A Tilt Table Procedure for Measuring the Static Rollover Threshold for Heavy Trucks
1998-12-01
HISTORICAL
J2180_199812
The test procedure applies to roll coupled units such as straight trucks, tractor semitrailers, full trailers, B-trains, etc. The test is aimed at evaluating the level of lateral acceleration required to rollover a vehicle or a roll-coupled unit of a vehicle in a steady turning situation. Transient, vibratory, or dynamic rollover situations are not simulated by this test. Furthermore, the accuracy of the test decreases as the tilt angle increases, although this is a small effect at the levels of tilt angle used in testing heavy trucks. The test accuracy is accepted for vehicles that will rollover at lateral acceleration levels below 0.5 g corresponding to a tilt table angle of less than approximately 27 degrees. Even so, the results for heavy trucks with rollover thresholds greater than 0.5 g could be used for comparing their relative static roll stability.

MOTOR TRUCK CA DIMENSIONS
1990-09-01
HISTORICAL
J691_199009
This SAE Recommended Practice sets forth recommended back of cab to rear axle (CA) dimensional data. It applies to 4- and 6-wheel motor trucks but not necessarily to truck-tractors.

TIRE CHAIN CLEARANCE—TRUCKS, BUSES (EXCEPT SUBURBAN, INTERCITY, AND TRANSIT BUSES), AND COMBINATIONS OF VEHICLES
1985-08-01
HISTORICAL
J683_198508
The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to set up a guide as to body, frame, and wheel housing clearance to accommodate tire chains, and also the minimum bogie spacing to permit using chains on both axles. These dimensions apply to trucks, buses, and combinations of vehicles 10 001 lb (4535.06 kg) GVW and over, and are based upon recommendations of the Tire and Rim Association and of the National Association of Chain Manufacturers. The diagram shows clearance for chains over the tire ONLY and allowance must be made for spring deflections in determining fender clearance. See Figure 1 and Table 1.

TRUCK TRACTOR SEMITRAILER INTERCHANGE COUPLING DIMENSIONS
1984-08-01
HISTORICAL
J701_198408
The information in this SAE Information Report is the result of studies by the Automobile Manufacturers Association, American Trucking Association, and Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association, to achieve interchangeability of equipment which will comply with the legal dimensional limitations for the majority of states and yet permit increased loading space within these dimensions. This in no way supersedes other information in the SAE Handbook on this subject. Some cases will require more care in application allowing splash shield clearance at trailer support interference points and positioning fifth wheel to allow trailer swing clearance on an 11% grade. All dimensions are given in inches. Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2 show basic requirements for interchangeability of truck tractor and semitrailer equipment. Figure 3 shows the interchangeability of the doubles converter dolly.
