Pls include a Truck built for Nigerians as well
I really don't know about Innoson, but it would definitely be like the Asian designs which is synonymous to that of Europe

It would look like this

For the Europeans, they have a recommended size that a tractor head must have.

One advantage i like about them is that they are easier to park unlike the Americans...Lagos can be congested, and the smaller the head, the better grin

I also don't like them because it doesn't give much free space to work on the engine angry.. Very annoying

Also, in the case of an accident, the driver can be very much affected cry

Okay...At least, we can differentiate between both if we see them

Bye everyone.. grin

One good advantage of the American made ones are the fact that they are very roomy..Infact, it's like a one room apartment.. They come with beds (two, in some cases), air conditioning, TV and the current models also come with microwaves too..

Also, in the event of an accident, the engine is first impacted before it gets to the cabin. So, the driver is likely to be protected.

They are very easy to fall in love with sha

We see trucks everyday, but do you know that you can actually differentiate between a truck built for the American market and that built for Europe? grin

Yes, you can even without knowing about Trucks.

The difference is in the design of THE CABIN.

The two pictures above shows the same carmaker (Volvo) with two different designs of trucks. The first picture shows a truck that is made for the American market, and the other shows a truck made for the European market.

In the American made designs, the Cabin is behind the engine

In the European designs, the Cabin is on top of the engine

Car TalkRe: Which Is Cheaper? Purchasing A New Bogie Axle, Or Assembling It? by Teedautoparts(op): 1:57pm On Mar 21, 2021
Okay,....First things first grin

When trying to buy parts for trailers in Lagos, there are two major markets you can source for parts..

1) Berger (This is on Apapa Oshodi Expressway)

2) Trade fair (This is on Lagos Badagry expressway)

The former is known for Tokunboh (second hand) parts, while the latter is known for New parts..

I have just discovered that there is a particular part that I can't get the new one currently...

It has to be a Tokunboh sad

So a recap of what we want..


We want to buy all the parts of a Bogie axle and couple it, maybe it may be less than #2,200,000

The particular spec is a 28T Bogie Axle, or Super 30 Bogie (In our Nigerian English grin )

This is what it looks like

Hello everyone..

It's been a very long time I created a thread. Sorry about that...Been busy grin

So, recently I had some Bogie Axles for sale...All sold. grin

Then I had someone that wants to buy a Bogie Axle, but sadly, my own is finished.

Then I found another seller, but his is #2,200,000. angry

So, we decided to check if we could couple it and maybe reduce the cost....

The purpose of the thread is to see if it's possible to do so, and still save some cash

So....Leggo grin

Ever seen a road tanker like this? grin

https://www.independent.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/NNPC%E2%80%99s-fuel-tankers-queue-for-fuel.jpg

I bet everybody has. This is called a Tanker

It is usually built locally especially to transport Diesel, Petrol and Kerosene. I don't think Nigeria has the expertise to build an LPG tank (That is way above our knowledge for now) grin

But anyways, you need to have a particular component to build a Tanker. That component is called TANKER FITTINGS

They are installed in specific parts of the tank to aid the discharge of the product, and the keep them intact too.

I'll use this thread to show us some of the components, incase we come across them grin

Now, preparing the Brake and Electrical System of a Trailer body is dependent on the type of suspension the trailer is carrying

Remember we have two common types of suspensions we use

The Bogie

Tri-axle, commonly called Langa-Langa

I would go into the details later on for each, but I just want is to know what we need to build a brake system
