  1. semitrailer

    A semitrailer is a type of trailer designed to be towed by a tractor unit in a road tractor/trailer combination vehicle. The name comes from the fact that, when attached, the trailer's front end rests on the rear of the pulling vehicle, so it partially supports its own weight and the remainder is carried by the towing vehicle. It typically features one or two axle assemblies located at the rear end while the front end is equipped with a hitch or coupling mechanism to connect to the towing vehicle. Popular for freight transport, a semitrailer does not have a front axle, making it different from a conventional trailer.
