An articulated truck is a type of heavy vehicle designed for transporting goods. It consists of two main parts: a tractor unit that contains the engine and a trailer that carries the cargo. The two sections are connected by a pivoting joint, allowing for better maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. These trucks are commonly used in construction, mining, and other industries where heavy loads need to be moved over rough terrain. Their design helps distribute weight more evenly, reducing the risk of damage to roads and improving stability while driving.
