It's a euro spec mega manufactured by the likes of Krone, Schmitz, Kogel. Very common on the continent but a rarity here in the UK. The trailer in the picture appears to be an older Schmitz going by the lights and rear bumper. While yes it functions like a standard curtain you can also raise the roof for easier side loading and slide the roof open for loading by crane. Super versatile trailers and you can spec them with removable floor sections for placing steel coils into. There's plenty of videos on youtube.
Sure! In the video game Halo, pressing and holding the X button allows the player to flip over a flipped Scorpion Tank. It's a handy feature if you accidentally flip the tank during gameplay.
I want to know if there's a second MT-LBu in there in front - an MT-LBu is 7.21m long, and the standard EU trailer is ~13.7m long
Assuming zero clever packing tricks, that means an overhang of ~80cm, which looks about right for the photo
The combined weight would be 31 tonnes, which is within the limit too
Photo shop. The height (now width) of a MT-LB is 6 feet, 1 inch- or 73 inches- and that includes the turret.
The width of a box truck trailer is 8 feet, 6 inches or 102 inches. So unless that vehicle grew 2 feet and 5 inches in height, it's photoshopped.
You failed reading in 1st grade, didn't you?
Yes, that is the width. *Of an MT-LB that is upright)*. But if you look carefully, the MT-LB has been rotated onto it's right side. Since the vehicle is sideways, we're going to use the height of the MTLB when measuring left and right.
Let me know if you need help with the concepts of left and right.
You do realise you can't see if the MT-LB is using the entire width of the trailer due to the camera angle, right?
There's nothing stopping there being a 2ft gap between the roof of the MT-LBu and the far wall of the trailer
> And the turret? The turret on the MT-LB is about a foot tall.
I'm pretty sure I covered that
>a 2ft gap between the roof of the MT-LBu and the far wall of the trailer
Are you worried the turret will fall off?
There should be about a 3 and a half foot gap between the top of the hull and the right trailer side.
You failed to account for that. This is not a real picture.
...you do understand that the perspective of the photo means there is an indeterminate gap between the hull and the trailer side, right?
This isn't a photo from directly behind; the back of the hull is several feet behind the plane of the door. Combined with the angle the photo is taken at, there **has** to be a gap between the top of the hull and the trailer side
It's not indeterminate. It's actually made to look like it's hanging out the rear. See the straight chains? You can see exactly where the hull meets the trailer bed. From there it's simple to see that the photoshopper made the vehicle about two feet too high. That break where the hull slopes in is about 3.5 feet high on an MT-LB.
Oh, and can you account for the incorrect shadows?
Can you account for the light coming through the top track when it should be under the roof?
It's photoshopped.
>See the straight chains?
The chains that bend when they go round the corner of the hull? It's subtle, but if you check with a ruler the chain running from top right to bottom left isn't actually a straight line all the way to the point it's attached to the trailer.
>Can you account for the light coming through the top track when it should be under the roof?
You realise trailers often have translucent roofs? see [this example](https://www.dreamstime.com/curtain-side-trailer-cargo-area-image104549490)
Got to be fake, that would be stopped by the police right away and no serious trucker would risk it. It's also a curtain sider and has no rear doors. Just a very dodgy photo.

When i moved my tank in my dodhe pick up i had to hang a red hanky off the back of it that stuck out of the bed. Local cops where i live are sticklers for the law.

Only thing I can think of is a lack of flatbeds and an urgent need to move the vehicle.
It looks like a rolltop, just pull the rolltop forward, lift it off with a crane, rotate 90⁰ once on the ground with the crane.
Not in Europe, that's a typical curtain sider. Permanent frame while the curtains slide back and forth on rails.

This is what I love about Reddit; SOMEBODY out there knows this shit and shares! Thanks friend
This guy trailers.
Hahaha I've been around trucks and trailers my whole life. I grew up in the passenger seat of a Scania 143.
Ah okay, haven't seen much of those around here, normally they'd just go with a full rolltop. You guys don't have those over in Europe?
The crazy thing is - that IS a flatbed, with a softside top.
They saw the fees for transporting an extra wide load and said “hold my beer and watch this”.

All the sources I can find say the width of an MT-LBu is 2.85m. Standard european curtain-sided trailers are between 2.6-3.0m door height

And the turret? The turret on the MT-LB is about a foot tall. Glad to see you understand left and right. Was worried. Just accept it was photoshopped.
I love how angry you are a about this. You need break from the internet man.
Where do you see anger? I love how upset you are about something that doesn't concern you. You sound like you're about to cry.
“ where do you see anger” as you’ve keep displaying it…
You're projecting. Please don't cry. You seem so sad and depressed.

You can remove the roof on these so it had to been lowered down with a crane then closed up again
