It's a set of B-trains. Two 28 foot decks which mean more deck and the lift axles (in front of the tridem on the lead and in front of the tandem on the pup) are used only in MI. They like their axles down there to haul any kind of weight.

B-trains are made up of two trailers and pivot at two fifth wheels as opposed to one with a standard straight trailer.

 

So you can haul more frieght with the extra axles and deck length instead of a normal 48 or 53

 

Right.

 

Haven't seen many of them. Most not be a good thing in the Americas

 

You see quite a few A & B-Trains here in the Pacific NW. They are typically used a lot here for the heavy lumber & other loads that want to max out at 105,500 # - the Oregon max. I also see them haul a lot of hay during the summer months.

 

Do you normally pull B-trains dye?

 

B-Trains here in Ontario are a very common setup, actually in Quebec as well. In-fact I believe that is where they originated.. Multi axle is very common here as well we haul up to 140,000lbs without permits.. But Michigan is even more axle loving then us, as we need say 6 axles here in Ontario you will need 7 axles in Michigan.. SPIF is a new type of lift axle we run as well, they are steering axles so when you go around a corned the tire turns like your steer axle up front, the old system you used to lift the axles when going around corners which produce more strain on the other trailer axles, frame etc... and transferred all the weight to the rigid axles so it is was hard on the roads..

Forget it.....can't delete

 

I'll try again.. Couldn't delete previous post. This is an east coast B Train from Australia @ 138,000 lb

 

Here in Australia we copied the Canadian B Trains in the early 1980s and now they are the most common trucks in the populated eastern states...even more common than single trailers. They always run tri axles on the trailers, but because they are limited to 26 meters overall they are usually cabovers, KWs mainly.
