They have something similar in 0:50 Canada but instead of 3, 40' footers we haul 2 53' footers
Hi, the trucks here, in Australia, are usually around the 650hp to 800hp with some of the Road Trains going up to 900 to 1000+hp. A few weeks ago, I saw a CZcams video that showed an Aussie 3 trailer road-train being reversed into a huge warehouse or shopping centre/mall (pronounced like "well") and doing it in one shot! Also, if you want to watch lots of real life road-train action there is or was a TV show here called "OUTBACK TRUCKERS". Well worth watching even if they do dramatize thing a bit. They are a common sight on the open toad though. Those and large B-doubles.
Thanks for sharing
@@DusankReactions Not a problem, mate. My pleasure.
In the northern territory they have 4 trailers behind the prime mover. Iit takes forever to pass them.
well stop typing and get your eyes on the road
the 4 trailers are side tippers? they are shorter than a semi trailer. the overall length of a road train is regulated.
I can imagine 😅
I have a CB radio I use to communicate with the Road Train driver and ask if the road ahead is clear. The driver normally slows down a little to let me pass him quickly.🦘🦘🦘
You are correct, I am from Western Australia. They cannot go into cities. We have alot of long vast stretches of road and it's easier to do trucks to deliver. The desert areas are quite sandy so we can't make rail and not much live outside the metro or semi rural areas to warrant paying billions to make rail. I believe only 2 trailers are allowed in the metro area within a special timeframe. Less than 19m long. We have alot of permits to register and carry to travel with the long trailers. They also have to be inspected and hosed off at every state border. The mines can have like 8 trailers and go between the mine and the closest rail port to offload to bring to the city. If you feel like it look up " Outback Truckers" tv program.
Thanks for sharing
Very good video again, thanks
Thanks again!
Try checking out the "caterpillar", either Qld or NT in Australia. I believe there are two of them going from mine to port
Could you send a link
Even if Australia had an extensive rail network, there would still be a need for road trains, as it wouldn't be viable for the railway to service outside the largest towns.
:)
when a prime mover starts pulling six or seven trailers. that getting a bit big
:)
Howdyyawl from the land down under. We live in a big country with big distances between cities & towns. Some of these trucks deliver to remote outback towns. Not enuff respect is give to the truck drivers in OZ. A huge responsibility to operate these monsters on the road safely to bring vital goods to everyone in OZ. Remember, only one person is in the cab with all the weight & wheels. Hail to the truckee. Keeping it real 😊
Never heard of "two up"mate. Many trucks run 24/7 so one driver drives, the other driver sleeps.
Thanks for the info
@@terrymarshall4964 that depends on the company they work for. That is why most trickies live in their rigs. Life on the road. Love it. Keeping it real
Your damn head takes more of screen than we would like
