I’ve used these rear steer extra long trailers, can’t say I’m a fan , they move round country lanes nice but you need to be very careful when going on and off a bay because of the rear swing out of the end of the trailer,it’s easy to clip the neighbouring unit, especially if you are in a tight yard, 👎🏻

You state that an LST can carry a greater payload it can't the max payload is 44tons. What it can carry is greater volume or pallets but only up to and including 44tons. Would you agree?

Still shorter than standart american 53 feet trailer (16.1m).
@petewasere20003 жыл бұрын
What you guys are forgetting is that a normal 40 foot trailer has way more positive grip on the most rear axle making its wheelbase longer . Now with those 50 foot rear steer axle trailers the rear steer actually helps shorten its theoretical wheelbase by a huge amount it almost acts like a 30foot urban trailer. Glad we can use these seen loads P.s… I know the vid is old just thought I’d comment haha

great going forward not so good manouvering into tight spaces and parking bays.you can soon hit something with the extended swing out that happens when negotiating tight spots. u spend 30 years learning to drive a class one then they bring a truck out where u have to use different driving lines.

These 51 foot trailers are becoming more popular now. Asda have five based at Belvedere and Eddie Stobart's have some too. They're still a 44 ton payload though, which is 6 tons under STGO Cat 1 at 50 tons. Incidentally, an 8 foot unit puts the vehicle 2 feet shy of Cat 1 maximum of 61.75 feet. A long nose unit would exceed that. I've been told that companies require a special permit for their use but drivers don't need to take an extra test as the standard C+E covers them.

I used to take 18.5M tri-axel extenders loaded with steel into tighter yards than that with no rear steer at all, you need to take it in to some of the older supermarket DC's where you can struggle with a standard 13.6M to give a real comparison.

Lance Roark Not at all - these are European trucks - made for comfort with 4 point cab air suspension and air suspended seats. Like riding a magic carpet. The wheel base is standard issue for working with13.6 M/45 Ft trailers within UK/EU length regs, the max being 17mtr Tractor& Trailer nose to tail - excepting these trials with these new 48ft rear steers of course.
@lanceroark63869 жыл бұрын
Trust me. After driving a 300" truck (7.62m), I couldn't be paid enough to drive that. I understand that it's all you get in the UK, but I would find a new profession. At 70 mph, hitting a bump in a tractor with a 230" wheel base is absolutely different from a 300". Cutting that in half? Your front end has no time to settle before the back tandems get jolted.
@garethifan10349 жыл бұрын
Well each to his own. Personally I couldn't care less about 300'of wheelbase or having a bonnet in front as it's never been an option for us. I know there is no way would I prefer any US truck to a smooth modern European. My comment was not intended to bring about criticism of trucking equipment elsewhere - rather just to inform about the differences. I'm sorry you took that as an opportunity to criticize.
@lanceroark63869 жыл бұрын
Lol. I wasn't being critical. I guess you're just ignorant to the reality that our trucks have those high tech gizmos called airbags in the suspension and seat frame too, but now you don't have to be. The longer the frame length, the less movement in the entire vehicle. It's like difference in a 50ft ocean going vessel and a 300ft vessel. A 10ft wave feels different in each. You haven't driven a long truck with 50,000 pounds on it, you don't know what it feels like. I have driven high end short frame trucks. They suck. I actually like the look of a truck without a "bonnet." You need to get off your high horse. Just because you think the US is full of Neanderthals doesn't mean it actually is. This crap about high tech UK equipment being better than US equipment is retarded. We get the same stuff over here. We have trucks running just as clean, and just as efficiently as you do. Volvo doesn't give us trucks from the 70's. Moron.

Til you've been and tried em out - all you're doing is blowing out hot air from a certain orifice. The point about Neanderthals - which actually I never made - has been well illustrated by yourself without my aid. 'Way to go'

It's easier than you'd think, basically as long as your tractor unit lines up straight with the trailer, you'll go in a straight line.

Command rear steer system, most likely manufactured by Tridec. Basically works via a turntable hooked up to the 5th wheel, has a beam running to the turntable that the rear axle is attached. We've been building quite a lot of these recently. Much better than self tracking axles if you need to maneuver and no need to lock it in the straight position when reversing.
