This one any good ?

Yea that’s a good one alright, i don’t see many of them about.

Wheel Nut:

Thats a config ive never seen before? Midlift?

It looks like a unit has been added onto a short tri axle trailer?

Dads old DAF
It’s a 8wheeler but the last axle steers it’s a more a sliding canopy


The turning circle of that must be horrendous with the gap inbetween the front axle.


It’s more of an American 8 wheeler layout, I’ve seen a couple round here but generally they had rear steers.

The configuration is known as a Tridem setup. But they are not always all driven, sometimes they will have a tag axle

It is…the rear axle steers as well :smiley: :smiley: :wink:

Yes but in a camp limp wristed look at me sort of way. :wink:

They should have had a twin steer on the front, double drive and a rear steer tag and done it properly like the Dutch ones :laughing:
