Wheelbase (measured between rotational centers of wheels) Bike geometry parameters: The wheelbase of a bicycle. In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the ...
/ = the fore of the rear axles is steered (pusher axle) * = the rearmost of the rear axles is steered (tag axle) C = number of steered wheels - = separates axle groups and/or different axle functions (6x4-2 is 6x6 with undriven rear axle) Basis is always the standard configuration, meaning a steered front axle and a non-steered driven rear axle.
TTI HS-20 allowed shorter trucks to have higher weight limits than Formula B. For a 3-axle truck with an axle length of 14 feet (4.3 m), the weight limit increased from 46,500 pounds (21,100 kg) to 54,000 pounds (24,000 kg). [29] TTI HS-20 also failed to address the problem of multiple-span bridges. [28]
The 1962 Sisu KB-112/117 was the first European serial produced truck with a hydraulically tiltable cabin, enabling easy access to the engine. A Mack F series truck. In Class 8 tractors (using the US designation), the cab-over design allows the vehicle's wheelbase to be shorter than in the conventional arrangement, wherein the engine is placed in front of the cab, covered by a horizontal or ...
A set-forward or set-back front axle is offered. A set forward axle, with the tires immediately behind a straight bumper, is used when overall length is limited or when wheelbase has to be as long as possible for bridge-formula laws. Set back axles, where the hood extends in front of the axle, are used when maneuverability is more important ...
A ladder frame with beam axles is used and the front axle is set forward on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The set-back axle version was replaced by the Anthem in 2017. The base rear suspension is a Mack tandem (two powered axles) but other axle/suspension combinations are available. Wheelbases are from 166 to 247 inches (420 to 630 cm)
The front axle is a Dana 30 (the rear axle remains Toyota), the transfer case is a Dana 20, and the leaf springs are made by Cambria Spring Co. [17] The engine offered is the 2.2L 20R paired to a 5 speed manual transmission. These trucks were available to be purchased at US Toyota dealerships throughout the country between 1975-1979.
The rear axle of the TT has a worm drive [1] and crown wheel, unlike the Model T's crown wheel and pinion. The worm is located at the end of the drive shaft and above the crown wheel. The wheelbase of the Model TT is 125 inches (3,175 mm), compared to 100 inches (2,540 mm) for the Model T.
