    I'm not a truck driver, so I will never use this information. It was interesting nonetheless. Very detailed and looks surprisingly easy! Really good looking product. Good job guys!

    I am a steerman for one these trailers. It's not a hoax it's real. We haul wind turbine blades on them. The axles on the trailer steer by a remote which let's us take turns. Which is my job. And yes if the wind is to high it will make the truck go out of control if you're not careful. Its actually a fun job.

    you forgot to say that "we recommend that you have escort vehicles to help you in every step from extending the trailer to load, to retracting the trailer after the unload." LOL
    awesome video.
    and you should put a link to your site in the description of every video you upload.

    Quality, all around. I'm not sure what I am more impressed with; the design and engineering of the trailer itself, or how good of a product demonstration video this is. I doubt I'll ever come across this trailer or have a use for it personally; but after watching this video once, I feel pretty confident that I could extend it without any issues.
    I am surprised that the three axels on the trailer remained in the same spot though. Before the video started I assumed that the axel toward the front was connected to a separate extension from the two rear axels; I figured it would be closer toward the front of the trailer to help support the middle of the trailer, and possibly been able to turn making it easier to maneuver the trailer since it is so long. It makes me wonder how much large wind turbine blades weigh, and how much of that weight is at the end that is connected to the turbine.
    Are there any other practical uses for this trailer?

    • @XLTrailers1
      @XLTrailers1  7 лет назад +10

      Hi Dalton, thanks for taking a look at our video! The reason all the axles stay together at the rear is because they are all connected to the outside, largest box beam. Since the blades are rigid enough to support themselves, a center support is not needed. Having one axle group is also easier to control and maneuver. Wind tower blades are typically between 30,000 and 45,000 pounds. This trailer is also useful for hauling bridge beams, or other materials that are long, rigid and have a low center of gravity.

    Nylon guides would of helped in reducing friction inside the beams as well as keeping the paint intact.

    But why are the air, electric and hydrolic lines not follded in a spiral with a spring, round a long thin telescopic cilinder?
    That whay will easy up the extending job and speeding itt up as well.

      Not with the steering system at the rear. you can turn it in areas you almost cant get a regular semi in to.

      128ft long divided by 2 = 64ft of clearance needed to turn left.
      104ft clearance to turn right.
      Average intersection is 150ft wide so .. turning from a 2 lane to a divided 4 lane you pivot the steers and you merge from left lanes over median to right lane.
      Other words you get a piece of paper that says you can jump the curb legally from the left lane to the right lane turning right at the intersection.

    Question: Why can't you pull all the pins at once while extending the trailer?

    • @cctrollz5706
      @cctrollz5706 6 лет назад

      I'm not a professional here but my guess would be the bigger section is stronger and if you dont need all the length it makes more sense to just use the strongest part of the trailer.

    • @twayland6186
      @twayland6186 6 лет назад

      When you the stopping points for collapsing it are probably much stronger the the points keeping it from getting pulled out all the way.

    • @canttalk
      @canttalk 5 лет назад

      I am actually a steerman for one of these trailers the reason we dont pull all the pins it actually makes it easier to stretch it out instead of having to fight the pins when it's all stretched. If that makes since

    With that you dont need to uncouple and couple air + EBS , power , hydraulics !

    How much of a pain in the ass it probably is to make turns. If it was possible for it to articulate in the middle of the trailer, maybe it be a little easier, but this trailer is probably made to haul really long pieces of material. Like pieces for a bridge. I seen a truck haul a long piece of concrete wall for a highway on a trailer similar to this. The trailer was real long obviously, and looked like this trailer. Maybe it was this trailer. Lol
