Front end size standards for heavy trucks


Heavy-duty trucks have three main front-end size standards: length, width and height.

Length: The length of a heavy truck usually refers to the total length of the vehicle, including the length of the compartment and the tractor head. The length of heavy trucks in China is usually between 6 and 14 meters. Among them, 6-meter-long trucks are suitable for short-distance transportation within the city, while 14-meter-long trucks are more suitable for long-distance road transportation.

Width: The width of a heavy truck usually refers to the width of the compartment. The width of heavy trucks in China is usually between 2.5 and 2.8 meters. This width can meet the needs of most cargo transportation.

Height: The height of a heavy duty truck usually refers to the height of the compartment. The height of heavy trucks in China is usually between 4 and 4.5 meters. This height can meet the needs of most cargo transportation, and also can ensure the driver's vision and comfort.

Specific size standards for different types of heavy trucks
Tractor head: the standard size of the tractor head is 13 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. Different types of semi-trailers also have specific size regulations, for example, one-axle semi-trailer length of 8.6 meters, two-axle semi-trailer length of 10 meters, three-axle semi-trailer length of 13 meters, all types of semi-trailers height is 4 meters.
Large truck front end: The height of large truck front ends varies by model and manufacturer, with common truck front end heights ranging from 3.8 meters to 4.2 meters.
Size differences in actual use
In actual use, the dimensions of heavy trucks may vary depending on the manufacturer, region and specific model. When purchasing or leasing a truck, it is recommended to determine the appropriate size based on actual needs and the specific model.

What is the reason why the brake pads of heavy trucks are not wear-resistant?

Due to friction, the brake pads of heavy trucks will gradually wear out. Generally speaking, the lower the cost, the faster the brake pads will wear out. The brake pads should be replaced in time after the friction material is used, otherwise the steel plate and the brake disc will directly contact, and eventually the braking effect will be lost and the brake disc will be damaged.

Several brake pad problems of heavy truck brake pads

This may be caused by the thinning of the brake pads of heavy trucks, potholes in the brake pads, foreign matter in the brake pads or rust on the brake discs, etc. Generally, the abnormal noise of the brake will be alleviated by stepping on a few more feet.


Do you understand the knowledge in truck brake pads?

Trucks are the main force in my country's logistics and freight industry, and their driving trajectories can be anywhere in the country. For truck drivers and truck bodies, every thousand miles of transportation is a very difficult test. Because the truck's carrying tonnage is relatively large, this has greater requirements for the safety of the vehicle, and many old drivers will choose to make a fuss on the brakes of the truck. Below, truck brake pad manufacturers will explore the knowledge of truck brakes weighing dozens of tons with everyone.
