How Long Are You?

So you think you might be really long with that Monty behind you. How about a trailer 84' long with another trailer 28' long on top of it to tow the 84 footer. That is 112' long without the Kenworth hooked up to it. The front of the main trailer has a section on the front that folds forward over the tow trailer. I think they haul those really long wind generator blades.
This trailer articulates in two places other than the truck hitch.
If you are counting there are 36 tires for the trailer and the Kenworth had 14 tires. It will haul 200K pounds or better.
Now this is some serious hauling and Really LONG.
This rig was at a rest area on I-40 in AZ parked for the evening. I wanted so bad to take a photo of the one ton under the front for a pic to post for laughs. But the trailer was to low to back under. It would have been worth unhooking for. Another trucker helped me measure the rig.

Joe, that's a train, not a trailer!
Interesting setup. Makes me feel... 'er.... small.

That is exactly what we need!! We could have a Montana, a boat, a jetski, full sized barbecue grill, and a golf cart everywhere we go. Wonder if I could pull all that with a one-ton dually??Sorry folks, I could not help myself!!!

You could pull it but what about the PIN WEIGHT, and (drum roll), what does the post sticker say.
Cheers,
Mike

Just hope there are no dead end roads or road blocks when towing that.It would be fun to watch if there were.

Bingo, nice thought but I bet Ozz would have the most fun with all the horns that he has!
