Clean build of the RoG Euro low loader. It really screams for a DAF or Scania in front.

Thanks guys! Here are some picks of it behind my Kenworth. No! This is not the truck I will be using. I just wanted a general idea of what it would look like behind a truck. The Cat excavator will not be used on this trailer either. I will be building a lowboy for the Cat and Kenworth.   This is the longest model I have so far. The AMT trailers that I have built are shorter. |

Looks nice, but it really is a European trailer design. the axles are just too far forward for use in the US, plus that massive tail swing would take out more cars & pick ups.

I know. And look how low the spare tires are under it. Those would come off within one day of driving around Dallas.  I could make my KW a right hand drive.  They have those in Europe. I am not going to do that though.  |

I am not going to do that though. OK, BUT Europe is left hand drive like us. Right hand drive would be Japan, UK, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, the Bahama islands, all of Africa. About 166 countries are right hand drive today, while only 74 are left hand drive. In terms of the DOT, it just won't scale out in the US nor does it comply with any states bridge formula. Ap40 |

Cool. I did not know that.  Don't worry. I am building the correct truck for this trailer. |

Nice ramps, well done & detailed.
What is the color? Looks a lot like Ford Grabber blue.
