Nice pic of a Pegaso that’s on lowloader work.
See David, according to the Yanks, that’s a modern trailer!
Found an example of a Nooteboom David, it’s really that easy.

Thanks Patrick, not quite as I remember it but nowhere near what that bloke was doing in the Yank video.

Interesting looking trailer Chris, I wonder if that’s where Broshuis got the idea from.

Have a look at this Chris, same idea, but a bit more modern
Like it Patrick, the job would have been so much easier if we had them back in the days,used to do a lot of over height loads 18ft and over always a challenge.
Now found a picture of part of the other trailer I mentioned earlier.

This must have been a slog for those little Bedfords

That’s what Dave said as well, when I had to tip in Britanny and showed him how the Nooteboom lowloader worked.
Remote controled steering for the axles on the trailer, was like magic to him😉
I wonder how many of you in UK and Europe have to put up with what my mate Kyle experienced in the States this week.
The other driver and I made it to within 200 miles of delivery in Alberta. We should deliver tomorrow morning. 3 days ahead of schedule.
when I’m empty I’m heading to Billings Montana to swap with another driver and take a legal load back to the same job site in Alberta.
We had a bit of excitement today in Montana. The big load route is to go west out of Shelby to Cutbank then north and back east on progressively worse roads until you are right at the Sweetgrass crossing. The roads went from paved to paved with no lines to ground asphalt to gravel of various widths. Some was very skinny (Less then 20’) and some was nice and wide (40’ plus).
We are 17’ wide. we met a 16’ going to other way and were able to squeeze by with ease. The next load was 25’ wide and of course we met him at the skinniest part of the detour. Luckily he had 12’ or better off the ditch side and we only had to backup about half a mile to find a passing location.
I like the ‘only’ bit about reversing a 17 foot wide load half a mile. 
Looks alright to me. 
Very interesting, but I wish the narrator would slow down a bit and take a breath, esopecially using lots of technical language it was difficult for me to take it all in.
I don’t remember the disaster, I was in Australia at the time, but much later during a short time on an Australian railway forum I read about a similar accident between a road train and a train, presumably on the newly completed Ghan line, in the NT.
I wonder if you remember that SDU and if you have any information on it.
