And don't run away with the idea that Tiandi kit is only used in China..it pops up all over the place..this 14-line modular low loader is in bahrain..and how about that classic Bulldog up front?

Hi first time i have seen two artic trailers rigged like that,do you have any close up pictures of the coupleing,it looks to me as if a beem goes from one neck to the other and the fifth wheel king pin is in the middle so as only one tractor is needed to pull the two trailers.

Hi, the truck in the first picture is a Shaanxi Truck F2000 (they are also called D'long, meaning German Dragon). The company has bought a MAN license in 2001. They also feature a heavy truck called Ao'long, meaning Austrian Dragon, and yes, you've guessed it, it's an old Steyr.

That's right Sean. I met some heavy haulier in Kenya, they also named Shanxi D'long truck with SHACMAN. Now they have new F3000 version.
