An articulated hauler, articulated dump truck (ADT), or sometimes a dump hauler, is a very large heavy-duty type of dump truck used to transport loads over rough terrain, and occasionally on public roads. The vehicle usually has all-wheel drive and consists of two basic units: the front section, generally called the tractor, and the rear ...
An articulated vehicle is a vehicle which has a permanent or semi-permanent coupling in its construction. This coupling works as a large pivot joint , allowing it to bend and turn more sharply. There are many kinds, from heavy equipment to buses , trams and trains .
In some applications a semi can pull additional full trailers (doubles and triples) with the use of a single axle or tandem axle converter dolly. [10] The use of the term "semi" in the name comes from the semi-trailer, a vehicle whose load is carried partly by its own axles and partly by the pulling vehicle, which is commonly included in ...
The WABCO 3200 was a rare example of a tri-axle haul truck configuration A medium sized haul truck, the 214-short-ton (194 t; 191-long-ton) Caterpillar 789 [1]. Most haul trucks have a two-axle design, but two well-known models from the 1970s, the 350T Terex Titan and 235T WABCO 3200/B, had three axles.
Articulated dump truck or dumper. An articulated dumper is an all-wheel-drive, off-road dump truck. It has a hinge between the cab and the dump box but is distinct from a semi-trailer truck in that the power unit is a permanent fixture, not a separable vehicle.

Tracked articulated vehicles typically steer by actuating the linkage connecting the cars of an articulated tracked vehicle. This linkage, called the train joint, uses hydraulic actuators [ 1 ] to position the front vehicle in an opposing direction to the rear one, and curves the direction of travel this way. [ 2 ]
