    The Ford is a KA, as others have already said.
    The small VW near the end is an UP!, and the truck is a Volvo FH16-750, so it's using a 16,1 liter inline6 (no V8, only Scania does these nowadays) with 750 hp and 3550 Nm (over 2600 ft lbs) of torque. Quite a monster, even the strongest (regular) Scania V8 have (a little) less power than the FH16-750.
    But the cabin of the truck isn't as big as it seems, they have a tower with tanks (because there's no room between the axles) and some other equipment behind the cabin. Cabin without the heavy-hauler-tower should be a regular Globetrotter XL cabin. So yeah, it's quite big for a euro truck, but not comparable to the sleepers on americans semis.
    I think the axles of the trailer can be steered independently, otherwise they wouldn't be able to maneuvre it around the sharp corners.

    Your "nice street" remark is interesting, as I've heard similar things from my American friends and other youtubers. One of the important mechanisms used for safety in the Netherlands (and many other European countries) is to make the street/road environment indicative of the expected/required car speeds, something I'm told is not common in many (all?) parts of the USA. Pure residential areas, like this one, have cobbled streets deliberatly to make driving "feel fast". This type of road (in NL) is almost always a 30 zone (30 km/h) and driving faster than 30 starts to feel uncomfortable quickly. Even without signage (or GPS info) it's usually relatively easy to guess the speed limit of a road simply by it's type of surface and general environment.

    I'm a long time Heavy Haul/Oversize guy, hauling mega weight loads on as many as 14 or 15 axles with multiple pivot points. It can be a challenge at times, but a lot of planning and skill is involved. That trailer is really nice, 5 turning axles makes things a whole lot easier, but some of the spots I've had to get these heavy loads into would scare a lot of drivers.

Multiple pivid point we don't have either with heavy haul bc all the axles steer there is no need for it. I just te drive a 5axle V8 scania with a 7 axle trailer (2 in the front, 5 in the back) I had a permit for 270T with that. When loaded i did need 1 pilot car off the highways but that made it a lot easier bc the pilot is the one steering the back axles by remote. Most of these trailers have electric/hydrollic steering. On the highway and normal roads it steers automatic (under 40km/h above that it almost didn't steer) euro trucks and trailers are far ahead of the amarican ones for heavy haul (and even the normal trailers are)

My tractor has a 22,000lb capacity front axle, 22,000lb pusher and 54,000lb full locking rear axles, power is from a Special Service X15 Cummins Performance Series running to an Eaton-Fuller 18 speed transmission and a 4 speed auxiliary for off-road use. Those steerable trailers are here too, but not that many, I've only used one a few times, so the European equipment is a bit ahead of ours, the tractors, maybe not, because this Western Star is a beast. We did have some Scania V8's about 18-30 years ago, and they were great trucks, but for whatever reason Scania doesn't import them here any more. Most of our tractors here now are Automatics, but the Eaton-Fuller 18 speed is still probably the best transmission for on-off highway use, which is what I mostly do.

If you look at braking a USA truck has lower airpresure then us (we have 188psi) and its really hard to jackknife if even possible. Stopping distance is the same empty and fully loaded and at 8m/sec its pretty much faster then the US ones. Braking on a wet road in a turn is no problem here. Also we require to have more lights (amber blinkers on the trailer, back up lights, fog lights, etc) thats why we have a 13pin connection for just the lights and accessories (like batteries, work lights strobes, etc) we also require to have EBS on trucks and trailer witch makes the brakes strong enough to almost be as fast as a normal car. We also use disc brakes on everything so hot brakes aren't really a thing. Overall europe has a lot more hight difference then the USA, the usa is pretty flat compared to europe. Also the fact our roads are a lot smaller makes the need for trucks are as safe as they are. If you would import a USA truck in to europe you would have to change the brakes on them to get the specs needed. 90% are automated manuals here.

