that is a beautiful piece of work. would be so proud to have designed it and see it finally finished, and it's just so many little things and brilliant. runner wheels, lifters, move-able turn-tables. amazing.

Great way of carrying your second trailer to the forest no need discontent great idea wish as kiwi thought of this .

BPW is very popular in Australia for Trailer axles (Regarded as one of the best). Western Star's are imported, Kenworth are built locally in Melbourne. We have a good variety of European trucks as well.

Man, that is so freaking COOL! I've got a fascination for novel construction equipment, and I've NEVER seen this before! Really good! Informative, too!

Imagine the design brief: Here is a blank sheet of paper - design a self loading extendable trailer. Just where do you start? How many prototypes did this take? I'm impressed!

Advantages: Lower Tyre Wear, better fuel economy, better manoeuvrability when empty, extra weight on drive when empty for better traction getting back into the bush, treated as a general access vehicle when empty so is not affected by road train restrictions of daylight operation and scholl bus time restrictions that apply in Western Australia.

@leejames198214 жыл бұрын
the process of it unloading would take around 5 mins, then another 5 mins to load it.... this video has been speed up to make it look like it unloads fater than it really does. but still it is great engineering and i can see it would have its benifets. nice vid

@gm16v14916 жыл бұрын
I'd go along with that. BPW are the best, I've got a Barker trailer with York axles and a Southern Cross with BPW and the BPWs never give any trouble.

Not construction equipment, Scout - this is some serious logging equipment! :) The second trailer is used only on the forest roads as well as the first but the second is used only on the roads!

I wouldn't say the USA is behind the world in technology. They make the best and most reliable trucks and engines. Kenworth over here is #1 seller in class 8 and outsells Volvo 2:1, the next competitor. But in Australia we're a long way in front when it comes to trailer technology.......as you can see!

Is BPW a common brand of trailer axle in Australia ? You use American trucks, but European axles: Most American trailers have north american axles, the Europeans dont sell in America and Americans dont sell in Europe, it seems.
