Unusual configeration

I see some unusual trailers the other day near amberly air base.They were signed for Toll and made by drake trailers.
unusual wheel setup with steering.
Beaut setup, don't know whether the rack on top is part off the setup?

The prime mover's from Membreys so maybe some one out there can help with the story?

Albion, NQ Heavy Haulage have got one too.
I think they extend out a couple of times and obviously steer at the rear.

Here's a link to Drake Trailers, they are called a Telescopic Extendable trailer, goes out an extra 3 stages, been around for years, just don't see them that often fully extended.

Hazell Bros here in Tassie have a version of those trailers ....... hell they extend a fair way out

Not sure ifn the escort vehicle B legal with th@ sign more like an advertisement
B like run n round MT with all u're red flags n signs on display wen not needed ...U get bookd here in vic display n signs wen not needed

here wen overall length exceeds 100 feet 30 meters rear steer is required twaz caster steering required on all axles way back when
then a extendable appeared from Europe withe billy cart steering n looks like they allow th@ now
truble is when on max steer angle the overall width footprint across axles is less then trailer width with a unstable situation depend n terrain
