NTEA, The Work Truck Association, released the 17th edition of the Truck Equipment Handbook, a guide for commercial vehicle components and equipment.
"Whether you're new to the truck equipment industry or a long-time veteran, the handbook is a handy, condensed reference guide for all commercial vehicle professionals to cover a broad range of technical subjects," says Steve Spata, NTEA senior technical assistance director.
This latest version includes updates to U.S. and Canadian regulations and an expanded set of industry definitions, along with the vehicle certification process and regulatory standards applicable in Canada. It also covers the fundamental concepts and selection of chassis frames, PTOs, tires and other commercial vehicle systems; vehicle weight analysis methods, calculations and illustrations; advanced vehicle and fuel technology descriptions; reference sections on vehicle certification and federal and Canadian motor vehicle safety standards; lighting requirements and illustrations; weights and measures; and more.
The new handbook is $15 for NTEA members and $29 for nonmembers.
