RFW Trucks

RFW (Robert F Whitehead) is an Australian specialist manufacturer of all wheel drive trucks.

This eight wheel drive 8×8 RFW truck chassis is towing what became a six wheel drive 6×6 trailer when a second engine and transmission were added to make a 14×14. The trailer unit is computer controlled to keep in-synch with the prime mover. The glamorous unit has a most unglamorous job, having been fitted with specialist equipment for cleaning Queensland sewers! — L.A.
