Multi-axle Vehicle

Multi-axle vehicle is a term for vehicles equipped with more than the standard two axles, providing additional support for heavy loads or improving maneuverability.

Thrustline

Vehicle directional tracking line. Properly set axles should track perpendicular to the vehicle centerline.

If this were not the case, some dog-tracking tendency would result.
