Here's a picture to show everything included with the model
The lowboy is equipped with two large hooks that when the gooseneck is
lowered they attach to and then once gooseneck is raised so is the lowboy deck
The dollies can be arranged in many different variations, this is done just
by connecting them to one another by inserting a plastic lock pin
Two connected dollies
When the diamond plated deck is removed you can see how the dollies
wheels are all connected and turn in sequence with one another...
...like this
Each wheel not only turns but also has its own suspension, they all have
just one connection point right in front of the tire which allows it to raise
up and down whenever needed to keep the load level
Two rods are also supplied for each axle dolly connection point to make
all the axles steer in sequence with one another

bridge the steering connections of both dollies
