[studeystudebaker50]

[2LegoOrNot2Lego]

I love this trailer so much I build a LEGO model of it... :-)

[Tobadforya]

Lol cant you see that it is an RC the end part rise way to fast for a real one and the wheels are so not real they dont even look real at all nothing on it looks real

[aussietrailertrash]

@Tobadforya its real footage sped up bout 5 or 8x so its quick to watch

its so real it doesn't even look as remotely fake as your intelligence

[muckrunner308]

@Tobadforya the clip has been sped up cos it takes a few minutes to unfold, have a look at the truck exhaust rise and faall as the engine works the hydralics, this is a brand new combo in the film, look at the truck, it is older

[MrNismoSR20]

That's like what...a 42 wheeler? Awesome.

[mudandsnow1]

[GEORGIAMUDDAWG1]

Where can i get one at?

[Eastbtm]

Wow! Looks cool but I have never seen before. :)

[train52000]

There must be a lot of hydralic switches inside that truck. Nice work, people.

[1969fred]

Really just one switch to Load/Unload. The only other controls are PTO engage and a slider lock for safety.

[shawnstall1987]

thats kinda cool

[ljuc]

it looks like a toy)

[HUMMVE100]

what pulls the trailer up and down

[1969fred]

Hydraulic motor on an endless chain

[leejames1982]

the process of it unloading would take around 5 mins, then another 5 mins to load it.... this video has been speed up to make it look like it unloads fater than it really does. but still it is great engineering and i can see it would have its benifets. nice vid

[1969fred]

Actual load time is 2-1/2 minutes. Same for unload. Video was sped up to make it more interesting.

[kenmtb]

Brilliant engineering!

[Diehlsiv]

Real truck?

[1969fred]

Yes. Real truck. 27.5m Long

[leapoffaith20]

I understand the how, just not the why. What advantages does this have over a non folding/stacking rig?

Asside from being well cool of course.

[1969fred]

Advantages:

Lower Tyre Wear, better fuel economy, better manoeuvrability when empty, extra weight on drive when empty for better traction getting back into the bush, treated as a general access vehicle when empty so is not affected by road train restrictions of daylight operation and scholl bus time restrictions that apply in Western Australia.

[TheZonn]

my dad race road train

[ricquil]

thats cool, looks like a toy,

[cedric692]

is this a rc or a rel truck in the trucking busnis?

It is a real truck. 27.5m long and when loaded weighs approx 80,000kg

[jgdogg441]

[1969fred]

This is not a RC model. This is a full size working truck at 27.5m Long and when loaded has a Gross Weight of almost 80 tonnes (80,000kg)

[PunkEcka]

[luckybob692]

[silver760]

is this a model or the real thing?Hard to tell.

[juxong]

doess anybody know if the axle for the trailer has its own motor or not

[1969fred]

No motor on the trailer axles

[juxong]

So if theres no motor on the axles is it run by hydralics just curious of course us here in the states we dont have nothing like that, that i know of

[1969fred]

There is an endless chain running through a hydraulic motor to slide the trailer up/down. I am sure there is nothing like it in the US

[juxong]

thx man i have better understanding now

[beducorn]

for a second i thought it was a TOY shit LOL

[mydearladie]

[lidor1980]

How much time does it take in a regular speed?

[lidor1980]

How much time does it take in regular speed?

[1969fred]

It takes about 90 seconds for the whole process

[Ruupie1982]

[LastStarQuester]

[dragonzombie21]

[HeadshotHarry]

[jonesm16]

No animation. It is video of the real truck.

[Dualor]

wow, at first i thought that was an RC truck, if so it has nice details. But now i can all that one hell of a rig.

[Q8Bart]

amazing truck technology

[Q8Bart]

Awesome truck and a nice technology for other countries ;)

[Kristjan597]

is this real truck or Rc model because those white sticks look like plastic but not so sure looks real:)

[jerome0044]

that was cool wat is the trucks brand ???

[1969fred]

Western Star

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

western star makes some nice ass tractors. kinda ugly though with boxy front ends and rounded sleepers lol.

[XpillchillX]

oooh thats so cool!

[Enthony08]

yes it is a beautyful engeenering thing

[dschevy4x4]

curious as to it's use? yeah it packs up nice and neat but what can it haul, being so limited with what maybe 6.5 feet wide? Just curious because the proper adjustment to the uprights and give the trailer floor an arch and crown you could make it universal to almost anyyhting.

[djfda974]

Wooow that's awesome !

[TheTechnicMan]

Is that real, a model or LEGO?

[djangodavies1995]

is this a rc car
