This 2005 International 9800 is a used truck tractor unit — also commonly known as a semi-truck or eighteen-wheeler cab — designed to haul heavy freight by coupling with a semi-trailer. Truck tractor units form the backbone of long-haul and regional road transport, providing the motive power and driver accommodation while the trailing unit carries the load. International is a well-established American commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks and truck tractor units for freight, logistics, and construction haulage industries worldwide.
This example is configured as a 6x4, meaning it has six wheels in total across three axles, with drive delivered to four of those wheels across the two rear axles — a layout widely favoured in heavy haulage for its traction and load-bearing capacity. The body type is noted as a chassis truck, indicating a cab-and-chassis configuration without a fixed body, suited to coupling with a variety of trailer types. Power comes from a diesel engine, as is standard for heavy commercial vehicles of this class, and the unit is fitted with an automatic gearbox, which can ease driver fatigue on long routes.
The truck was manufactured and registered in 2005 and is offered in used condition from a seller located in South Africa.
