Good stuff Patrick there is certainly a wide variety of trucks and trailers for the low loader type operations your side of the planet.

My old KW was indeed a W900 series a W924 model ,it was built as an ON/Off highway unit double skinned chassis rails 9ton steer axle 56000ilb Eaton 2 speed diffs giving it a 128 ton aussie rating but i was only allowed to gross 118 tons.
