Model "Trailer Tr10" is build with LEGO® in scale 1:17,5 and motorized using LEGO® Power Functions. It is not build after a specific brand or type of trailer. This build represents the well known typical US style spread or split axle flatbed trailer.
The trailer features: solid axle suspension on all axles, three sets of lights, kingpin, toolboxes, remotely controlled landing gear and parking break, remotely controlled liftable rear axle and many details.
This newly design and engineered trailer utilizes the same suspension as US Truck T1 MkII it uses LEGO® rubber belts and LEGO® rubber axle connectors.
Also can you build it yourself. To do so you can buy the Building Instructions.
You will be very excited from the moment you start the build of Truck T10 till you finish it with a total number of parts of about 1050 pieces.
The axle setup of a spread axle trailer is not just randomly picked. It really has a purpose and it all is related to weight. Commonly this axle configuration is mostly found on flatbeds, car haulers and refrigerated trailers and typical for the US.

The
more tires means more rubber equals more friction. To reduce the
drawback of it when it comes to playability the most rear axle is
liftable.
It has an all aluminum floor installed with two nailer strips. So it is outlined with the decks frame which also holds the "winches" and retroreflective strips. From the outline in two rows of Plates, two lines of Tan colored nailers are followed by Black Tiles to represent the trailers main beams. In the middle there is this last strip of Plates as aluminum floor.
