    Yeah, I see, it is conversion.

    In Ukraine we use to strech US and Russian frames and put BDF subframes on it. And we can use conventional truck as 20' container hauler (solo ore with draw bar trailer).

    total lenth allowed here is 22.5 m

    in my country it is not longer legal to strech frames and add axles

    because before some years it was quite popular to get papers from for example mb 1619 and import 3axle tipper from germany and change its chassis number and those people make approval like that is converted truck....

    The last axle is added to it. But it's added by scania it self.
    Because this truck was first a 8x4.

    i cant understand how it can be so heavy

    this chassis itself is not heavier than 10000kg for sure max 10500

    this bpw axle is pretty light

    it is max 850kg

    hydraulics for axle steering is max 50kg but let we take axle 1000kg

    this is max 11500with truck chassis

    crane itself is 11300kg normal version this one is even lighter

    it require 600L of oil this is 500kg with tank pump and oil cooler

    so this should be 23300 without rear stabilizators and body

    stabilizators are max 500kg but let to be 700

    this is 24000kg

    body cant be heavier than 2000kg

    but where is rest weight another 10000kg???????????

    The deck is made of steel. Because the haul train parts on it.
    For the rest i don't know i have only read the story.

    With google translation you can read it to, but some times it has a rare translation.
