Hi all, Just wondering if any one know's if Fruehauf made a trailer with seperate sliding axles and hydraulic suspension like the Freighter set up, as i think i spotted one in a paddock recently? Thanks in advance, Debo.

Yes in Qld, Fruehauf was a very popular manufacturer of trailers with hydraulic equalisation/adjustable axle groups.

This has been a serious education for me. I know little about trucks in the great scheme of things but even less about trailers.

Jeffo, I am hopelessly in love with your LAD Leyland. Is she still around or long gone? Ergo's not bad either.

Now the Kiwis went a step further, a spread trailer that automatically tracked behind the prime mover in turns. No linkages or hydraulics, just clever steering geometry.
