both sides or just right and it can swing on left?
maybe it is not bad idea to add hydraulic cylinders espeacially if you unload only on left side that is not expensive and not big problem for strain on chassis -
customer wants universality

what kind of brand is this truck
and is only cab from man or anything else
i tried to find more larger images on their webpage but nothing -
I guess the bridge laws are what make the trucks and trailers different. There is no way you would be allowed to pull a short trailer and that much weight even with all the extra axels on an American Interstate. Our bridge spans are longer and the axels need to be more spread out than the ones I see in these pics.Scania man Thanks this.

it is Tonar truck. Domestic brand.
![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tonar.info%2Fupload%2Fmedialibrary%2F5ec%2F6428_7.jpg&hash=e83f296b032be102b19f4e25e33d2817)
Cab is made in China with MAN licensie, from F2000, Frame is by Tonar, Axels are meritor ore Chenese Hanle Axe and suspention looks like freightliner air ride.
Engines: Cummins, Cat, Deutz as option and YaMZ650 as standard.
650 is replica of Renault DCi11, but with Bosch MS7 ECU (not old 6.3)
really truck looks like Man F2000 on steroids.
Early trucks were with made in USA powertraine and driveline, now US parts are option, Chenese are standard, so if customer wants good truck - he gets good one with US powertraine, if cheap one - he gets Chenese truck on Russian chassis.
But frame is really good. This thing russians can do well.98989 Thanks this. -
Van trialers are much more maneuverable as compared to a rigid vehicle. Van Trialer has a better ratio between tare and cargo weights.
ThanksScania man Thanks this. -
Yes, but with special permit for weight and length, or at least we need them ,don't know if Russians do. Usually they are 24 meters, easier to get permit.98989 Thanks this.

in europe only finland and sweden have bridge formula but this is simple
you need 5.2m from front to rear axle on truck/tractor to be allowed for 26t
they go in steps so 6m is required for 30t .....7.2 for 36t trailer....
for 60t total you need 18m from first to last axle.....
bridge formula is reason why they use so much 4axle trucks with steered tag axle instead of twin steer -
here van trailer is 6800-8000kg (15000-17600lbs)
curtain sider are from 4380kg-7000kg (9600-15500lbs) average about 13800lbs
