They also added 360° steering. [8] They commissioned Scheuerle [9] to develop and build the first units. Deliveries started in 1983. The two companies defined the standard units: a 4-axle SPMT, a 6-axle SPMT and a hydraulic power pack. Over the years, new types of modules were added to this system [4] to accommodate a range of payloads.
A simple approximation to perfect Ackermann steering geometry may be generated by moving the steering pivot points [clarification needed] inward so as to lie on a line drawn between the steering kingpins, which is the pivot point, and the centre of the rear axle. [3] The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar ...
The contract award included a 28-system option that was not exercised. In late-2009 Broshuis from The Netherlands was selected to supply 20 heavy-duty 45,000 kg payload full-width two-axle trailers for use with the 1070F in Afghanistan. [1] The Oshkosh 1070F shares a common chassis and axle set-up with the M1070A0 model.
Tiiger four-axle HMT module at Transporter Industry International headquarters in Haryana, India. A hydraulic modular trailer (HMT) is a special platform trailer unit which feature swing axles, hydraulic suspension, independently steerable axles, two or more axle rows, compatible to join two or more units longitudinally and laterally and uses power pack unit (PPU) to steer and adjust height.

The steering kingpin is held in place by the forked ends of a beam axle on a Ford Model T. The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.
Elaborate ESC and ESP systems (including Roll Stability Control [75]) are available for many commercial vehicles, [76] including transport trucks, trailers, and buses from manufacturers such as Daimler, Scania, [77] and Prevost. [78] In heavy trucks the ESC and ESP functions must be realized as part of the pneumatic brake system. [79]
A forage harvester – also known as a silage harvester, forager or chopper – is a farm implement that harvests forage plants to make silage. [1] Silage is grass, corn or hay, which has been chopped into small pieces, and compacted together in a storage silo, silage bunker, or in silage bags. [2] It is then fermented to provide feed for ...
The tractor and the trailer sections can move at great angles to each other making for a small turning radius. The trailer axle(s) are driven by a drive shaft exiting the rear of the transmission with splines and universal joints to accommodate the movement between them. All axles are portals with hub reduction and locking differentials ...
