Hello from jamaica 🇯🇲 When it comes on to different varieties of different trucks no country on earth comes close to New Zealand beautiful country filled with beautiful people and trucks
I still get a little intimated a liitle in awe of these big beast when travelling on the open road, especially our windy hilly roads. 70s was a thing for us kids to do the truckie wave when approaching an oncoming truckie and being rewarded when the truckies waved back was a buzz but if the truckie blew their horn it was the icing on the cake. Great driving awesome video. Respect to the truckies out there
Mad trucks. I just came back from Coffs Harbour on the NSW North Coast. I sat on the second level of the hospital watching rigs of all sizes going past all day non-stop. Our eldest son lives there with his whanau. I used to live there in 1982. It's a 6 hour lag from Sydney where I live today on King Georges Rd Roselands. I watch trucks all day from my 3rd level balcony, as King Georges Rd is 3 lanes in both directions. Originally from Motiti Island in the BOP.

Regards from Finland! Interesting to watch this from the practically opposite place on the planet. Your truck/trailer combinations are pretty similar to ours. Here the total weight of a 9-axle combination like the one at 1:40 is allowed to be 76 tons on public roads that don't have local weight limits. A "normal" full trailer combination can be up to 28m but a so called HCT (High Capacity Transport) combinations can be up to 34.5m long. The biggest difference is that we have almost no American "big rigs" here. Volvo and Scania dominate with more than 70% of the market of big trucks. Most of the rest are Mercedes, Man, Daf, Iveco and our own Sisu.
Here the 'normal' limit is 8.2T per twin-tyred axle, and a total of 50T for the vehicle at 1:40 (it's probably what we call a 50MAX as it has 9 axles). There are also 'HPMV' (high productivity motor vehicle) permits that are allowed more on certain route - I think 53T? HPMVs are confusing. For 76T, I'm guessing axle limits are 6T for the singles, and 9T for the twins? Pretty interesting as pavement wear is the 4th power of weight, in other words 9T axles wear the pavement 45% more than 8.T axles do.
@@Erelyes Those weight limits are a paragraph jungle. I am not a commercial truck driver and I took my driving license in 1977. A lot of things have changed since then. I don't know all about the rules today. It's about the distance between the axles and if the axles have single or twin wheels. The maximum weight for a 2-axle truck is 18 tons. I guess it's 10 tons for an axle with twin tires and 8 tons for an axle with single tires. I tried to give you a link but obviously it isn't possible.
Here in N.Z the max weight limit for trucks on public roads without a permit is 44 tonnes. Trucks that display the yellow backed "H" decals have permits which allow them to exceed the max weight limit. With the right type of permit these trucks have a total max weight limit of 62 tonnes. Trucks with permits have to operate under specific routes issued by the RCA (Road Controlling Authority), which include roads and bridges that are certified to accommodate for the additional mass and/or length of these trucks (In simple terms, these trucks are required to only operate on our State Highway network). Additionally, N.Z also has what is called "off-highway trucks" which operate on private backroads. These units are only used to cart large amounts of logs between logging sites. Many of these units have 2 full trailers attached together, some even have 3 full trailers. These off-highway trucks can weigh up to as much as 120 tonnes all up. By definition these units could technically be classed as Australian Road-Trains. The 4 axel configuration is our most common setup for both rigid units & tractor units. For our trailers the number of axels range anywhere from 2-7 depending on trailer type (2-4 axels for semi trailers, 3-5 axels for full trailers, & 5-7 axels for B-Trains). The largest units we run on our highways are called "Super B-Trains" which are larger than a standard B-Train. These units have a total of 11 axels (including the tractor). Most of the units on our highways however have a total of 8-9 axels, and will typically haul around 50 tonnes. The extra tires help keep our poor quality roads in better condition for longer. Our max length limit is 23 meters, however special types of trucks, such as car transporters & Super B-Trains, are allowed to be 24.5 meters long. The "American" trucks in N.Z & Australia are specially made for our conditions (they're essentially just beefed up versions of the U.S models). American truck brands such as Kenworth, Mack, Freightliner, Western Star, are either built or re-manufactured in Australia for this part of the world. N.Z recieves all these Australian spec'd American trucks in addition to one other American brand, International/Navistar trucks, which are built right here in N.Z exclusively for us. Kenworth also happens to be one of our most popular truck brands here in N.Z, they're especially popular among our logging industry, with both on-highway & off-highway logging trucks.
My father was a grader operator in the 70s nothing got signed off until he was happy with his work. His dedication got him on the front page of our town local newspaper when he finally retired.
When do you open a café at that spot? I could sit there and enjoy a few coffees for hours! The enormous variety is impressive. From bog standard (in our view) DAF's, Scania's through cab-over US made stuff!. Oh and the Mainfreight are now also based over here in the Netherlands and have a so called LZV (longer/heavier vehicle) and looks a bit like the ones in New Zealand, only almost always DAF here. Thx for the upload.
I'm not a truckie but do like trucks. My question may be stupid but why are the twin steer so popular over the ditch? Do they handle to winding roads better? I don't see many on the B-Doubles etc here in Sydney, mostly on the Heavy Rigids.
It does handle the winding roads better with twin steer in my experience. Especially with B doubles coming in hot..😅 at corners around 70 to 90kms.. so yea that weight does get distrubuted to twin steers rather then single axle. You would also feel a bit of better maneuvering at steering wheel if you have driven both types.

I’ve driven this road a few times but could you tell me which way trucks are travelling. Left to right of screen going north or south. I guess most are heading to or from Cook Strait Ferry.Thanks
These Kiwi rigs, make 'under-loaded' Yankee '18-wheeler' semis, a bit of a joke. In the modern era, most Kiwi 'semis' (called 'artics' here in NZ), start with 3-axles and work their way to 5-axle or more (duel or super-single tyres). But 'truck & trailer' and 'B-train or Super-B', are by far the more regular combinations on NZ roads. The NZ 'Super-B', equates to the Aussie 'B-Double.' As for all those tyres, that's to do with better braking traction on NZ's windy and steep-gradient roads, which also reduces wear on NZ's bitumen road surfaces. Increased tyres, reduces tyre wear by spreading the load. The old 'A-train' of, 'prime-mover, semi-trailer and trailer', has practically disappeared from NZ roads. Commonly employed by NZ's fleet of milk-tankers, this combination has been replaced by the 'truck & trailer' configuration.
Scania, Volvo and Kenworth, MAN, Mack,DAF our highways aren't for the faint hearted 💩! Great skills to drive on our narrow horse tracks. 🧐 Show NZ Off Highway trucks if it's safe too. Keep on Trucking!🚛🚚👍💪

Kudos to the men and women driving these behemoths. They keep the wheels of commerce, agriculture and public transport turning.
Such a sharp bend and the trailer doesn't fade into the next lane? That's some good driving.
Thanks for posting this. I used to travel this hill for two years while working at the new bridge at Seddon. Met many a trucker.

What are the advantages of a dual steer axle heavy rigid plus trailer over a B double? This combination seems quite common in NZ.
Better cornering I think
@@TrucksAndTrailers1 would make sense given the amount of hilly and winding terrain they have in NZ.
