SEMI-TRAILER GOOSENECK [1 record]

Record 1 2011-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
DEF

Drop in the semi-trailer side rails between the upper plate and the landing gear.

OBS

The degree of curvature will determine the amount of drop; the major part of the cargo carrying surface will then be single-dropped (without wheelhousing) or double dropped (with wheelhousing).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Camionnage
DEF

Incurvation vers le bas des longerons de la semi-remorque entre la contre-sellette d'attelage et les béquilles.

OBS

Selon le degré d'incurvation, le col-de-cygne produira un décrochement plus ou moins important : la majeure partie de la surface de chargement sera alors soit semi-surbaissée (sans passages de roues) soit surbaissée (avec passages de roues).

Key term(s)
  • col-de-cygne

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transporte por camión
DEF

Semirremolque cuyos largueros están curvados hacia abajo entre la quinta rueda superior y los soportes.

OBS

Según el grado de curvatura, la góndola ocasionará un descenso más o menos pronunciado del bastidor del chasis: la mayor parte de la superficie de carga quedará entonces semirrebajada (lo que no permite el paso de las ruedas), o rebajada (permitiendo el paso de las ruedas).
