This is a video showing just SOME of the trucks and trailers I get to play with when I visit my mate in Townsville. He also has heaps of machinery like diggers, bobcat , dozers, tractors, loaders and more trucks as well as a collection of motorbikes to ride. I call it "Disneyland" cause everytime i go there is a new ride to try out....LOL

  • I have seen a picture of a white Ford HN80 hauling triple flat beds trailers and on the front of the Ford there was a sign saying ¨Steve's Haulage¨. Do you know if that Ford belongs to your boss Steve?

  • @svg1995 No mate. There are no FORD's in the stable. None of our trucks have a company name on them, only some of the trailers. He likes to keep a low key

  • Wow! Beauties! This is pure poetry!

    Just love your showing us around!

    Our drawbars come with a jack so you crank them to the right hight, no need for two guys to do it as you say. And of course there are angled guides to lead the ring exactly to the hook.

    Can you tell me why cabovers are so popular in Australia? A few inches in length is not really a consideration like in Europe, is it?

  • cabovers are so popular for B-Double application where there is a set maximum length of 26m with a bonneted truck it's nearly impossible to get a full 34 pallet trailer combo under length. I would say cabovers are more popular than even conventionals in OZ

  • awesome vid as always buddy, good to see the old bangers still out and about. is the sline a 3300 or a 3600?

  • 3300 mate. it's the newest adittion to the fleet

see all

  • my boss has an african made lowboy with a turntable on the back for truck trailer recovery, which is distributed by dura-quip in gnowangerup

  • the powerstars were built to replace the sline and transtar

  • In the US, Canada and Mexico, safety chains are used when pulling trailers with pintle hooks. It's a safety issue in case the hitch fails and if the highway police catches you without it connected during a truck inspection, then they'll write you up and fine you for not property secured the trailer safely.

  • love the OLD roadcomander

    cant beat a UD as a offroad tipper my favorite

  • very informative as always..10/10 mate

  • great video when are you going to do a video on you driving trucks it's been a while.

  • Just come to think of it: correctly, the brand is RINGFEDER.

    (Google: "Ringfeder Corporation - RING-spring®"

    Feder=spring in German)

    Though, calling this thing a RINGFEEDER is much more obvious to me too.

    (Sorry, I didn't mean to be a nitpicker.)
