The weights are in pounds; divide by 2.2 for kilos.
Cheers Chris, makes more sense now

This one looks like a Liberty Truck (ex- WW I) fitted with tyres. Willème started business in improving such war surplus trucks before producing them under licence and gradually improving them until they issued the " Shark-Nose" in 1952. The picture must have been taken in Argetina, but Neyrpic is a French firm.I remember using a trailor like on pics 1 & 2. Putting back the axle into place is a terrible bob! One has to push it by hand, and then tie a winch cable to lift the trailor’s bed.
Cheers for the info Froggy And if you like to take a swing at such a trailer for old times sake, just give us a shout eh 
Looks like a O&K RH 400. which was at the time the biggest shovel… I might be wrong as usual but I reckon the operational weight was somewhere between 800 and 850t…
Alright Dean, fasten your seatbelt mate… 
That drawbar low loader behind Hull’s wagon, is that a Scheuerle…?

Thanks Patrick Johnny DeanB those are impressive pieces of equipment but tell me the ground clearance on the floats its virtually zero is there some kind sensor system that tells the operators when to lift it for say a speed bump or such ,we wouldn’t get over a cattle grid here lol.
Good to see that mexican bloke Manwell Labour is still around.
I likes your ladies style Patrick she certainly had a firm grip on things. lol.Tell me Jeff the fish from Karratha did you load straight off a boat i recall there was a South Aus company that had its own trawlers mother boat and freezer road trains all Macks that came into Port Headland and off landed into several road trains.They took a bit of a risk sending you up there without a bullbar on the truck.
Cheers Dig
Sorry DIG, don’t know about any sensors.

Well, it seems you haven’t done your homework then Johnny… and you haven’t answered the pubquiz question…
It’s a fairly simple system DIG, there’s a powerpack on board all the modules to provide power to the hydraulic suspension system and provides the traction as well. The SPMT’s pictured are the old ones from the first series, the newer ones are all remote control operated, so much easier to operate and more view clearance.
I thought I’d leave it for you Patrick, since my knowledge is a tad limited…

The maximum gross weight for divisible loads on the US Interstate System is 36,290 kgs which can be carried on five axles. However some states have Grandfather Rights to run at higher gross weights. Since 1994, the extra weight has been controlled by the Bridge Formula Table which takes into account the number of axles and their spacing. It is supposed to stop damage to roads and bridges. Michigan and South Dakota have the most extreme examples of multi-axle trailers but several more states allow one or two extras.
Nice pics Chris ,thanks for popping them on.

Just been reading a bit more about the Bindoon pics (previous page) and wide loads allowed on the highway saturdays only, DIG and Jelliot may have something to add, anyway these from the Telfer goldmine.
OilyBit odd to see a Renault Magnum working at the other side of the world…
Branded a Mack Magnum over here Patrick,they wobble a fair bit on the cab suspension is that the same your way?

Some pictures from my first trip of 2018. It was good to get out of the freezer and down to the warmth of Texas for a few days.
Top pics as alway boys! The blue 5axl Scania in Oilys last post is a really good friend of mine Ronnie. He subbed for us last week and blew his gearbox with only 1030000km on it… good job keep it going that long!
My pics are from a trip we did together 3years ago up north. -30 when we loaded then i dropped to -15 and we had a bad snowstorm for a whole day but made it.
Im sure i posted some of this pics before but here goes agin

Nice pics Danne ! Sounds like an expensive repair bill !
You have to make sure the 2 drivers work together in the first 2 pics. I wonder how many times loads like this
went wrong.
Nice looking Mack.
Couple from your part of the world Dig.
