Cabovers

I'm really surprized... They prefere so old rigs. May be they really have problems maintaning new trucks.

 

they dont have money for new trucks and new trucks are not so robust as old one , also many things can go wrong on new truck

so basically you can get more money for SK than actros

lot of 4x2 tractors exported from my contry are converted to leaf suspension


also check this one or any other gallery on toprun there is plenty them

but most interesting is ex jumbo 6x2 actros ( which used to pull 2axle tandem-central axle trailer ) now converted with another body on it and trailer i have seen one in Saudi Arabia and one in Bolivia

 

And the new trucks cost a lot more in maintaining than the older one's.
The new trucks have also more software/electronic.

 

interesting detail
1844 SK Zugmaschine ein Auflieger mit 90 t Ladung alles Eisen und ein PKW oben drauf

90ton of load +tractor+trailer that is for sure more than 108ton(240 000lbs total) that is about 25ton on drive axle and on each trailer axle

which is 55000lbs

it is a road for COE trucks only..... I cant imageine conventional trucktor with 53' trailer there

 

complete south and south easy europe is like that and norway thats why i said that is even 16.5-18.75 too long

, best for that road is drawbar combination

 

Ore b-double.

My friend purchased Hunday B-double and tows it with Scania. Turning radius is smaller then draw bar combo

 

but also internal turning ratio needs to be larger and nothing is better than drawbar in this

 

I know what is better))) trucktor + 20-25' semi trailer + 25' draw bar traoler ore short semy trailer with dolly axe

Backing is the real art
