In contrast to normal automobiles, trucks do not have a self-supporting body which is why they need an alternative – the truck chassis.
The chassis is an essential element of the vehicle. Usually, they are manufactured in a framework design which enables the hook up of different types of superstructures to the vehicle.

Some popular superstructures are tipper bodies, platform bodies, box bodies, dump trailers or tarpaulin trailers.
Furthermore, the most important components like gear, battery, engine, wheel suspension and trailer coupling can be found at the chassis.
The frame of the chassis is called ladder-type-frame because of its significant similarity to a ladder.
This frame has the important role of carrying the entire weight of the body work, semi-trailer and freight which is why a stable and reliable construction is necessary.

This construction is made of two holms which are connected through crossbars. These crossbars have a c-shaped form and are usually made of sheet profiles.

Just before World War 2, trucks and automobiles as well as busses or off-road vehicles were produced with a non-load-bearing body work. Today, the self-supporting body has been established.

The standardized chassis offer the possibility to connect almost every common semi-trailer with the vehicle, a feature that increases the flexibility of the companies. Especially in the sector of long-distance transports this fact offers a lot of advantages.
If the weight of the freight is more than the payload of the vehicle, one can simply use a reinforced chassis.
