<p>This steering-lock system for semi-trailers with two steerable axles comprises a series of levers and articulated tie rods which, starting from the axle stirrup (2) of the tractor, transmit the steering-lock control to the rear axle (5), and from there to the front axle (4) of the semi-trailer (3) in order to determine, when taking bends, the orientation of these axles towards the ideal and temporary centre of the bend, until the normal maximum steering-lock of the tractor is reached. This devices makes it possible to produce semi-trailers which have a large carrying capacity but the dimensions of which, in terms of length and area covered when taking a bend, are reduced.
