There are also combi and eco combi container trailers , these are trailers that can be split in half to deliver 2 20' containers independently or 1 40/45' container or in the case of the eco combi 3 20' containers or 1 20' container and a 40/45' container

There is also livestock combi trailers that can be used for dry freight as well as livestock, they can be sealed up completely watertight , the decks a lifted right to the ceiling and the whole rear of the trailer can be hydraulically swung open so it can be placed on a loading dock, some trailers also have side loading where large sections of the sides can be opened for loading

show them some pics of trailers weve got to use in New Zealand to ,if we had 2axle trailers we be 35ton not 45.5

 

Hah! if I use EU trailer with three axes with US 6x4 trucktor I think nothing about weight distribution!!!

Really, in ex-USSR we prefere US trucktors, but European trailers. The only advantage to use US refers, they are longer (48-57').

I did Utility trailer to EBS after to Disk brakes conversion (SAF axes with disk brakes).Really good van.

 

really, US trucks are much cheapper here. and more durable. More tires ---- yes, but tires life is longer.

we can haul legally up to 24 ton, it depends on trailer weight.

US trucks are generally used for hauling to Russia, they are better for bad roads, and may easily be fixed in distant workshops (if it is not Volvo)

about fuel milage and payload..... really US trucktor weight is the same and fuel milage is the same, but US truck burns less european one at faster 50 mph (of cource it is not about classical trucks)
