    That dolly/trailer seems a better set up than we use……

    Except around here they just use 4 axle heavy tractor and 4 axle trailer for everything….don’t believe there’s a D11 locally tho

    Sorry i write wrong this is d10n.

    This trailer is 20y old, weights around 29t.
    These days they would be like 20t

    This trailer has only front pendel axles, once you get full pendel, you have good setup, high mobility, 2ft suspension travel, 65-70deg. Steering angle.

    I can tell by the exhaust note it has a V-8 engine.

    It seems like it can handle the job. The Swedes can build a tough truck when they want to.
