Articulated semi-trailer truck with long-nose tractor
Free CAD block from the Trucks and trailers library (17 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Articulated semi-trailer truck with long-nose tractor, drawn in plan view. It measures 48' 0" wide and 6' 4" deep (14.64 m × 1.92 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the Trucks and trailers library: 17 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Site plans for distribution centers, loading yards and industrial parks need a tractor-trailer in plan to check the swept path; this one with its long-nose tractor is the plan companion to the side elevation of the same rig. Place it on the apron in front of the dock doors and on the access road to test turns.
Clearances to leave
Draw the apron at 120 ft (36.6 m) deep for a rig 48 ft (1464 cm) long, with dock bays 11 ft 6 in (350 cm) wide for its 6 ft 4 in (192 cm) body and a 41 ft (12.5 m) outer turning radius at the yard entrance. Leave 39 in (100 cm) between parked trailers for walking.
Pairs with
Combine it with the Double-trailer truck with long-nose tractor to compare swept paths on one yard plan, and with the Compact city semi-trailer truck with cab-over tractor at the smaller dock. Hatching the dock apron in a lighter tone marks the maneuvering zone.

Design notes
- An articulated truck needs an outer turning circle of about 41' 0" radius.
- Car bays 8' 2" × 16' 5"; keep truck and car routes apart where you can.
