Good snaps Martin. That driving school Merc reminds me of Swiss internal trucks. The weight limit is 28 t gross. The O/D’s on cobble stones used to have massive V8 Scania sleepers with about the same size tipper body as the Merc & a dinky trailer to match.
The reason for this size is that they can use it as an ‘normal’ tracktor.
Martin…You mean that body is demountable…?

Yep dan you have an tracktor whith an long wheelbase
Some nice pics there.
Cheers
Martin Benjamins OK .Then that makes sense… Do they have dual controls…?

Usual Great Pics
Martin, theyre fantastics pics 
Was wondering, i notice that nearly all the truck’s have just 2 roof mounted spot lights, is there a law that limits the number of spot lights 
In the UK it seems that for those, who wish to fit roof lights, at least 4 and sometimes 6, are needed 
Also most of the trucks are Tag lift axles, here mid lifts are more common. Does this configuration handle better in poor conditions, I thought it might be the other way round

Got to agree, fantastic pictures Someone really has the talent 
About spotlights, I’d guess Norway has same legislation about them that here in Finland and in the most of EU. It states that “reference level” of simultaneously lit lights must be 75 or under. Usually trucks own lights have reference level of 17.5, and spotlights have 17.5 or 37.5 Here police can and will fine driver if combined reference level exceeds level they judge to be reasonable, which can be anything above 75. There is also limitation on total number of high-beam headlights installed, not matter if they are lit or not, but I’m not sure what it is. I think it might be eight high-beam headlights. Only country I know to have explicitly rejected this part of legislation concerning headlights, is Sweden.
Also, those spotlights on trukcs in Martin pictures are there to get road illuminated, not to make truck look “good”.

At winter midlift might give better handling as there is all the time weight on front wheels, even when running empty or partially loaded. What speaks against midlift, is you can never get as much of traction that you get with taglift. When going slowly up steep, icy hill you welcome all the traction you can get. This also means lifting axle up with full load.
I’m sure Martin can post some pictures of those “small” hills with “plenty” amount of road for accelerating before uphill begans after sharp turn
Those top lights work well in the snow in Sweden . The low lights always get covered in slush & become useless. Even the long distance busses have them. They are essential kit in a blizzard. They were also handy for night driving in places like Romania or Morocco. They lit up the whole village & you could see the donkeys & locals wandering about in the dark. They saved my bacon a few times.

Yes, 2 extra high beam lights are allowed in Norway…

Very intresting, my only experience with a tag lift, was an S ride F10 many years ago, and alot of the work i was doing then was agricultural. I used to find that on muddy farm tracks, or slippery roads, it would want to go straight whilst ever you had the power on whilst loaded 
yes it’s winter in Norway…
Awesome pics Ben. Wish I had the first pic to look at in reality through my window. 
More pics required!
