The general advice to motorists if you see a road train coming
is to pull off the road a distance, if possible, and wait.
Depending on the wind direction, the cloud of dust will
prevent vision and hide small boulders and other debris
bouncing along in the truck's wake.
The truck is operated by
Charlie Chalmers to haul cattle from the
Northern Territory.
The Cummins `Signature' diesel (650hp and 2250 lb/ft torque)
was selected for its power, giving higher speeds on long runs.
The gearbox is an Eaton RTLO 22918B, 18-speed, driving into
Meritor RT-52 axles with 4.56:1 diff's with diff' locks.
Rear suspension is AD252-10 air ride by Neway.
It pulls triple road trains rated
up to 140 tonne and 53 metres overall length.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
