(...) raise up to reduce tire contact during non-loaded travel? How many of 'em are steerable? I'm curious as to how the two driven rear axles would be constructed with suspension. That's something I've always wanted to build. TJ (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

Hi, I had a close look at the drawing at the bottom of the page: it looks like the first three axles as well as the last axle are steerable. It also looks like only the non steerable axles are powered. Greetings, David PS: Now I'd like to see a (...) (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

(...) It has a 580 hp 16-litre V8 engine (built by Scania). Axle three can be raised up. I'm not sure if it concerned the 6th axle as well. (...) The tractor is 12x4 driven (driven axles 4 and 5). The three front axles are steered, as well as the (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

(...) That's correct. (...) I have a picture of another 6-axle Scania of the same company, together with a 5-axle low loader (Nooteboom), loaded with a drilling rigg. I haven't got a picture on-line. Dennis (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

I believe that is a dolly with a fifth wheel on connected to the tractor, and then the trailer are connected to the dolly. "Thomas Avery" <thomas.avery@intec-hou.com> wrote in message news:H5J5vy.1JG@lugnet.com... (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

(...) I saw some US heavy haulers on pictures. I think those looks strange because of the length, the ammount of dollies and the non steered axles. These vehicles doesn't fit on the Dutch roads! Like the 6-axle tractor the vehicle needs a lot of (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)
