Due to the quantity of articulations, they are subject to specific phenomena which affect their handling. The most relevant being "Rearward Amplification." This concerns the increase in lateral deplacement of the last unit when compared with the first. The tractor-unit is subject to greater lateral acceleration, and has the potential to rollover.