So, if a guy breaks down and the rental company brings him a replacement tractor with a manual, he can't legally drive it. The biggest difference is that the European tractors are almost all cabovers, while in the US you rarely see a cabover, all the tractors are with hoods. The other big difference is that most European trucks are speed governed, in the US some companies govern their trucks, but most do not, and mine will run a higher speed than I'd care to run, on most major highways I usually set the cruise at between 72-75mph (116-120kph), but it will run much faster.

    For some time I was quite often affected by heavy freight transport convoys caused by that press tool machine factory. I was often working late into the evening and when I was driving home at night, every now and then they were moving a press tool to or from that factory. The tools usually were broader than the vehicle and sometimes almost as broad as two lanes of a road.

    That's quite exceptional even for here. Cool video!
    That trailer was build in my former hometown at Nooteboom. They are quite leading in building deep loader and heavy load trailers.
    When I was a kid I regularly passed the factory and all the new stuff was stored outside. Also the Floor factory was at the same zone, and the build more regular trailers but they are merged with another company now and part of their former premises is converted into a restaurant themed as a tribute to Floor.
    Floor also build their own trucks for a while and they installed Detroit engines. So we were quite familiar with the sound of screaming Detroits that you could hear all over town.😂 such cool trucks. If you would like to have look into that search for FTF.

    They like to use vans as escort cars for oversized loads here. The reason: The truck driver has his sleeper cab and his bunk behind the seats for when they have to stop for rest (often oversized loads are only allowed to be transported at night or on weekends, when there is less traffic). The crew of the escort van sleeps in their van. Its interior often resembles a recreational vehicle with a bunk, cooking facility and a fridge.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did the first bit backwards specifically because it's easier to manoeuvre that way. Once the truck is clear of the side street it can steer in the opposite direction.

  • @matsv201

    I think that is one of those trailers that can disconect the stearing from the 5th wheel.
    When its in normal use the 5th whell controll the stearing on the rear wheel just so they will follow along.
    When backing up they can pull a sprint and the rear whell can stear independantly.
    I never seen a 5 axel tractor truck before.
    Look att 2:32. The trailer wheel is stearing when the truck is still. That is only possible with secondary stearing

    The little red car at the end was a VW Up!
    I've had one from new for 10 years now and it's the best car I've ever owned. I'm 6'2" and it's the first car I had that I couldn't reach the pedals in when the seat was all the way back (and I've owned plenty of far longer cars). The engine is rotated 90° so it takes up much less room at the front. The tax is just £20 a year as it's 997cc and the only thing I've ever had to pay for on the yearly MOT is new tires.

    How to drive/steer the truck has been calculated and planed in advance. At 11.13 you can see that some steel plates along the canal bank seem to be missing. They are not. They're just not required.
    All heavy lifting and transport is calculated and planed. Btw, I think 'heavy lifting and transport' is a great subject. Check 'Dockwise' and 'Mammoet' for the marine side of it..

    That small Ford is called Ford Ka. Its a bit older, I dont think they make them anymore. The yellow Mercedes van is a Mercedes Vito, they are pretty common in Germany. As vans, but also as little busses. Often also used for emergency doctors going out with ambulances, or in fire departments. I have driven some often times myself, taking people to airports. And despite being a Mercedes, its nothing fancy really. Lots of cheap plastic interior. But they drive alright, usually with diesel engines.

You can become it with a car like interior. Then it is called V class. In the form of a work van it is called Vito.

    The reason for backing out the first section is probably no more than he drove in empty to collect his load and went in forwards, in order to allow them to use that extra area with the metal sheets canal-side for turning room when coming out again. Once he was in to load, I doubht there was space to turn around.

    The reason they are backing in is because of how they will offload the crane.
    The truck will drive forwards from under it.
    Here's a quick video that shows this, along with how the crane goes from several truckloads of parts to a working crane.
    Not all cranes can "self assemble", some need another crane to help, but the overall process is generally the same.

I must admit being there on the side of the road was a bit exiting to see and hear the Mack’s roaring and the sheer size of the move. 👍

I was getting back pains in the Volvo, no such issues in the MAN, let alone DAF...

      Even volvo cars (at least the bit older once) are made to carry loads of cargo and also pull heavy loads.
