Im thinking Scania and Volvo trucks have this massive cab in the front but just wheels at the back, how can this be a possible weight balance? How come the front doesnt just tip over? How much does the cab actually weigh? Also its possible to tip the entire cab forwards revealing the engine beneath it and it still wont tip over. I rly dont understand how this is possible.

It’s like a see-saw. If you have one person that weighs 100 pounds sitting a foot from the middle on one side, and you have 2 200 pound people 5 feet from the middle on the other side, which side goes down? The side with the heavier people sitting farther away from the middle. So on the truck, the middle of the see-saw is the front axle, the light person sitting near the middle is the cab, and the 2 heavy people farther away are the rear axles, transmission, and everything else that’s behind the front axle. You have a lot more weight behind the front axle, even with the cab tilted forward, so instead of the front going down, the back tires stays on the ground.
