Nice pictures, they look fine, no need to upload new.
Just curious on the hitch on the trailer behind the tractor. It has cylinders and a extra pivot point in addition to the hitch pin. I'm assuming its a cab controlled just for tighter turning radius?
I do like seeing how they do things elsewhere, most of the equipment used in europe seems more compact than what we use here. Old narrow roads and tight working quarters. For instance - there are hardly any cab over tractor trailer trucks in use in the US, but that's all I see in most pictures from europe. I'm sure you need the shorter turning radius there.
I'm in the crane game, and I see lots of pictures of "city" cranes, and the speirings portable AT tower cranes in europe, neither of which are a US thing (there's a few here, but only special application).
