HEAVY DUTY TRANSPORT VEHICLE

摘要

A heavy-load hauler for traveling on conventional roadways to move, for example, heavy construction equipment such as cranes or the like from one work site to another. The hauler includes a front tractor-drawn carriage (100), a rear carriage (200) and a load unit (300) disposed between and carried by such carriages. The front carriage (100) is supported upon a multiplicity of independent wheel and axle units (500). There is a first fifth-wheel coupling (101) at the leading end of the front carriage (100), for connecting to the fifth-wheel coupling of a tractor, (400) and a second fifth-wheel coupling spaced (303) rearwardly therefrom. The load-carrying rear carriage (200) is also supported upon a multiplicity of independent wheel and axle units (500) and there is a fifth-wheel coupling (304) intermediate the leading and trailing ends of such carriage.
