I’ve got a question though, everyone’s commenting about my wacky axle set-up on the trailer, but this one is a oddball as well…
What make is it? And is it fully steered?
Cheers, Patrick
Thanks mate!
Well its a VANG. We have 4 of them now and they are great! And my new one is being built as right now. Axl 3 and 4 stear and 1 one just “follow” and locks when reverse. And 1 and 2 Also lifts. It also have 4m trombon and hudralic adjusters. And the axl set-up is just to get max weight on them. I drove it a couple of weeks ago and what lovely kit that is!
Nice one oily! And yes! We work closly to WMT. But thats an old pic thou that trailer is now behind a new Scania 730 driven by Svante. But at the time that pic was taken it was Micke that had it. He has now got a Volvo 750 with a faymonville 2+5 trailer. Its a good company to work with!

Cheers for the info mate!
Interesting piece of kit that is, quite the great unknown in my neck of the woods… What the weight of the combination when empty? About 25ish tons…?
Hi Patric! Well its only 22.5 so pretty light one. And then the unit have dubbledrive,Volvos new one with the one that lifts the tag. I think VANG would suit your kinda work great! And they build pretty mutch how you whant and thats not always the case with the big companys.
Just looked at reg paper on it and only 12.6t empty,and thats with the hydralic ramps and hydralic adjusters so with you pretty light unit it would be great
I wonder what the weight with out the hydralics is?

Well, that certainly doesn’t weigh all that much now does it Wonder about the strength though…Does it extend as well?
Stumbled upon this pic, is it still out and about?

Hi mate! Yes it extend but only 3m but my friend hasone that do 6m. And for the strenght i dont see any problems,just look at our others and they work great.
And for the GA Schakt 143 they are no more. But one of owners runs westdijks swedish Office down in gothenburg. We do some work with them from time to time. But looking at thu machine he just loaded it looks like one i move now! Hmm i will see if i can find a pic of it.
