Task E-12 Diagnoses trailer chassis and trailer bodies
Task Descriptor
Transport trailer technicians diagnose trailer chassis and trailer bodies. Trailer chassis attach the trailer body to the suspension. Trailer bodies contain, secure and protect cargo. Structural problems affect how the weight of the load is distributed to the suspension systems, which in turn can create safety concerns.
