Introduction
Have you ever thought that you can also see cool LED displays on three-wheeled trucks shuttling through the streets and alleys? These screens not only make information dissemination lively and interesting, but also bring new ways to commercial promotion, public services, etc.
So, can a three-wheeled truck really become a carrier for mobile LED displays? This article will take you to find out, from technology, cost to regulations, and analyze the feasibility of this idea in all aspects.
1. A brief introduction to mobile truck LED displays
In short, mobile truck LED displays are an outdoor advertising and information publishing platform that integrates advanced LED display technology and mobile communication technology.
It is usually installed on movable carriers such as large trucks and trucks, and uses a high-resolution screen composed of LED lamp arrays to display dynamic images, videos and texts.
It is generally used in the following aspects:
- Information dissemination:
As a “mobile window” for urban information, mobile truck LED displays can instantly and widely disseminate various social news, government announcements, emergency notices, etc., and enhance the public’s ability to obtain information.
For example, during the US election, both candidates liked to use mobile truck LED displays for mobile broadcasts when they gave speeches in various states, hoping to further expand their influence.
- Advertising:
The dynamic and eye-catching display effect of the mobile truck LED display makes it an ideal choice for brand promotion, product launch, and event announcement.
Because the mobile truck LED display is a mobile promotional device, it can effectively enhance brand awareness and market influence, so it is very popular.
For example, it can create momentum for large-scale events such as concerts, sports events, and movie premieres, stimulate public interest in advance, and attract on-site participation.
- Emergency response:
In emergencies, such as natural disasters and public safety incidents, mobile truck LED displays can be quickly transformed into emergency information dissemination tools, provide early warning information, evacuation instructions, etc., to assist in emergency response.
For example, timely release of weather changes, such as heavy rain, high temperature, and other early warning information, can remind the public to take precautions. Or, during holidays and around schools, play public service advertisements such as safe travel, fire prevention, and theft prevention to enhance public safety awareness.
2. Feasibility analysis of installing mobile LED screens on three-wheeled trucks
1). Technical considerations
1.1). Selection of LED screens
When you consider installing LED screens on three-wheeled trucks, the first thing to consider is the size and weight of the screen.
A screen that is too large will not only increase the burden on the three-wheeled truck, but may also affect driving safety. Therefore, we need to choose a screen that is both lightweight and can meet the needs of publicity.
At the same time, the display effect of the screen is also very important, including parameters such as resolution, brightness and contrast, which will directly affect the audience’s viewing experience.
1.2). Determination of the installation location
The selection of the installation location needs to be cautious, ensuring that the screen can attract the audience’s attention but also cannot block the driver’s line of sight, let alone affect the normal driving of the three-wheeled truck.
You can choose to install the display screen on the side or rear of the car, which is conspicuous and does not affect driving safety.
1.3). Power and signal line processing
The display screen requires a stable power supply and signal transmission. Therefore, during the installation process, you need to ensure that the power and signal lines are firmly and reliably connected to avoid loosening or damage to the lines due to vibration or friction during driving.
At the same time, in order to protect the lines from damage from the external environment, you can also take some additional protective measures, such as using waterproof, dustproof and wear-resistant cable jackets.
2). Economic analysis
2.1). Cost comparison
Before considering installing an LED display screen, you need to compare the cost of the display screen with the value of the three-wheeled truck. If the cost of the display screen is too high and the value of the three-wheeled truck is relatively low, then installing the display screen may not be cost-effective.
Therefore, you need to comprehensively consider the cost-effectiveness and long-term benefits of the display screen to ensure that the investment can get a reasonable return.
2.2). Operational benefits and costs
After installing the LED display screen, you can obtain operational benefits through advertising revenue. However, this does not mean that we can ignore the operating costs.
Operational costs include the energy consumption cost of the display screen, maintenance costs, and possible approval and licensing fees. We need to calculate and analyze these costs in detail to ensure the profitability of the project.
3). Compliance with regulations and standards
3.1). Compliance of modification plan
Before modification, you need to understand and comply with relevant traffic regulations and standards. This includes vehicle safety standards, environmental protection standards, and approval requirements of the traffic management department.
Only when we ensure that the modification plan meets these standards and requirements can we carry out the modification work?
3.2). Necessary approval and permission
Before modification, you need to submit the modification plan to the traffic management department, and the modification can only be carried out after approval and permission.
During the modification process, you need to strictly abide by relevant regulations and standards to ensure the legality and safety of the modification work.
After the modification is completed, you also need to conduct vehicle inspection and acceptance to ensure that the modified three-wheeled truck meets the relevant standards and requirements.
3. Pay attention to these things when installing LED screens on three-wheeled trucks
1). Body size and load-bearing capacity
As for three-wheeled trucks, as we all know, they are small and can shuttle freely in small alleys. But because of this, if you want to install a large LED screen on it, you have to consider the body size and load-bearing capacity. The screen cannot be too big or too heavy.
Otherwise, the car will be unstable when driving, and it may even crush the car. Therefore, you have to choose a screen of the right size and make sure that the car can carry it steadily.
2). Power and stability
Some three-wheeled trucks are fueled by oil, while others are powered by electricity. Fuel-powered vehicles have sufficient power and can travel far; electric vehicles are environmentally friendly, but they need to be charged frequently. Regardless of the type of vehicle, it is important to drive it steadily.
After the screen is installed on the vehicle, the car may shake when driving fast, or the road surface is uneven, affecting the viewing effect and even causing safety problems. Therefore, you must ensure that the car is stable when driving and that the screen is fixed firmly.
3). Regulations and safety
Modified vehicles must comply with traffic regulations, and three-wheeled trucks are no exception. If you want to install an LED screen, you must first ask the traffic management department if it is okay, and you must also ensure that the modified vehicle meets safety standards.
4). Accurate measurement and positioning
Size matching: Make sure that the size of the purchased LED display matches the installation position of the three-wheel truck to avoid installation difficulties or poor results due to size mismatch.
Accurate positioning: Before installation, use a measuring tool to accurately measure the installation position of the display to ensure that the display can be installed correctly and will not block the driver’s line of sight.
5). Fixing and connection
Firmly fix: Use high-quality fixings (such as bolts, nuts, etc.) to firmly fix the display on the three-wheel truck to prevent the display from shaking or falling off during driving.
Cable management: When connecting the power and signal cables, ensure that the cables are neatly and orderly fixed to the vehicle body to avoid malfunctions caused by loose or damaged cables during driving.
6). Dust and moisture-proof
Sealing treatment: Seal the display screen around its installation location to prevent dust and moisture from entering the display screen, affecting its service life and display effect.
Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the dust and moisture-proof measures of the display screen are effective, and replace or repair them in time if necessary.
7). Maintenance and care
Regular cleaning: Clean the display screen regularly to keep its surface clean and tidy to improve the display effect and service life.
Check the fixings: Regularly check whether the fixings on the display screen are loose or damaged. If there are any abnormalities, replace or repair them in time.
It is worth noting that installing an LED display screen on a three-wheeled truck is actually a relatively technical test, so if you are not a professional, we recommend that you find a professional to install it and pay attention to safety.
Conclusion
In general, the idea of installing a mobile LED display on a three-wheeled truck is pretty cool and feasible.
As long as it is designed and managed properly, the three-wheeled truck can be transformed into a city’s information messenger, providing more diverse choices for businesses and public service agencies.
