Pulling weights is the load + trailer. It can pull a load more ,trust me on this.
The trailer is plated to 26 tons the load is 1.1.tons times 24,well within spec.
This is a Kalmar Tug built in America autobox, 4 gears. and you can lift the 5 wheel with a lever in the cad.
Also it has a dump valve for the air, making it easy to work with the airlines (on and off) It latches up automatically and a knob in the cab unlatches the trailer. Not built for road going as its states in the cad. For shunting or harbour work.
There is no suspension on the rear axle but have another knob to lower the rear end 4 inch, if required.
I have been told the 5th wheel can lift 60 tons. When I look at the 2 rams under it and they're are about 10inch in dia I believe this is possible. It also has a sterio/cd player.
Entrance to the catwalk is by a sliding door on the rear of the cab and a closer picture of him.
