I can’t see how this hazardous load will take the slightest bend or first pothole without turning upside down!

Cheers Dean!
I don’t think any of those beasts were ever imported to Europe? Pity, would have been quite something to behold!

Really interesting looking trailer Chris, cheers for posting.
The only manufacturer that has a similar design is Broshuis, seems King was far ahead of their times with that trailer.

Feeling the road a true statement not that I have done anything like those Timber Haulers but some of the loads we carried in the Rig moving industry had a similar effect I preferred to keep both hands on the steering and gripped the seat in another way 
We had 2 Pacific bed trucks here which belonged to an oil company call OD&E both powered with 8V71 Detroits one of the operators told me he preferred the 2 strokes as the throttle response was a little quicker than the long 4 stroke engines when he was winching, I have a couple of photos but they only show a piece of the trucks. When you see for the first time a 40plus ton lump being winched up onto the truck body the front wheels of the Pacific a few feet off the ground until the load is far enough on the truck to allow it to touch down again its quite mind boggling .

I spot a Manchester Liners container tucked away on the left,shifted lots of their half height boxes around the country,mainly to Scotland,many had copper ingots.

Did Scheuerle knew about this Chris? As they normally state only couplings made by Scheuerle fit on their modular trailers…?

I had a planner that always said “I can let them go again…” when we had to do something that wasn’t necessarily legal and we got there in the end without interference of the law…
I’ve seen that “going airborne” here too DIG, it’s mostly the ones swapping bodies filled with scrap, no need for hydraulic legs at the rear apparently… I can only imagine the stress that causes such actions on the chassis… maybe Punchy Dan knows more about it?

As far as I know Patrick it was built under contract with Scheurele
