Or in Australia we would take the wheels and tyres off and they would be one load and the machine would be the other.

I guess doing it that way would save some crane hire. biggrin

A bit like this. The inner rear wheels removed (dump truck facing backwards).

I just had a thought about chaining that unit onto two independent trailers.

Going around a bend, the outside red truck would have to drive faster than the inside red truck.

Even so the turning circle on the "Rig" would be enormous - (worse than a Y62).

Because the BIG truck has been loaded over the collapsible front section of the trailers, and seems to be jammed hard against both the front and back sections of the trailers, it is going nowhere. Neither truck would be able to get ahead of the other and any slight difference in distance travelled would be absorbed by tyre scuff, much as a part-time 4wd with diff locks does when it is left in 4wd and makes a sharp turn on a hard surface. Cheers.

P.S REAL BIG gear from around 1980s.
