Ilori yetanki ngokuyintloko inomzimba wetanki, i-chassis, kunye neempawu zokhuseleko. Siza kuchaza nganye kwezi ngokweenkcukacha ngezantsi.
1. Umzimba weTanki: Umzimba wetanki ngundoqo welori yetanki, esetyenziselwa ukulayisha nokuthutha ioli. Ngokuxhomekeke kwinjongo kunye nokwakhiwa kwayo, imizimba yetanki inokuthi ihlelwe njenge-oval, isikwere, okanye ngeenxa zonke. Umzimba wetanki ngokwesiqhelo wenziwe ngentsimbi ephezulu{3}}yamandla okanye ialloyi yealuminiyam, enikezela ngokutywina okugqwesileyo kunye nokumelana nomhlwa. Iimpawu zangaphakathi ezinje ngamaza -iiphaneli zokwaphuka zikwafakelwa ukunciphisa ukutyibilika kunye neempembelelo ngexesha lothutho.
2. I-Chassis: I-chassis ngumthwalo-inxalenye yelori yetanki kwaye ikakhulu iqulathe isakhelo, inkqubo yokunqunyanyiswa, kunye namatayara. Uyilo lweChassis kufuneka luthathele ingqalelo izinto ezinje ngomthamo welori yetanki, uzinzo lokuqhuba, kunye nokuhamba kakuhle. Ukuhlangabezana neemfuno-zothutho lomgama omde, iilori zetanki ziqhele ukuxhotyiswa{5}}neenjini zokusebenza eziphezulu kunye nothumelo ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza okuzinzileyo kuzo zonke iimeko zendlela.
3. Iimpawu zoKhuseleko: Iimpawu zokhuseleko zibalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukusebenza ngokukhuselekileyo kweelori zetanki kwaye ziquka izixhobo ezichasene{1}}ne-static, iinkqubo zokucima umlilo, kunye neevalvu zokhuseleko. IAnti{3}}isixhobo esimileyo sisetyenziswa ikakhulu ukuphelisa umbane ongashukumiyo owenziwe ngexesha lothutho, ukuthintela imililo ebangelwa ngumbane ongashukumiyo. Izixhobo zokucima umlilo zisetyenziselwa ukucima umlilo ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuthintela ukusasazeka kwawo. Iivalvu zokhuseleko zisetyenziselwa ukukhulula irhasi ngokuzenzekelayo xa uxinzelelo lwetanki lwangaphakathi luba lugqithise, lunciphisa umngcipheko wogqabhuko-dubulo.
