thankGod its not in Nigeria
Nigerians are the craziest people i know, they would have mixed feelings about it

Some would want to steal its tires
Some drivers would be dragging road with it
Some would want to overtake it
Other people would want to take a pic with it caption it "my dad's company trailer or about to be crushed by a giant trailer"
Some would run immediately they sight it
Some would want ot to crash so they can salvage anything they find
Some area boys would want to tax the drivers
And the drivers would have been reckless with it and even manage to maneuver this thing through potholes
Nigerian police would be expecting big roger from it
And the crazy drivers would want to crush them to avoid paying roger

ademasta:

Yes... We rock abroad but flop ahome

COOLDK:


Pals, this is a prototype design. It will be used for the main structure

shadowman408:
Another thing to note on the pic to prove that this Iis fake, the designer didnt pay attention to detail. The tank is sitting on supports attached to a platform. Conparing the two pics, you will notice that when the tanker is on a straight line, the stands are more in number but when it bends, they are only two. Are the stands automatic?

Na the police own go worst pass.
Driver like me will like to do the overtaking stuff

ademasta:

The image with 1 head is the final product.
While the one with 2 heads is a prototype to be produced soon. Check the write up very well sir.

COOLDK:


No sir! It's a prototype to be produced soon

celestialAgent:
This is a realistic 3D work miss.

Until you see such fully operating outside technical animation don't believe it.




A nigeria engineer? And to tell you what real engineers are more concerned about technical success than women.

Enybliss:
hahahhahaaahhaha james bond is a role model to alot of Nigerian drivers

ademasta:

Yes sir.

Traditionally, you might have seen that (multiple trailers) four or five trailers are used to transport heavy cargo. Two or four trucks are used at front to steer the movement and two or four trucks are used at back for support to the cargo/ heavy equipment. The trucks are mechanical connected with limited maneuverability.

The new TPA-system has been initiated by Mammoet and developed in cooperation with SCHEUERLE, the leading manufacturer of heavy transport vehicles. TPA is based on the SCHEUERLE K25 trailer, which is fitted with a Power Pack Unit (PPU) that hydraulically powers 4 of the 6 axle lines. The PPU is mounted at one or either end of the trailer, depending on the configuration – or can be placed on the prime mover to replace the counterweight for traction. Each PPU is powered by a MTU V12 diesel engine, compliant with all emission requirements, that generates 1,000 horsepower and a traction power of over 40 tons. The TPA system is specified for all weather extremes.

One TPA is equivalent to two trucks.

Didn't anyone notice that this picture is a work of software? For a trailer to move a tank that large, first thing to consider what material is the tank made of, if the material is the usual steel then how much is the weight when empty and when filled. Next thing how powerful should the engine of the trailer be to carry such a weigth. The question continues. Anyway, forget about the logic and focus on the fact that this pic is a product of software design.

Vidamia:
no matter how long trailer is, it will only have 2tires in the front

COOLDK:


E.bliss, you won't just understand. My problem is seeing a free road and doing sme.sme driving thing. Na only God go save my soul (80-120km/hr) is my range of speed on a normal day

Enybliss:
Kikikiki its not need for speed or fast and furious its reality and Nigerian roads are nothing to be proud of

World’s Largest Giant Trailer

Only Mechanical Engineers dare to make and lift heavy weights using World’s Largest Giant Trailer. Untiring efforts of engineers at Mammoet have made it possible to convert this dream of a giant trailer into reality.

Mammoet is world’s largest service provider with specialization in lifting and transporting heavy weights. Basically the idea is to develop a heavy transport solution called Trailer Power Assist (TPA). These trailers will be powered hydraulically thus lifting large and heavy equipment will not require combining several trucks.

Traditionally, you might have seen that (multiple trailers) four or five trailers are used to transport heavy cargo. Two or four trucks are used at front to steer the movement and two or four trucks are used at back for support to the cargo/ heavy equipment. The trucks are mechanical connected with limited maneuverability.

The new TPA-system has been initiated by Mammoet and developed in cooperation with SCHEUERLE, the leading manufacturer of heavy transport vehicles. TPA is based on the SCHEUERLE K25 trailer, which is fitted with a Power Pack Unit (PPU) that hydraulically powers 4 of the 6 axle lines. The PPU is mounted at one or either end of the trailer, depending on the configuration – or can be placed on the prime mover to replace the counterweight for traction. Each PPU is powered by a MTU V12 diesel engine, compliant with all emission requirements, that generates 1,000 horsepower and a traction power of over 40 tons. The TPA system is specified for all weather extremes.

One TPA is equivalent to two trucks. Using this technology, only one truck will be required at the front to pull and steer the equipment. This means that only one experienced driver/ operator will be incharge here thus it will reduce any damages caused by communication gaps between several drivers of other trucks combined to move same cargo.


TPA does not only provide more lifting capacity, but it also enhances speed of the vehicle. SCHEUERLE (Truck Manufacturing Company) is currently building two prototypes of TPA in a joint venture (JV) with Mammoet. In 2016, these two prototypes will be field-tested by Mammoet.

That patience is not just there especially if you a Lagos driver.

Enybliss:
you could die because of impatience

COOLDK:


Hmmmmm. We all gonna die one day!
So no one should fear death, it's unavoidable.

Guess u might wanna cruise together one day, maybe u can caution my speed

Enybliss:
not being scared of death is different from dying before your time
