Tandem axle tractors are built with two rear drive axles. This increases power and towing capacity when compared to tractor rentals with single drive axles. The double drive axles increase stability making tandem axle tractors a perfect fit for hauling extremely heavy items without compromising on efficiency. For your different hauling needs and convenience, you can rent a tandem axle tractor with COOP.
Sleeper Cab
A sleeper tandem axle tractor is designed to provide more towing capacity. Most tandem axle tractors can haul loads weighing more than 65,000lb. The sleeper cab has an extension behind the driver’s cabin known as the sleeper berth area where the driver can take a rest when on a long haul.
Day Cab
A tandem axle day cab truck has no sleeper berth. This makes it suitable for day use when short-distance deliveries need to be made. Whether you need to haul freight for your retail business or need to haul large equipment used for landscaping, a tandem axle tractor should be able to get the job done.
That said, below are two fuel variations of both the sleeper cab and day cab tractors.
Diesel Powered Tandem Axle Tractors
Different tandem axle tractors are powered differently. Some use diesel fuel to operate, which is the most common fuel type associated with large heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Diesel energy provides more torque, which enables the truck to haul more goods and heavy loads.
Electric Powered Tandem Axle Tractors
In contrast to diesel-powered tractors, electric energy is used to operate some tandem axle tractors. The tractors rely on their charged batteries to operate. This form of energy is great if you want to maintain a safe environment. Electric energy is derived when the truck brakes and energy are converted and stored in the tractor’s batteries for operation.
