    Ok but do you have any idea how those support beams, do you think that they are possible to extend by hydraulics or something?

    How about low part of trailer for example first truck on trailer seems to be impossible to unload without them. Some people told think they use cranes for this ,and i dont think so

    Those four DAF XF tractors have a weight of about 30,000kg. That leaves about 10,000kg for the weight of the truck and trailer (European weight limit of 40,000kg/88,000lbs.)

    So, what is the weight of 'your' tractors?

    No, the coupling is directly behind the rear axle of the truck, so under the truck.
