I love those pics of the EX8000 parts haulage, especially those of the bucket. The first picture with the tractor on the left is just awesome. Stephane

A question for the Ozz guys. Re Drake trailers.
How do they widen the what they call the "Swing wing" widening system? Of course I realise its done hydraulically. but is it done when the trailer is on the move? As I see it, if you tried that when the trailer was static you would get friction and flat spots on the tyres.
Thanks.

Ray... Someone alot more in the know can confirm or deny this, but I'm pretty sure the very first Swingwing Drake floats didnt have hyd widening and was designed to spread as you unlocked the pins and drove forward and to narrow it you would reverse it even with the hyd rams to provide this function these days you still spread while driving forward and narrow while reversing (with a remote control if you're lucky enough to have one!)
