Why is a Semi Trailer called a “Semi Trailer”? ‌

Semi Trailers are common tools in logistics transportation, and there are many types, including flatbed, low-bed, box, tank, container, frame, etc., to meet various cargo transportation needs. So, why is it called a “Semi Trailer”?

The key lies in the word “semi”. The front of the Semi Trailer is connected to the tractor through a “traction pin”, which is located above the rear axle of the tractor, and there is a matching traction seat at the front end of the Semi Trailer. When connected, half of the weight of the Semi Trailer is borne by the tractor, and the other half is supported by its own wheels, so it is called “semi-suspension”.
