48' trailers

Have I missed something, made wrong assumptions? Are there many bonneted sleeper trucks with a WB under 5m getting around? How much extra does a bullbar normally ad on the front? I know turntable centre to bogie centre is set up desired axel loadings, but 200mm is ball park is it not? 13358 gives a front overhang of 1242mm...

Western Star4800 & 5800 will fit..Kenworth build a recessed back sleeper just for that purpose. Iveco Powerstar will fit.As will a Sterling or Frieghtliner Century Class..
From Memory anything that can tow a 34 pallet B Double can fit a 48' trailer..

glad to hear this, so I haven't missed anything with numbers? What are those KW recessed back sleepers called? So is your 34 pallet = 48' single rule for 25m B doubles?hayseed wrote: there's quite a few 48' compatable Bonneted trucks with a sleeper about.

atkipete - your reply sort of contradicts hayseed, was it a really long wheel base or very long nose (don't think so). Or did the trailer have the kingpin right at the end maybe?

Might pay to remeasure that....
www.nhvr.gov.au/road-access/mass-dimensi...and-dimension-limits
Trailers - On a semi-trailer or dog trailer the distance from the front articulation point to the rear over hang line must not be more than 9.5 metres and the distance from the front articulation point to the rear of the trailer must not be more than 12.3 metres. The maximum forward projection of a semi-trailer, or anything attached to a semi-trailer must not protrude beyond a 1.9-metre arc from the towing pivot pin (King pin). The articulation point to the rear of a semitrailer may be up to 13.2 metres if the trailer has a distance of not more than 9.5 metres from the front articulation point to the rear overhang line, does not operate in a B-double or road train combination and otherwise complies dimensionally.
