Remarkable stuff! I was particularly impressed by what looked like a B-Triple behind a KW too. And I like the way the grader is parked at the exact spotwhere the Volvo loses traction on the bank. I wonder if they were using diff locks at this point?
I did look at the other videos as well, so the volvo roadtrains have a gross weight of 160 tonnes. That's still a axle load of 15 - 16 tonnes. What about the tyre limits?.
I'm not sure about the road where those logging roadtrains were driving but I think those tipper roadtrains are driving on a haulroad on which only company vehicles are allowed, something very common in mining environments in Australia for example.
Super road train has any one some photos of the truck and also who make the trailer ?
