Wot’s the point of Double Decker trailers that don’t go under most railway bridges
…like this one in Guildford… 
bowers340:
48ft trailers are pretty standard in Australia, no harder to drive than a 45FT.
Is that the Volvo FH with 90t Pulling capacity which apparently can’t happen …
Even though Qube use a P cab scania to pull two 40ft in NSW lol.
Answer to the question.
To carry goods as is what most trailers are used for regardless of length.
I don’t know why we moved up from 28’ two axle Four in Line Trailers, more than adequate. Then some clever bugger decided to add 5 feet to 33’ and used twice as many wheels and tyres.
Someone decided they could carry 2 x 20’ boxes if they tagged a bit on the front and a bit on the back, so now we have 40’ trailers.
Like the farmers & tipper operators with greedy boards, general hauliers wanted more. From loose sacks to 16 pallets to 24, those pesky foreigners built pallets which would fit 3 abreast and hold 33/66 on a standard trailer, 66 pallets, it would make more sense if they could get another 6 pallets on.
Let’s run a 14.6 trailer to carry 72 euros to make more euros.
