Took this shot of a Cat 793C heading out west in March 2000. Taken at a truckstop at Dalby, couple of hours out of Brisbane in Queensland.

Time for a math lesson Holger!
8 axles make 16 wheels. And they are probably duals making 32 wheels!


Sorry, I couldn´t resist some teasing! :mrgreen:

Sorry Guys

RE:Time for a math lesson

8 rows of 8 tyres = 64 tyres
Definitions
a tyre is a tyre
a wheel can b single or duel tyres (2) supported on the one set of wheel bearings n brakes (also seen 3 tyres on one wheel)
axle can b a beam to transfere weight from frame to wheels also oscillate pivot to evenly transfere weight etc
across a trailer U can also have 2 stub axles with a wheel each end of stub axle with 2 tyres @ each wheel = 8 tyres as the above pix
