Trailer crab steering demonstration

VSE demonstrates rear steering and crab steering in an articulated tractor-trailer combination thanks to electro-hydraulic steering mechanisms on both axles of an animal transport semi-trailer.

The trailer is pulled by a Volvo 4x2 tractor owned by Dutch haulier Teus Kuiper. The video was filmed at animal transport bodybuilder J. Schaap en Zn of Tijnje, Netherlands.

The technology, VSE's Electronic Trailer Steering system (which is also Dutch), is covered in the feature 'Running gear: Backseat driver' in the February 2019 edition: click here
