Walking beam refers to a type of vocational truck suspension made by Hendrickson. There is a beam on each side, with each end connected to one of the drive axles, and the beams pivot in the middle.
It's part of one of a few different types of suspension systems which may be found on a dump truck.
The different between suspension bridge and beam bridge are beam bridge are for short distance but suspension bridge for long distance. Beam bridge are used for highway passes and suspension bridge for wide waterway passes.
Twist Beam Suspension
97 and under are i-beam suspension.
The rod that is used to prevent forward or rearward movement of the u-beam on a twin u-beam front suspension is called the tie rod. A tie rod is part of the steering mechanism.

A walking beam furnace allows the product to be heated from all sides, where a walking hearth furnace only alloys product to be heated from the top and is more suitable for thinner products. There is no major mechanism difference between a walking hearth and a walking beam furnace. For a walking beam furnace, an actual walking beam will lift the product and move it forward. Then the product is lowered onto the stationary beams. While the load is resting on the stationary beams the walking beam moves underneath the product back to the home position ready to perform another walk. Whereas for a walking hearth furnace, portions of the refractory lined hearth are used to raise the product and move it toward the discharge in a walking fashion. Both mechanisms of moving the product to the discharge, are almost identical.
Peterbilt made (and continues to make) a number of different models available for a number of different purposes. They won't all have the same suspension. Construction vehicles would have the option of Camel Back, Hendrickson Walking Beam, or Chalmers Suspensions. Road tractors would most likely have a four bag air ride suspension.
To the best of my knowledge this truck uses the front suspension called "Ford twin I-beam front suspension."
