guitarsam326 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Not sure if its geographically unique, but its unique all the same as I've never seen another one. This trailer is one our company uses to move forklifts and bobcats along with accompanying equipment. This is a load I moved this morning, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Here are some that are unique to our part of the country and several towns have similar rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Michigan has more axles because of the extra weight that they are allowed to carry here. They feel more axles to spread the weight out on, Just plain stupid. They can not leave the state that heavy so why carry that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngtiger1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Here's an oddball made by a company named Foremost, apparently specializing in oil exploration or deep brush/muskeg work mike Now, this is a pretty cool looking truck. Do you more photos of this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Saw another MAN toterhome cabover at Walmart yesterday. This one was from Germany. Wonder why so many European tourists come to Maine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That's usually where they start their cross country vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Actually I dare say they start at Halifax. Get them shipped over to the port there, drive through NS and NB and head through Maine to the US. I see all sorts of European campers on the roads here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) So, these Volvo FH cabovers may not be geographically unique, but they sure are pretty "unique" on our roads... Edited May 13, 2015 by BigBad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Over here they are quite common, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yikes! I never realized the difference in attachment points between North American and European trailers! That's a huge gap ahead of the lead trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here is an old picture of an even older vehicle: Half bus, half truck. DAF chassis. Over the windscreen you can read MELKERUTE wich translates in to milk route. This was used back in the day that farmers put the fresh milk in to these types of jars/cans: They used trucks to go around to farms to pick them up and take them to the dairy. But the bus above was also used to carry passengers. And here is another version that was quite common in earlier times. We call them Kombinertbuss (translates in to combined bus) and this is half bus and half truck that was very often used in rural areas where one would have the bus carrying passengers and also bringing goods and mail to people, stores, farms and companies. And here is a Scania with a narrow cab for carrying extra long loads of steel beams: And here you can see a fairly common way of moving shipping containers some years back (I took these pictures in early 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Volvo is famous for the Globetrotter cabs, but they also tried the Eurotrotter cab: And here is pictures of one of my planned modelling projects with Italeris Volvo FH kit: This one can also be a future project using one Revells Mercedes NG kits: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) ...And here you can see a fairly common way of moving shipping containers some years back (I took these pictures in early 2001) These side loaders for containers are still in use, at least here where I live.

Atmobil Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yes, I don't think they have stopped using them here either. The truck in the photos I took was on that day used to move containers within the harbour and good terminal area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zandmann Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah, seen those sideloaders in Finland too. Quite a lot to be exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
