Bogie Centerline

The central line running through a bogie, which is a framework carrying wheels, attached to vehicles such as trains or trailers, aiding in stability and balance.

Bridge Formula

Used to determine how a truck and semi-trailer support their respective loads. Generally, if a trailer sliding bogie is moved forward, the percentage of load supported by the tractor decreases.

Moving a sliding fifth wheel forward takes load off the drive bogies and transfers it to the steer axle.
