I love big rigs and machinery and that is by far the coolest trailer technology I have ever seen
Thank you driver for doing that demonstration
thank you, for your time to explain; i didn't know how it works
That is real impressive,you wouldn't want a rocky operating this machine without you training them.
Awesome engineering!!!!
I drove a nine axle with a spike or booster axles and it’s a lot of work, after unhooking and loading and hooking up and chaining down plus sweeping off your trailer and cleaning the dirt off the equipment 😢, let’s just say I didn’t need much exercise back then! Not the case now, however! 😂 Be safe out there boys! 🇺🇸💪👊
Thanks for making the video, I really enjoyed watching how it works.
Lol
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream new series online ?
We had 2 Cozad trailers in my unit in the Army. In CA we were not allowed to pull our 4-axle combat trailers on the highway when loaded. I got to drive one of them right before I got out.
Great engineering
what a big rig enjoyed the vid thx

This would put a dent in the piggy bank for sure.
Had a job down in maple valley and used to drive by that yard everyday
awesome trailer, i want make a trailer like that
all big dollars for the people who need the best.
Cool

I want it.. Although I should probably get some lowboy experience before I go O/O and buy my own trailer
to slick.
The GM is Gary Merlino Const. Seattle WA. They do a great job and have nice equipment.
way cool
Сильно!!!
I pulled a seibert that was close to this many years then moved up to a aspen
Yikes, that's really a big boy, okay not a toy. 😁
Really nice of the driver to show you how it works.
Question:
From the cab of the tractor how does the driver line up the connections?
By using his mirrors or a spotter
6a
How match?
With that axle,deck configuration what is the capacity of the trailer, and is the trailer deck detachable so that you can interchange various deck lengths to suit the job?and sweet trailer.
65 ton capacity. Total scale weight for everything is about 58,000 lbs. As an example, this set-up with the deck extension you could haul a Cat 637 scraper which is about 120K. And yes, the necks are detachable & interchangeable between the jeep & main trailer--the shorter neck also has a flip. The whole system can shorten up quite a bit if you need it to, especially if the jeep/long neck ride on the lowboy. Lifting the power tower adds ground clearance to cross train tracks or uneven sites.
Interesting, I live in Kent WA about 20 minutes from where this trailer is parked. Are you local?
Steve - I sold these trailers into Wyoming a couple months ago to move a scraper spread but we have a couple other 65 ton lowboys for sale in the Seattle area -- nothing like this though. I grew up by Foss' Grocery in Covington and now work out of Gig Harbor and Tacoma. Drop me a note if you're looking for some iron: tc@pacrimcat.com --- Tom
Got to be really in it to win it when you go this big.
Question? With all of those axles and assuming each axle has air brakes, is it hard on the trucks air compressor to recover especially when using the brakes a lot in certain times like when slowing down or pumping them on and off(not hard stopping pumps) but half pumps like going down a small hill or backing down a small decline when loaded? Are there ever any times where the air may drop to under the danger level? Do you have to beef up the compressor to compensate for all of those extra brakes?
rob peters no sir no need to change the compressor no difference in air gauge really.
that's why each axle has its own air tank
Each axle or group has a local air reservoir, fed from the emergency line. Relay valves, signaled by the service line, transfer air from these tanks to the brakes as needed, and that gives the compressor time to refill those tanks. As brake application pressures are rarely higher than 60psi, the system has a lot of capacity to maintain the pressure over most situations.
Truck probably has a bigger compressor then a van hauler. Mainly for airing up to start. After that not a big deal
If you bust a hydraulic hose or fitting WATCH OUT! I Tend to like the Old-Skool lowboys and flatbeds.
Cozad made in SO Dak ?
So how would you put the Jeep on the trailer and hook back up ? how would that work because it doesn't seem possible without a gooseneck to hook up to the tractor and the trailer. I guess without a crane and outside help to rearrange The trailer connection gooseneck back to the tractor with the Jeep on the trailer bed
You have two goosenecks! A really long one that attaches to the top of the jeeps and a shorter one that attaches to the bottom of the jeeps
So you basically back the jeeps into the trailer and detach the shorter gooseneck from the bottom and attach it to the trailer itself
That’s a west coast booster east coast the stinger would come straight out the top
Dachamp2001 no that's a east coast set up,west coast style usually have a evener or walking beam suspension set up on the rear,California is actually the only state that requires that but that's where the east west coast name comes into play
Never pulled a cozad my current wagon is a xl 71ton 3x3x3 west coast style and the cozad booster looks and function just like my stinger. Thats why i thought it was a west coast
Dachamp2001 so your west coast trailer has a nitro stinger on it?
Its a hydraulic 3 axles booster hook it on top pin it at the bottom. Then use the hydraulics to spread the weight across the axles it meets cali spec
Dachamp2001 interesting, four years ago my friends Talbert with same set up whent for his Cali inspection and they didn't ok him,maybe xl has something Talbert dont
What are rear 2 axles for?
Estonian Rescue Services rear Steer axles
So that you are able to carry more weight.
They call it a nitro tail. It is there for better weight distribution from the load. It all depends on the weight and state.
MrManuel1329 those re not steerable axles on this trailer
Estonian Rescue Services them there two axles follow them there three axles on that there trailer
I don’t even want to know how much that setup is worth..
price?

this in europe? no chance lol
No need for this in Europe, they use monsters like this in the US due to the "Bridge Act" in other word a wieght law due to the shite infrastructure in the US.
@@RickZune too long for UK
@@TheMcooper17 Yeah that to, but mainly better infrastructure, so cargo needing this in the US requires a normal lowbed in Europe.
@@RickZune always thought these were for like oversized 100 tonne machines
@@TheMcooper17 Nah they run uber long trailer for what we consider light loads, heck the Nordic countries run between 60-90 tons in regular fleet trucks.
This is a 12 axle rig. Not 8.
Gotta pay that driver at least $50 an hour just on straight time if not why do it. Drive a tank or a parking lot.
its to long
To me that just a waist of time and money hear in Australia we do thing different hydraulic ramps at the back widening trailer no shit like this crap and as many axial as you dare to have you can have rows of 8 tires if you want them . I pull a tri axial float behind the best rig that money can buy a 1996 old super liner with a 500 V8 motor if need be we can put a dolly under the front for extra weight
They have a trailer like to get nice and low to the ground as their bridges are a lot lower than in Australia.
Everyone knows that things are done differently, down under, that doesn't mean your way is better. We also have trailers, with hydraulic ramps at the back. But those are used for lite loads.
