They just mount ramps on the top, and when they want to unload them, they just extend some ramps to the trailers. Some other examples here: http://www.trucker.com/TruckDetail.aspx?TruckID=410293&CompanyID=32184 Link to "www.hankstruckpictures.com" http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/macneil/fleet_car_carrier_frtlnr.jpg http://www.kinneytowing.com/images/Car%20Carrier3.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-03-05 19:24:30
Weasel1984 2008-03-05 19:50	You are rigt Ddey65, now I see that it must be a tractor, but still strange, as in Europe such way of cars transport is unknown.
Ddey65 2008-03-05 22:19	I thought in Europe they not only hauled cars the same way, but even stacked them three levels high, with two ramps over the tractors. We don't even do that in the US & Canada. Here's something else you may not know; A lot of moving van companies also perform double-duty as car carriers. They simply add the cab-mounted racks for cars as you see above, and tow their usual moving trailers. So if you want to move all your stuff cross-country and your car with it, they can just put the car over the truck. -- Last edit: 2008-03-08 13:24:53
antp 2008-03-05 23:23	Those with 3 levels are quite rare I think, usually they rather look like this: http://www.transport-auto.fr/Images/ImgSite/29-size.jpg Few trucks like those that I often see: (as I work near that VW/Audi factory)
Weasel1984 2008-03-06 17:21	By "unknown" I of course meant such tractors with ramps, in Europe there are usually special trucks with trailers like on the pic above. Ddey65 wrote ...

Indeed I think I've never seen something like that, even in American movie. -- Last edit: 2008-03-06 17:23:56
