How is it done? (5)

As can be seen from this image and that in the previous view, reference image ST6643 : How is it done? (4), the length of the vehicle makes it extremely difficult to turn in confined spaces. Just after this photo was taken, the tractor unit had to be uncoupled from the trailer and repositioned facing the road so that the trailer could be finally positioned to face up the road. Just ahead of the trailer one can see the escort vehicle, which runs ahead of the load to warn other road users of the coming Abnormal Load. The whole ensemble consists of 40 wheels.
