Biglorryblog regular Martin Phippard is an unashamed fan of big rigid oilfield trucks and he's sent me this selection starting with this Kenworth which he says is a 'Gin Pole' truck. Perhaps you could tell us exactly what that means (and what it does) Martin! Note the extra cooling by simply removing the bonnet side panels!

Like this crane version..note the 'tridem' triaxle rear bogie. Must be great driving it around tight corners.
