The next is a modern Scania, with a jeepdolly and a fully steerable 5 axle lowloader with detachable front neck, to be able to load heavy machinery by just driving them on the deck.

Attaching the neck again. The rideheight can be altered by the neck and with hydraulic suspension at the back. This way the deck is on the ground and won't drive away while loading.

And here the combination is driving off. The steering of the trailer works with a rotatable kingpin with servocontroller. The sharper you steer, the more the trailer steers.

Here the same tracktor with a semi lowloader. This also has the steeringsystem, but it has 8 axles. The trailer is completely build from brass.

The last from this Scania. The trailer is also extendable, it becomes almost twice the length of the deck when extended.

Here a Bruder tracktor that is converted to RC. In the back you see a FTF truck, a Dutch company that use to build special trucks. You see it with a working Hulo stonetrailer crane, that can load and onload the stone packages.

In the back again the Volvo F88, here with the Nooteboom trailer, the backaxles swing 90 degrees open when backing up the truck, so you can drive an machine on the trailer.
