Types of tractor units for sale
Tractor units or articulated lorry cabs have several different axle configurations, each designed for different purposes. At Smith Bros, we stock and source:
4×2 tractor units
The ideal vehicle for lighter loads or working within the UK, these tractor units are cost-effective, fuel-efficient and great for more manoeuvrability along British roads.
6×2 tractor units
A balanced and versatile tractor unit, 6×2 models are the most popular for haulage in the UK, thanks to the extra load capacity they offer compared to 4×2 models. These vehicles are ideal for both long-distance and heavy-load journeys.
6×4 tractor units
Designed for off-road or areas with varied terrain, 6×4 tractor units are most commonly used in construction or mining industries where equipment and debris need transporting in challenging conditions.
