Witness the impressive performance of the popular Big Bird 11-line that TRT [FURL=https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/trailers/]truck trailer manufacturers[/FURL] have created, as it transports a mammoth 130-tonne bridge section, measuring 20 metres long x 9.5 metres wide, along Qantas Drive in Mascot, Sydney.Borger Cranes Terex Demag CC2800-1 600 tonne Crawler Crane was skillfully utilised to hoist and load the bridge module onto the trailer.
McDonald Contracting’s 11-line TRT ESS Modular platform Trailer was configured as a 4x8 Lead Trailer, 5x8 ESS module and a 2x8 ESS module.
[FURL=https://www.trt.co.nz/trailers/low-loaders/platform-trailers/electronic-steering-system/]TRT's ESS - Electronic Steering System[/FURL] is available in our Modular Platform and House Trailer range. Every axle is controlled individually via a computer system that detects any offset angle between the trailer’s gooseneck slew-ring connection and the truck's 5th wheel. This is translated into hydraulic oil movement within the steering ram of each axle leg, thus maintaining near-perfect steering geometry.
Multiple steering modes are available to any operator using one of our TRT ESS Trailers
. Normal Auto Steer (commonly used for transiting locations)
. Rear Axle Straight
. Auto Crab Mode
. Manual Crab Mode
. Site Manual Mode
