Default Re: 15-Operator's Lowboy

It's a really nice truck/trailer/construction equipment combo. I'd be curious to know more about this trailer, and maybe see some extra photos. Kind of wondering what the rear suspension, or lack of suspension looks like, from the underside. I'm picky, but it looks like the trailer could use some bigger tires on it, and the neck could be stronger. It sort of looks strained in the photos, but the Wedico 5th wheel plate sits higher then it should too. Bigger tires would help level the trailer out some, and then the neck could be flatter. Craig, do you know any other details, like cost?

I've seen these pics before somewhere, love this setup. The trailer is really nice, looks very realistic. Even if it may need more axles for this particular load. Tractor looks cool too as a daycab. Looks like a real hard working setup.

No suspension. Bruder plastic tires and rims. Axles also.

Vinny's tires and wheels look more like Smith-Miller rubber tires to me, although I never asked him what they are.

Claus, I did not mean any disrespect. Just my opinion.
