"KUBLER" Mercedes tractor w/ Nooteboom heavy haul trailer

Manufacturer: CONRAD

Scale: 1:50

This is the Mercedes Actros w/ Nooteboom multi-axle heavy hual lowboy

trailer in "KUBLER" livery from CONRAD.

The model comes in a nice box for storing

The Mercedes Actros tractor

Tractor has a full air compressor and tool box set up behind the cab

Cab tilts forward to reveal engine below

Here's a picture to show everything included with the model

The lowboy is equipped with two large hooks that when the gooseneck is

lowered they attach to and then once gooseneck is raised so is the lowboy deck

The dollies can be arranged in many different variations, this is done just

by connecting them to one another by inserting a plastic lock pin

Two connected dollies

When the diamond plated deck is removed you can see how the dollies

wheels are all connected and turn in sequence with one another...

...like this

Each wheel not only turns but also has its own suspension, they all have

just one connection point right in front of the tire which allows it to raise

up and down whenever needed to keep the load level

Two rods are also supplied for each axle dolly connection point to make

all the axles steer in sequence with one another

Pic of a connection point to show additional steering rods in place to

bridge the steering connections of both dollies

connected to one another by just using a plastic lock pin

piece is included

dollies depending on which one is used at the rear
