    I think 10x6 dont make much sense. But again they need number of tires (i know for some scania 10x4*6 trucks in australia, but have no idea about their legal weight)
    I think 8x4 plus added twin tired tag would make much more sense than this. Mb make this combination, scania make it. I guess volvo can make it too.
    Crane position is interesting. We can mount 200mt (more than twice stronger) right behind cab, With our legal weights

    Isn't there a "scrollwheel" to tone down the light?
    I have that on my Paccar.

    by our standards, this is very poorly made body. I have not seen much of north american trailers/bodies that would match market expectation of customers here.
    even cheapest turkish made trailers got better finish.
    when i see prices of trailers/bodies you pay, this is very bad price to product ratio you get.
