Interesting, there appears to be a chain stretched between the 2 tractors. Makes sure they don’t drift apart, but what stops them drifting together?

I take it that you can only do this if you’re travelling in a straight line or is there a method for cornering that’s not obvious to me.

Would say turning is normal as long as they maintaned their distances , they are both hooked on to low loaders by turntable and king pin hitches.

Not sure about that mate, the outside trailer would cut in towards the inside unit, wouldn’t it? Perhaps that was what the chain was for to make sure they kept their distance, but I would have thought a bar would have been better. And what about the separate tracks of the crane? They would have been squirming out of alignment.

I suppose that it would be technically possible to make a turn but - let’s say it’s a left hand turn - it would need the far side unit and trailer to travel at a greater speed than the nearside unit. It would actually be quite simple to work out what speeds are needed but maintaining them would be a different matter, the slightest mis-judgement could prove catastrophic. You would also need to have steering axles on the trailers. But, in theory, it is possible I guess.

Sunters Rotinoff Atlantic above was on this haul in 1963.

I love the bit about everyone ordered off the vehicle because of the danger of electrocution. Except the driver. Obviously the driver needed to be there, but nice to know that you are expendable.

I dont recall this trailer manufacturer from 1970.
