Help me between articulated chassis Vs rigid/fixed chassis
Discussion
On our construction site we have hydrema 922g and Volvo A30g trucks for off road usage.
Volvo has articulation rams and pivot point. Hydrema has only got the articulation rams.
Hence, if the skip overturns the cabin also overturns for hydrema but on the Volvo, the cabin stays safe because of the pivot point.
Now the confusion is that both are classified as ADT in CPCS licence and in their respective websites.
But the hydrema 922g has a bolted on type articulation which makes it as fixed/rigid chassis. Am I right to say that?
Wouldn't that make it a rigid chassis as per engineering definition?

Thank you
