Semi-Trailer, Dumps, Flat decks etc no longer fixed to truck chassis:
Q. Can I use my tractor with different configurations like Dump bodies, Flat decks, and tanks? A. Yes, the body operates without a frame, integrating a kingpin coupler, one axle, and landing gear.
Q. What tractor specifications are most compatible with a d-TRAiN set up? A. Mostly day-cabs and specific sleeper tractors with a straight frame are optimal.
Q. Is it feasible to pull a second trailer using a d-TRAiN dump truck? A. Yes, the rear cross member package provides a solid base for the pintle hitch.
Q. How does the box rotate over the rear hinge to unload the cargo? A. There isn’t a hinge; the dump body frame rotates over the rear axle.
Q. Can I employ a d-TRAiN equipped tractor to haul a semi-trailer? A. Yes, the modifications to the tractor are minor and it will tow any semi-trailer.
Q. Will I require a class “A” license with a “Z” endorsement to operate a d-TRAiN tractor? A. No, d-TRAiN tractors only need a “D” license (for straight trucks). A “Z” endorsement is required if the vehicle is fitted with air brakes.
