LEGO Technic Semi Trailer with Sliding Curtains

The present trailer is fully remote controlled and has sliding curtains at both sides which can be opened. Like this it is possible to load the trailer from both sides with forklifts, telehandler, and other machines. The opening mechanism of the sliding curtains works with two cables at the floor of the trailer and a gearbox at the front of the trailer which powers two winches at each side of the trailer. The truck is built 100% of LEGO parts and controlled with PoweredUP motors and hub. Furthermore, the model has a steered third axle and parking brakes at the first and second axle. All axles are suspended on rubber dampers. The model is built in scale 1:16.5 and fits to my Scania tractor unit.
Remote controlled functions:
-Sliding Curtains left side: 1 x PU L motor
-Sliding Curtains right side: 1 x PU L motor
-Gearbox for directions of the curtains: 1 x PU L motor
-Stands and parking brakes: 1 x PU L motor
-Steering of the third axle: forced steering over the king pin
Manual functions:
-Rear gates with locking mechanism

This blew my mind when I first saw it.

[@functionalTechnic]

yes, it is unexpected and I'm happy how it works with remote controll :)

[@n.gravey3735]

I won't comment on the lack of reversing lights and sounds.... Awesome!!!!!!

[@functionalTechnic]

you can optimize it ;) would be nice

[@leokrimbacher7217]

Die Funktion vom Trailer ist einfach nur Weltklasse .

[@tatrovak563]

Really great semi-trailer, the opening side walls are very impressive, but I would like to ask about the steered third axle, how is the forced steering solved, do you have a lever mechanism that steers the axle depending on the rotation of the semi-trailer in relation to the tractor?

[@functionalTechnic]

yes, king pin is locked at the 5th wheel and like that it takes the angle compared to the truck. unfortunately it has alot of play but it works.

Wow 😯 so smooth 🤩

[@Nico71Fr]

This car needs a buwizz 3.0 for full performance

[@jesseverwoert9769]

Nice trailer build, do you have some photos of the steering mechanism?

[@functionalTechnic]

not now. But it is simple: the king pin needs to be fixed in the 5th wheel. Then the steering goes trough the trailer floor with an axle to the rear axle on a gear rack as in other lego model. the king pin you can see at the images at rebrickable or my webseite

[@SaperPl1]

Nice. Is the threads/winches are only on the bottom or both bottom and top of the sides?

[@functionalTechnic]

At both sides a cable runs at the bottem. at the top is no cable but the propulsion of the back winches goes trough the roof

[@edoardodoni1261]

Are you using the powered up App to control Truck and Trailer?

[@functionalTechnic]

no, I use the BrickController2 app. But for the trailer I added instruction how to control the trailer with the powered up app

[@mephInc]

[@mephInc]
