Semi-trailer truck with long-nose sleeper tractor
Free CAD block from the Trucks and trailers library (17 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Semi-trailer truck with long-nose sleeper tractor, drawn in side elevation. It measures 48' 0" long and 12' 2" high (14.64 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
Elevations of warehouses, dock-side sections and highway service plaza elevations use a full tractor-trailer in side view; the sleeper cab behind the long nose shows this one is a long-haul rig. Set it against the dock doors in a section through the loading bay so the trailer floor meets the dock level.
Clearances to leave
At 12 ft 2 in (372 cm) high it clears a 14 ft (430 cm) dock canopy with 23 in (58 cm) to spare; the dock floor should sit at 48 in (120 cm) to match the trailer bed. Length of 48 ft (1464 cm) sits under the 53 ft (16.2 m) trailer maximum, and the yard elevation needs 120 ft (36.6 m) of apron in front.
Pairs with
Draw it with the Articulated semi-trailer truck with long-nose tractor, its plan, and the Box semi-trailer with twin rear doors and lock bar for the rear at the dock. A dock leveler in section joins truck and building.

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.
