Truck Transmission Repair

When it comes to truck transmissions, the more transmission – the better is it! Heavy Haulers generally opt for an 18-speed manual transmission

When it comes to truck transmissions, the more transmission – the better off you are!  Heavy haulers generally opt for an 18-speed manual transmission. There are also two-speed auxiliary transmissions or two-speed rear axles to choose from. These  truck transmissions provide improved startability and driveability.

Two-speed auxiliary truck transmissions double the reduction, and two-speed rear axles increase reduction by approximately 33%.

If you want to keep your truck out of the repair shop, then it is a good idea to examine driver performance.  When trying to keep truck repairs to a minimum, it is essential that truck drivers have all of the necessary truck parts to do the job.

Heavy haul truck operators have to be certain that they have as much glass area as possible and plenty of mirrors such as 4-way adjustable, cowl-mounted mirrors in addition to convex mirrors are recommended.  Mirrors may also need to be readjusted periodically to be sure that they remain aligned.

Truck parts need to be replaced often.  Windshields for example need to be replaced at least once per year.

Trucking Industry Features More Advancements in Technology

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

In a recent FixonRoad.com™ blog entry, it was reported that tractor trailer and body makers have been increasing spending on research and development to advance truck parts and truck products to improve efficiency.

Steerable Axles Truck Parts

Powered steerable axles are in the works as well. These innovative truck parts allow long box trailers to go where they were unable to go before and should also reduce truck repair and service due to less wear and tear.

Here is some more information about advancements in the trucking industry aimed at improving the trucking industry as a whole.  A new hybrid dump trailer is on the way and if it passes the truck testing standards – it may start production later this year.

The state of the art designed flat/half-round profile will yield 2 cubic yards more volume than a traditional straight half-round trailer of the same length.  It also weighs a lot less.

Powered steerable axles are in the works as well.  These innovative truck parts allow long box trailers to go where they were unable to go before and should also reduce truck repair and service due to less wear and tear.  Also, the chip trailers carry wood waste from left over timber cutting and transport it to co-generation plants to assist in the production of electricity.

Trailers are being modified to be more stable.  Tandem trailers feature all wheels of the truck remaining on the ground while the trailer rises.  This trucking modification makes the trailer more stable during tipping than other trucks whose forward axles rise with the body.
