Now that's a trailer, that you can side load a 385, keep the tracks perpendicular to the deck and still not have much, if any, track hanging off the side.:cool2
Here is a Mine Ranger 410 ton capacity trailer being delivered to a minesite in Central Queensland. Tractor unit is a new 793. The trailer has 793 wheel-ends fitted with oil cooled brakes. A 4 cyl Perkins diesel engine circulates the oil through the brakes and coolers.
The last 2 photos show a Drill-tec drill being transported. The largest load I have seen being moved on this rig is a Cat 5235 excavator.
Is that a quick hitch at the front and loading ramps at the front? If that is so it would eliminate screwing around and backing into loading ramps with a load on.
The trailer has oil cooled brakes only - no drive. The 50hp Perkins would not give much tractive effort. Yes, it has a quick hitch on the gooseneck for loading. The rear engine supplies hydraulic power to work the ramps.
This is our big low loader. 350 ton trailer pulled by a 777. That is a Hitachi 3600 on the back. The pics are approaching #2 on the back #3 looking down on the prime mover from the back deck of the excavator.
