What is the definition of wheelbase?
Wheel base is the distance between two axles on a vehicle.

What is the difference between truck chassis 6x4 and 4x2?

What is the Wheelbase specification for a motorcycle?
Thw wheelbase is the distance between the centers of the tire contact patches, which is the same as the distance between the front and rear axles.
What is double axle steering?
This is a type of steering most commonly used on vehicles carrying large loads such as fixed bed lorries, it is essentially when such a vehicle has more than one steering axle. It can either be the front two axles in a six axled vehicle or both axles in a vehicle with the usual two axles. If it is two front axles then the degree of steering angle on the second axle is much less than the first and is dictated by the distance between the two front, and the distance to the next axle, as well as the length of the axles themselves. On a vehicle with just two axles where both are steering then the rear is used as a method of improving cornering abilities, on a normal corner they must steer in opposite directions but in certain such vehicles - like monster trucks - the steering is independent to allow the vehicle to 'crab' sideways, vastly improving manouverability.
How far apart are the tires on a 53 foot semi truck?
You're talking about the trailer? Some specifics would be in order. On a tandem trailer, the axles are about three feet apart from each other. If you're referring to the distance between the trailer axles and the drive axles of the tractor, they're allowed to be a maximum of 41 feet apart, except in California, where they're only allowed a 40 ft. bridge between the two.
What is the legal overhang on a hgv?
60% of the wheelbase, gets a bit more complicated with 6x2's and 8x2's depending on steering or non steering tag or mid axles and equal and unequal rear bogie loads, on and equal rear rear bogie (the same weight on both rear axles) the calculating point for the overhang is mid way between the two rear axles, that is called the theoretical wheelbase. So if the truck measurement axle 1 to 2 is 5000mm and the distance between axle 2 and 3 is 1400mm the theoretical wheelbase is 5700mm so 60% of that is 3420mmand that is the overhang measured from a point midway between the two rear axles.
The distance between two cities is 10km more than one third of the distance between them?

What is a boardslide?
