A '''tractor unit''', '''traction unit''', '''road tractor''' or '''prime mover''' is a heavy-duty vehicle, usually with a powerful engine and several axles. The tractor unit serves as a method of moving trailers. Trailers can be swapped between tractor units quickly so the unit does not stand idle whilst the load is unloaded or loaded, unlike a rigid, and is not restricted to one type of goods as trailer types can be swapped e.g. Bulk tipper to a box van. The tractor-trailer combination also means that a load can be shared across many axles, yet be more maneuverable than a equivalently sized rigid truck. The tractor unit couples to the trailer using some sort of mechanical lock system, usually a fifth wheel. A tractor unit is primarily designated a freight vehicle and is most common in the heavy goods vehicle class of vehicles although smaller van based tractor units do exist. | A '''tractor unit''', '''traction unit''', '''road tractor''' or '''prime mover''' is a heavy-duty vehicle, usually with a powerful engine and several axles.

In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the [[HuCiv HC1500]] tractor unit is an available drivable vehicle on some campaign levels. It is prone to oversteer similar to other civilian vehicles in the game, and it goes about half the speed of a [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]]. | |||

*Tractor units appear in Halo 3, both in the campaign missions set on Earth, and in Forge. The game uses them as scenery however, since they do not count as drivable vehicles. Each tractor unit costs $8, and only two can be placed per map.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref> | |||

The cabin was damaged as a round from a [[Model 99 Special Application Scoped Rifle]] punched through it, killing the driver. The trailer was later detonated by his accomplice, destroying the trailer, tractor unit, and diner, killing 38 civilians and three UNSC Marines.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> | ||
