Double-trailer truck with cab-over tractor and roof fin
Free CAD block from the Trucks and trailers library (17 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Double-trailer truck with cab-over tractor and roof fin, drawn in side elevation. It measures 53' 5" long and 12' 2" high (16.28 m × 3.72 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
Freight corridor elevations, a section through a logistics park access road and the elevation of a highway rest area use a double-trailer rig; the roof fin on this cab-over tractor distinguishes it from the fairing version. Use it for the long-vehicle lane where two trailers must stand in line.
Clearances to leave
Just over 53 ft (16.2 m) at 53 ft 5 in (1628 cm), it still fits a 120 ft (36.6 m) apron, though 125 ft (38 m) is safer with two pivots. Give it a lane 13 ft 1 in (400 cm) wide and keep the fin's 12 ft 2 in (372 cm) tip clear of signs hung lower than 14 ft (430 cm).
Pairs with
Pair it with the Double-trailer truck with cab-over tractor and roof fairing for the two fairing styles. A row of Narrow columnar tree with sketchy hand-drawn outline behind the trailers scales the length.

Design notes
- Standard European semi-trailer: 13.6 m trailer, 16.5 m overall, 2.55 m wide, 4.0 m high. US trailers are commonly 53 ft long.
- Loading docks need about 13' 9" of clear height under canopies.
