driven rear wheels?

Amazing, I've seen trucks with loads as long as that one, not sure if it is rear wheel driven but I know that the rear axles can turn very sharp, even sharper than on the video here.

In Munich we have these busses as shown in the picture below.  It is a bus with a trailer unit.  What is interresting is that the trailer turns itself as well.  I noticed the other day how they effortlesly go around tight corners.

We have these, but have no idea if the rear turns

Dual wheels at the back, so not steerable.

Not driven, but steerable.

 

A guy I know is an engineer that specializes in abnormal loads. It's a very interesting field.

For the Caledon windfarm project he had to build a computer model of the terrain around one specific corner to see if they'll make it. And for certain components they had to take a different route as there was a bridge that wasn't strong enough.

Yeah, saw something similar on discovery or something where they also moved a massive object in the states or europe(not sure). They also used steerable trailers and they also have motorised dolly's

Very interesting. Oh yes, they also did a computer generated test.

I should have called you before I bought my dog a better new kennel.......and found that it was too big to go through the door in the back garden, too heavy to lift over the high electrified fence, impossible to get over the spiked wall......and I had to saw the roof off the thing to get it to where it had to be in 2 parts. Now it actually works better because you can take the roof off to clean it inside. So, in my rather haphazard kind of way, I got it just perfectly right.

We have that as well but the rear part is just a pure trailer. Also very common here.  If you look at my other pic you will notice it is a different setup.

This is more exciting about where things are going with AR...just the tip of the iceberg so to say
