You won't see this in America because they like there heavyweight loads long and wide on the road from what ive seen. impressive weight that you carried.
Lovely footage as usual ! I see a "dead cat" in the upper right ..LOL Glad Im not the only one who has done that!! Had to give mine a hair cut! Cheers Gregg
I believe the tractors are 4 WD, not 6 WD (you can see the front axle in the rear set is different to the other two...). Also I believe the engines on the trailers are for steering, braking and lifting, not traction.
impressive that only 2two 8x4 trucks can create enough trackion on gravel ground to move nearly 700t! 26t axle load at the trailers is also not bad. thanks for uploading
do they move through towns both day and night? is the puller and pusher trucks hooked by computers or does the operator work the fuel feed and gears on the pusher?
hello . till today the trucks arent`t electronically connected like for example spmt"s are at huge moves... itss till the teamwork and experience in tandem moves. but you`ll be right for the future. there are running different test with connected trucks for more efficiency. here is one nice video which shows perfect, how important teamwork and heavy load transports is. the adams crew works perfectly together, even with 2 different truck types, while the paule gang is with its thinkings more at the beer at the evening than at shifting to the right moment. and the pull o the schwandner truck talks for itself! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cpCXtgoLU-s.html
The new volvo and scania make thier power from turbos.Their ''pure power'' is around 500-600 bhp.The older mercedes is around 580 bhp pure power.So hope that answers your question.
Interresting. Are you an engineer from Scania? And how does "pure power" matter in the first place. And they probably don´t care about 20 horsepower or so if the Mercedes is somehow a bit cheaper or so. It just doesnt matter what truck you use if you dont need the maximum power of 700+ HP.
To answer your question about being an engineer no im not.But my father has been driving heavy duty loads for over 15 years now and is a truck mechanic for 20. Pure power is the pushing power you get at the start when you just start pushing the trailer.The turbo doesnt kick in at the first few gears and on low revs so a pure powered engine has the advantage.Turbo power matters on a bit less heavy loads because its better for going straight when you need the power in some key situations. Pure power helps alot in going uphill and on uneven terrain where the turbo just cant kick in and do the work. So basically the 730 hp scania has 550ish without the turbo. Also the turbo restricts the truck.In some cases it can pull the air from components that need it more. Back in the day old mans like the fe 600a could go up to 1000hp of pure power.Amazing beasts Hope that answers any of your questions.
