    I had a mid lift scania highline I used on milk transport, I had a stainless tank and weighed in at only 14,100 kgs full of fuel, this means I can carry 30 tons legally in the tank , usually 28-29 tons in a euroliner here cos of the 44 ton limit here but this is being reduced back to 40 tons for 5 axles from this month on

    old sea containers are reused here. They cut roof, put tint on, weld sidewalls and gate and use containers as bulkers. They just put old containers on chassis and fill it with grain, corn...

    about 60 metric ton. Allowed on some roads. Lenth of combination is 20m. But longer trailers are used and with US truck lenth is 22.5 and 20 m with cabover.

    no, two lift axes.

    Lift is Wabco EBS-E controlled and allowed at slower 15 mph.

    Factory payload is 45 metric ton, but really it is tought enought to haul 60 ton and more. It is 65 m3 capacity

    Tonar is a small trailer maker for domestic use. They make all types but generally bulkers, heavy haulers, grain haulers... All trailers are too heavy for use on European public roads, so it is local maker.

    one more example of Tonar

    65m3 is about 55t of wet wheat or 50t of dry

    anyway why it have container locks?

    here would be absolutely inconceivable that trailer of 4axles have all fixed

    normal is at least half of them steered
