WHAT DOES SEMITRAILER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

semitrailer

Semi-trailer

A semi-trailer is a trailer without a front axle. A large proportion of its weight is supported by a road tractor, a detachable front axle assembly known as a dolly, or the tail of another trailer. A semi-trailer is normally equipped with landing gear to support it when it is uncoupled. A road tractor coupled to a semi-trailer is often called a semi-trailer truck or semi in the US and an articulated lorry or artic in the UK. The fifth wheel on a truck connects to a semi trailer Kingpin. Kingpins come in many guises, however the most common within the UK market is the 2.0 in EEC approved type. This Kingpin is fully interchangeable and, given a strict maintenance schedule, it should last the life of a trailer. In Australian English, the tractor unit is usually referred to as a prime-mover; and the combination of a prime-mover and trailer is known as a semi-trailer or semi. Semi-trailers with two trailer units are called B-Doubles, and in some cases, road trains.
