Its going faster than M25 rush hour traffic lol!

 Nice find Debs and not far off the mark with the tonnage, 288 wheels in toal for both trailers. I did some work with Cadzow Heavy Haulage up here years ago and loved it for the sheer size of loads  that were moved. One load was a 200 ton crane and if you went over 25 mph you could guarantee a blow out on one of the trailer wheels. We waited all day for a police escort and just as we set off we got a blow out. Tyre fitter stuck his head in under the trailer to see which one had gone and at just that moment another tyre blew, fitter came out from under trailer looking rather startled lol and covered in dust lol, one of the bike cops nearly fell off his bike he was laughing so hard lol

 576 wheels 4 tracktor units and the weight of the trailer  would put the total weight to around 1100 tonnes 576 wheels on the trailer means either 144 axles or 72 axles depending on the wheel bogie layout

each single wheel would need to be able to carry 2.5 tonnes to allow forsafe working load.

whats more of a mind baker is what power output do the tractor units put out 2500 lbs/foot of torque? each
