Thread: I wonder how much longer semi trailers will get

What area of WA are they in - Kimberley's ???


That's a side tipper , looks to clean to be mining , maybe grain in the wheat belt.

I think it’s just rolled off the production floor.......

Western Australian company Jamieson Transport has taken delivery of a Quin road train combination from Bailey’s Body Builders.
The Quin has a Gross Combination Mass (GCM) of 200 tonnes and a payload capacity of 139 tonnes and has PBS approval to run 720km round trips between Port Hedland and authorised mines in Western Australia, hauling iron ore, manganese and copper concentrate.
“This is our third Quin to join the Jamieson fleet,” Jamieson Transport Workshop Manager, Willie Brennssell.
“With one lead A-trailer and two connected B-doubles, we need suspension systems that will last the trailers’ lifetime and meet PBS requirements."
Full story in Trailer Magazine.

Ok so it is the mines in the pilbara area. Double B-Doubles are common up here , have driven a couple , but the extra A Trailer adds a new dimension.

The couple of side tippers I have driven are 40 foot B trailers not the 45 foot trailers like the fridge vans, Still a long way to the back .

Wont stay clean like that for long..

That's going to take awhile to overtake in a Series!

Are those trailers self- tracking? Are common road trains self-tracking?
