With this, even heavy loads can handle the bends
Due to their length and the large number of axles, high-volume and high-load transporters in particular need a much larger cornering radius than conventional semitrailer units. A steering system which acts individually on all wheels - positive steering - is used to enable them all to cope with normal roads. Indeed, positive steering systems are a legal requirement in certain vehicle configurations.
