Scania R164G-580 - Gert Troelsen
This is the Scania R164G-580 of Gert Troelsen from Herning (DK).
The 1st time that I photographed this truck was in 2004, as it was standing at their yard.
It is a nice 8x4 tractor unit with a Palfinger PK120000 behind the cab. It is the G-version, so it extends 8x to 19,1 meter with 4,25 ton capacity.

Here we can see just how heavy the subframe of this tractor unit is. On top of that we see the 5th wheel that is mounted on a sliding table, so it can adjust to all kinds of trailers. At the rear we see a drawbar coupling.

The truck was built in 2000 in the typical danish style, so with a lot of storage compartments all around. Remarkable is also the choice for the large Topline cab.
In 2006 I came across this truck again, now it was busy installing steel parts for the steel construction of a new building.

This crane has got a PJ154 jib mounted to it. Fitting to that time, that jib only extended 4x hydraulically. With that it reached about 27,5 meter with 1740 kg.

The jib also holds 3 manual extensions that are not in use at the moment. With that, it can reach up to about 33 meters with 650 kg.

Here we can clearly recognize the size of a PK120000, even the Topline cab doesn't look so big anymore beside this crane.

Behind the tractor hangs a 3-axled Broshuis trailer with the steel parts on it.

 
This cool truck got recently replaced by a new one. Again a Scania 8x4, but now with a PK135002.
