What does the 'super' character on truck license plates mean?
1 Answers
The 'super' character on the trailer license plate indicates that it is a special type of motor vehicle. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Origin: It refers to engineering special operation vehicles with axle load and total mass exceeding limits, as well as motor vehicles transporting large, non-degradable items that are oversized in length, width, or height. The temporary license plate has the character 'super' printed on its right side. 2. Usage scope: The 'super' temporary license plate is specially approved by the state for transporting non-dismantlable items and special vehicles. However, the temporary license plate must be used in conjunction with an over-limit transport permit. 3. Classification of trailers: (1) Semi-trailer: Full trailers or semi-trailers do not have their own power units; the combination of these trailers with towing vehicles falls under the category of motor vehicles. A semi-trailer has its axle placed behind the vehicle's center of gravity (when the vehicle is evenly loaded) and is equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal or vertical forces to the towing vehicle. (2) Axle trailer: This is a single-axle vehicle specifically designed for transporting long and large items. (3) Drawbar trailer: A drawbar trailer has at least two axles, with one axle being steerable. It is connected to the towing vehicle via a drawbar that allows angular movement. The drawbar can move vertically and is connected to the chassis, thus unable to bear any vertical force. Semi-trailers with hidden supports are also considered drawbar trailers.
