from what i can see ,it has a steerable axle,the suspension is awsom,the wheel are very cool
im stumped ,i cant get words out of my mouth

confuse whether to build it or part it out.i would like some of the parts myself

i do know that there alot of parts here for a tractor/semi

ok i start with the wheels/rims
29mm x 84mm
they come with a center cap and a outer rim very nicely done here
also 4 of the rims have 12 mm hexes and the other 2 rims are fitted for bearings.
which is cool for the use on the front axle of a semi

Awesome trailer, you are in possession of 4 of these bad boys… lucky you!!! I can't wait until I get mine.

Could you do me a favour and put the wheels/rims from the reefer on a tractor truck (euro style if you got) and take a photo of it, I think I will look killer!!!

Keep up the good work

:first:

[Pete359]

which parts?

Im thinking of the 4 frontwheels of the trailer.
Wonder if those would work as rear wheels on the truck?:first:

[Mouton]

This new trailer looks good - especially to us Europeans. Do you happen to have a semi box trailer (56302) for a size comparison? It would be interesting to see that the extra inches do for the overall impression.

Another question is if the king pin is located more to the front of the trailer? It appears like the front of the trailer is closer to the tractor truck's cab (but that might also be because of the refrigerator unit).
