Your Truck driving Definitions of the Day
Pigtail
Cable used to transmit electrical power from the tractor to the trailer. So named because it is coiled like a pig's tail.
Retarder
Device used to assist brakes in slowing the vehicle. The most common type of retarder on over-the-road trucks manipulates the engine's valves to create engine drag. (This type is commonly referred to as "Jake Brake" because the predominant manufacturer is Jacobs Vehicle Equipment Co.) Other types of retarders include exhaust retarders, transmission-mounted hydraulic retarders and axle-mounted electromagnetic retarders.
Tri-Axle
Truck, tractor or trailer with three axles grouped together at the rear. (see Tridem)
Piggyback
Semitrailer built with reinforcements to withstand transport by a railroad flatcar. (see TOFC)
Lift Axle
Extra, unpowered axle needed only when the vehicle is loaded, allowing it to meet federal and state vehicle weight standards. The lift axle is mounted to an air spring suspension that raises the axle when it is not required.
