    Why a 2 axle dolly and not a triple?

    • @mohitjeetsingh7765
      @mohitjeetsingh7765 6 месяцев назад +4

      triple dolly is mainly used for super heavy loads like fuel and mining.
      I guess it is just economical to used tandem instead of triple dolly, also govt. regulations might play a role.

    Really interesting channel youve got here. One thing ive often wondered is what sets apart a road train prime mover from a standard b double one? Given the weights etc wondered if the specifications are significantly different for the drive train/chassis etc?

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  5 месяцев назад

      Most of the time a double and double road train prime mover is no different. It's only when you start pulling more trailers and heavier weights does the diff get bigger.

    QUESTION ANYONE: Are red and blue airhose acting on the same brakedevices on the wheels?

    • @RoadTrainAdventures
      @RoadTrainAdventures  6 месяцев назад

      Yes. The maxi and brake is in the same device.

    • @jefftheaussie2225
      @jefftheaussie2225 6 месяцев назад +1

      There are two parts to the brake chamber. The back half is the maxi or spring brake and the front half is the section that is controlled by your foot. They are independent till the maxi is applied and then it pushes the service brake on. On the front or steer there is only the service brake chamber. Very simple and clever system that is cheap to maintain. If you can hear a big air leak when the foot brake is applied there is a hole in a diaphragm. They are all controlled by air tanks on the trailers and relay valves so they all work at the same time. There would be a delay before the brakes on the trailers came on otherwise. Jeff

I would love the bush/outback/country trucking and the way you guys handle things. No bullshit,Just handle it and solve it. Somthimes i tryd to solve some things like that. But than some other ''truckers'' came and sayd,dont do it noooooo,becose of insurance and some arguments that came up and were made up just not to do it. We dont have so much truckers anymore. Maybe the older truckers. They just spoild drivers. I cant be a part of that. Sorry for say it.
