        abstract = {This study examines the stress analysis of a ladder-type low-loader truck chassis with C-beams that can support 7.5 tons of weight. The commercial software program CATIA version 5 was used to assist in the Finite Element Method (FEM) study. Reducing the thickness of the structural components or altering the design are the only ways to lower the production costs of truck chassis. It is essential to evaluate the truck chassis's stress distribution before manufacture to improve the design and guarantee dependability. The thickness of the side and cross members, as well as the cross member's position concerning the rear end, were altered to reduce the amount of stress at crucial locations on the chassis frame. The numerical study showed that moving the cross member can be a valuable substitute for altering the thickness when it is not possible. Analytical computations and the calculated outcomes were contrasted. It was found that, notwithstanding some magnitude fluctuations, the maximum deflection values derived from the numerical analysis were in agreement with theoretical expectations.},
