WOW I’m a retired Mechanical Engineer who was in the transport industry for a long time and designed and built truck bodies here in Queensland Australia. That has to have been designed by a woman as we men don’t think laterally at all. Absolutely brilliant engineering truly extremely impressive. Would blow peoples minds at next yrs Truck Show here in Brisbane. I’m pretty much speechless about this, immense RESPECT TO THOSE INVOLVED in creating this.
People say Aussies punch above their weight, but the Kiwis, damn they can really take it to the next level. And I say this as an Aussie, impressed by the work these guys have done.
@@commodorenut Aussie’s do somethings great but still running drum brakes, 22.5’s, archaic designed chassis, no certs for drawbars and still running ABS, that’s dinosaur stuff!
They have to keep trying to limit Rd user charges, which in NZ are a bloody rip off,and ,,, the money raised doesn't go to funding rds,look at what that shithead Ardearn did with millions from the trucking industry,,,,Rd User charges are the Thin Edge of the Wedge,no wonder everything is so expensive there!
It should have remotes on it to control it from a safe distance don’t like the idea of the guy crouched down beside it working the levers if it rolled over he’s toast but otherwise not a bad idea. How how does the tailgate of the truck work when tipping the load?
@@GregHyslop-f3r tailgate drops to the ground and you tip over the tailgate. These units usually tip on a pad on into a bin so you just drive off and leave the wood behind. Hardox wear edge on the taildoor. The operator is well out of the way. If you rolled it you’d have to be doing something pretty majorly wrong. We can fit remotes to them easily enough
NZ government & bureaucrats force the trucking & transport industry to innovate. Being productive & saving time is not a factor in NZ. The trailer still has to pay based on GVM even when running unladen. Go figure. Nu Zild.
The US is so far behind in truck transport it's pathetic! We need NZ and/or Australian packages, proven safe, but the anti-truckers in Congress will never budge...look how long it took to just get 80,000 and longer doubles in all 48 states.
Too much can go wrong with this. Gonna put a lot if extra work onto the driver. Bad design, dangerous even. A company thus long in the business should do better.
@@michaelmalone9323 Please elaborate ? We’ve been building these for a number of years without any issues. The system makes it very easy for the driver to load the trailer - way safer than a standard log truck and trailer
@@deanpurves9016 there's no rear under run protection for a light vehicle. That's the danger that I see. And how much clearance is there between the walks of the truck bin and the walls of the trailer bin once its up inside that like that? These things get banged around a fair bit by wood and machines. Once they get a few knocks a bit bent out of shape how easy is this thing going to go together and come apart? I can see a lot of mucking around for the driver once the shine comes off this unit and its on tbe daily grind. I hope I didn't offend you with my original comment. I had explained myself much better in my first comment but that got deleted for some reason.
@@michaelmalone9323 The set up is not really any different than a standard logger piggy backing as far as under run protection goes. Yes, bin wood units do get a hard time and these units are built to handle it. Bins are all Hardox with heavy duty rear posts and coaming rails. There is about 100mm clearance each side with the trailer in. Once the trailer starts into the truck bin the trailer tires align the trailer in the bin and there are guides at the front of the bin. The trailer goes in easy with the way the winch is attached to the dolly. We’ve built a number of these unit’s now and the first ones are probably 8 years old and still going well.

@@peternewman958 designed by our brilliant Engineering Manager Jeff Miller along with customer input from Gordon Dahm
Wow that’s amazing never seen anything like that before
The bin unit very quality excellent.
Now that’s very clever.
Clever bit of engineering

Very cool
So it looks like it has to be pretty much perfectly straight to be pulled in without gouging the sides of the trailer ?
@@herrkiwi3110 reasonably straight but they are pretty forgiving. The winch straightens the trailer up as it pulls it in
How come other countries are advanced in the trucking industry, but we in America are so behind? Too many regulations?
Not enough...
Does it just chain in like a logging trailer?
@@spikeamer the winch is still secured to the trailer and locks the trailer up to the headboard. Load security chains are then fitted at the rear
Too much rear over hang not legal in Australia
@@trevorjohnston9504 it’s not in Australia so not really a problem eh?
Why?
@@Andrewgraham-z3i save on road user charges when running empty back into the bush and for traction in the bush too.

@@blucky5082 and the reason you pay RUC’s at GVM is to encourage productivity and thinking smarter

If it Performs as Bad as it looks, good luck Getting a Roadworthy Engineering Certification.
