davenewellhome Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 That just goes to show how strong the fifth wheel coupling is, There must be the best part of 30 tonnes hanging on a single pin of about 2.5 inches diameter! 8-) 8-) .

lizken Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Nearer 10tons I would think, Dave, as the tank would be empty, but still a strong pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
