Only in Australia do they make cabover Kenworths like this including the new K220

Great that you showed these combinations running along average looking roads and roundabouts. I was a Class 1 driver in the UK (single trailer) before emigrating down under over 10 years ago and getting my MC licence (road train). There is a ridiculous myth that these combinations simply couldn't operate in the UK due to allegedly having much smaller roads than Australia. However, most main roads in the UK and certainly the motorway networks are as good as anything in Australia and wouldn't have a problem with handling at least B Double combinations. I remain completely baffled as to why they have never been legislated for use on UK Roads, even if restricted to higher class of roads.

Same argument here in the U.S. but with such a powerful and well funded rail lobby, trucking has no chance of getting higher mass limits

Great to see you are still involved in the industry. We worked together many years ago with K&S when I ran Laminex Ballarat. Safe travels old mate.

We do love our cab-overs! Ive never actually driven a conventional truck... It would be weird having a bonnet (hood) sticking out in front 😂😂 Weve got some interesting combinations down here now as you have shown here

Some of the most creative combinations in the world. Thank you for watching

@@TheGrumpyPete we're all about squeezing every last bit of productivity out of our rigs 😂 keep an eye out for a big 4 axle single with 33 (yes an odd number) of pallets.. the back pallet is in the centre so the rear of the trailer stays within the law when turning 🤯

The closest thing to seeing these types of trucks in the U.S. is in Michigan, with its centipede trailers.

Alot of the race car teams have the K200 or euro cabovers due to the moveability of them.

As I was typing…😠the abc designation was meant for the way the second or third trailer was coupled. A, ethical a dolly/ converter, b, trailers that had a fifth wheel on the back of the frame the secondary trailer coupled to, and c was for a dolly that didn’t pivot at the connection,

@TheGrumpyPete 2 ай бұрын

He abc logic makes sense as it’s so confusing these days with all the different trailer combinations available under NHVAS

A truck with two trailers is called a B double, B being the second letter of the alphabet. To call a truck with three trailers a B triple is stupid. Common sense would dictate they be called a C triple.

@signo3105 2 ай бұрын

He is correct B stands for the type of coupling the trailer connects too. The only other type is A (ringfeeder)
