Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A semi-trailer is a trailer without a front axle. A large proportion of its weight is supported by a tractor unit, a detachable front axle assembly known as a dolly, or the tail of another trailer.
A semi-trailer is normally equipped with landing gear (legs which can be lowered) to support it when it is uncoupled.
Semi-Trailers are more popular for transport than full trailers, which have both front and rear axles. Ease of backing is cited as one of the semi's chief advantages.
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.
