Articulated Steering
A steering method in which the machine's frame is hinged in the middle, with the front and rear sections pivoting relative to each other to turn.
Definition
Articulated steering is common on wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks. It can offer a tighter turning radius for a given wheelbase compared with steering only the front wheels, though it changes how the machine behaves when working close to obstacles.
