  • This rig is 198' long, 15'5" wide, 350,000 lbs and 19 axles. It's amazing to watch this thing maneuver around the parking lot. Another video will be uploaded soon, showing this rig being loaded onto the S.S. Badger.

    The back part looks like it is powered so it can pivot on it's own without the truck moving. Is that correct or does it just seem that way?

    • @carlorea74
      @carlorea74 Před 2 lety

      You need the truck moving, otherwise you cannot steer, the rear half of the 19 axle is powered only for steering the three axle groups.

    Does the rear have it's own power unit,and is it some sort of hydraulic drive?

    • @nickcarter9538
      @nickcarter9538 Před 6 lety +3

      I was thinking the same thing, I think it must have a hydraulic drive on the rear bogie powered by whatever was screaming away in the grey box, there is no way the tractor could cause that movement at the rear.

    • @derekwhite9932
      @derekwhite9932 Před 6 lety +1

    • @mattkasper4457
      @mattkasper4457 Před 6 lety +1

      The truck pulles it all and the rear has hydrolic steering just lile the front. At eachaxle set on the trailor pivet in the center to get the steer.

    • @nickcarter9538
      @nickcarter9538 Před 6 lety +1

      Yes I understand the steering mechanism of the rear bogie sections, but the loading orientation of the trailer mechanism would be colossal to get the rear of the trailer to move two or three times as fast as the front as appears to be the case.

    • @martinpoulsen6564
      @martinpoulsen6564 Před 6 lety +1

      It's hard to determine by the RPM's on the APU, if it is used for traction as well as steering. It would make perfect sense, but it also might depend on how old the rig is. The fact that it goes down a lot in RPM's, when steering action is applied, could suggest that it is a smaller engine, used for steering only. It seems it would not have to work as hard to make the turn, if it had to drive a pump for propulsion as well. That it would have a more linear power use. Hard to tell though.

  • @ericwsmith7722
    @ericwsmith7722 Před 6 lety +1

    Not for nothing, but for what that whole rig costs ( and what they charge to use it ) you would think the guy steering the back could maybe get like a seat, and a roof over his head ?

  • @Senkino5o

      joe woodchuck no training facility, you just have to start at the "bottom" and work your way up, listen to the guys that have PROVEN that they have been there done that ( or something very much like that because no two jobs are the same ) and be able to learn from others mistakes.

    • @austinmoehring6110
      @austinmoehring6110 Před 8 měsíci +1

      There has to be a way for that vehicles tires to be able to slide across the asphalt instead. It must be hard on the asphalt and equipment to make a turn like that. I was thinking like teflon "sleds" that can be pulled down onto the tires. Sorta like a motorcycle visor. Just leave one axle to brake. When your going that slow it should be safe. Or have a crew lay some sheets down as it drags along the asphalt.
