Xu Moumou drove the black AE64 ** warehouse heavy-duty truck from West to East to 79Km+300m (long downhill section) along the Huaijiao Class I highway, due to speeding failure A collision with the Qing A3955 ** heavy truck and the 316 ** heavy truck driving in the same direction ahead of schedule resulted in Xu Moumu’s death on the spot, Li Moumou was injured, and the three vehicles suffered serious traffic accidents.”

On the afternoon of September 7, when the author visited the local market with the director of the office of Fast Xining, he saw such an accident case in the publicity column at the top of the forced flooding station on the top of the first-grade highway in the Louyuan (Luyuan-Luohe River). The warning picture is shocking.

For the sake of safety, the local traffic police department set up a water tank detection and filling station specially. The heavy vehicles in the past must be checked in turn, and the water tank can only be released after it is fully loaded. Otherwise, water must be added.

The first time I saw this level, it was curious, so I asked why. The traffic police pointed to the sign saying "The country's top ten dangerous road sections" was pointing to a road that was stumped down and was 27 kilometers long. It was a downhill road and there was often a series of car crashes. "This road has been repaired." In seven or eight years, more than 1,000 people have already died!” The traffic police continued to say: “Most (accidents) are due to these (car) brakes...”

Afterwards, we experienced the “terrorism” of the first grade highway and found that the traffic police made it clear that the long slope was connected to one and the scenery on both sides of the road did not change much and it was difficult to refer to. The road is flat and the road conditions look good. Inexperienced drivers will relax and speed up. However, at the same time, we noticed that the billboards for “40 km speed limit for trucks and 60 km for buses” can be seen everywhere, “please cool down the braking system”, “emergency stop”, “long distance downhill, pay attention to safety”, and “accident-prone road sections. Please drive carefully and wait for an average of 200 meters. For heavy vehicles with heavy loads, this road is a lingering nightmare.

Safe, imminent

Dunrwein is a truck driver who travels every day on the first grade highway, and is also the first user of a hydraulic retarder equipped with Fast in Qinghai Province.

Master Deng, aged 41, native of Xining, has been awarded a driver's license since 1998. He has been a heavy-duty driver for 17 years. His daily task is to transport sand between Xining and Sun Moon Mountain for construction site use. Two round trips a day, nearly 12 hours.

From Xining to Sun Moon Mountain, the distance is more than 100 kilometers and the altitude is more than 1000 meters above sea level. The natural scenery along the way is magnificent. Master Deng, who was on the move for his livelihood, had no time to take into consideration the scenery outside the car window, and placed his mind on the “death road” that was a startling move.

"Before using the retarder, go downhill and the speed must be limited to 15 yards or less." If you run a little faster, you will need to step on the brakes. "Brakes are stepped on and you are afraid of failure." Master Deng expressed the majority Heavy truck driver voice.

In 2014, Master Deng decided to buy a heavy-duty dump truck from Shaanxi Heavy Duty Auto DeLong F3000, equipped with a 12-liter Weichai engine and a 10-speed transmission with a hydraulic retarder. Today, he basically does not have to step on the brakes when he goes downhill, and the speed is more than doubled. The speed of “pulling wind” attracted the envy of peers.

When asked how many days of rest can be taken each week, Master Deng gave a stern grin, "break? Take a rest during the day and pull at night and pull during the rest of the day." Hard work goes without saying that, fortunately, the use of the retarder helps to a large extent He reduced the labor intensity.

Regarding the price, the author asked him: "The car equipped with a retarder should cost nearly 20,000 yuan. Didn't you worry about it before you bought it?"

Master Deng Erwen answered very simply. “You have regarded 20,000 as heavy. How much was the loss of an accident?” Obviously, safety is his primary consideration.

“Moreover, my car replaced the brake pads only four or five months ago and replaced them for RMB 1,000. Other vehicles (without re-tarders installed) were changed once a month. If the money was added to water, they would be put in a year. Qiangsheng is back." He counted his accounts seriously.

After a short conversation, we boarded the driver's cabin of Master Deng's dump truck and experienced it. I saw Master Deng Erwen skillfully lighting, gearing, and stepping on the gas. The car gradually exited the city and entered the climbing section. After reaching a small hilltop, Master Deng will turn the car and officially start the retarder "dance show." Hanging gear, refueling, adding gear, refueling ... The speed is gradually increasing, reaching the fastest speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Immediately afterwards, he told us to dial the small retarder shift lever at the bottom right of the steering wheel. Please concentrate on it and feel it carefully.

In one gear, the speed is kept constant;

Second gear, lower speed feel more clear;

In the third gear, the braking force was clearly felt and the speed was reduced to 30 yards or less;

Fourth gear, the vehicle speed is completely reduced.

Five blocks, Master Deng said that he dared not hang five blocks because there were many vehicles on the road at that time and the braking force was too great. The vehicles would almost stop and affect road traffic.

During the demonstration, the plain Master Deng showed a proud look on his face, and it was clear that he was very satisfied with the brake performance of the Fast retarder.

In the Qinghai region, there are many dangerous roads similar to those of the First Grade Highway, and local mineral resources are concentrated. The transportation volume is large and the roads are mainly sloped. For heavy-duty commercial vehicles, the installation of retarders is imminent. Deng Erwen said that in his surroundings there are many drivers who are basically transporting goods for the mining area and the need for safety is very urgent. When he loaded the retarder, he was often consulted for "security tips."
