ROLL - CRASH - Tractor Trailer Combination

Tractor Trailer Combination - Roll Over Test.
Shows how a Big Rig can roll over when there is a condition of Bad Suspension, Overload, High Speed, Bad Driving Habits, Bad Brakes, etc.

This demonstrates why your fleet needs a solution.
I suggest The TRS System of Haldex.

That is really amazing to see how much that trailer will twist before it takes the tractor with it.

[keystrucker]

amazing how they screw up a perfectly tractor/trailer for this stuff..go figure huh?

[wimanyu]

the trailer was sooo flexible!

This was to test safety straps and their limits and was sponsored by TMC. Harold Annette had a skid pad at Des Moines, IA and that's where this was filmed, he would pay $10k to any driver who could start this accident and bring it back without crashing... They no longer offer that challenge, too many would fail and only a very few would make it

@bbaker904 thanks !

@kev8338 I have recovered and seen many roll overs over the years. The king pin is almost un breakable. It will come uncontected long before it will snap. The king pin is set in a heavy steel plate that can buckle long before the pin can break. There are two major types of fifth wheels. A sliding wedge is used for most. Fontain makes mainly those. There are double jaw styles but require adjustment. Those fail the most when drivers don't physical get out and check that the jaws are closed.

@bbaker904 With your 14 yrs experiance, can you enlighten a non-truck driver (me) on why wouldnt the kingpin (?) doesnt just snap when twisted like this? I know they havce to be strong but wouldnt it be best to loose a trailer and not the cab too?
