Those axles steerable?
NZ Logger

Yes the back three steer. It is acctually a three rows of eight with a two rows "clip on",when in three rows the back row only steers and when five rows the back three steer. Steering is hydraulic and can be set to "caster" which just follows the truck or you can steer by controls in the cab or the rear pilot can have a remote if needed. Built by TRT here in new Zealand is capable of over one hundred metric tonnes payload.

Different rules there down under.
Multiple pieces cant be hauled on the same load here if it puts you over 80K gross weight, no matter what you are permitted for.
They also seem to let you run a lot taller than we can. 14' is legal, and permits up to 16', but any taller and it is a whole new world.

its the same down here, if a load is divisable then you must do that, in this case we would have to remove the pole , cab etc and depending on where it was going we may have to removes all the ropes and rigging as well to get the weight down to minimum.
We have a miximum legal height of 4.25 mtrs, how ever overdimention vehicles can obtain permits to be higher but they lead to all sorts of problems including lines companies traveling with the load, rail crossings, bridges etc and even though you might have neccasary permits you are still liable for anything you hit or damage.
