The front part of the trailer ( the neck) is attached to the truck and that is attached via a hook arrangement to the main front part of the trailer which is uncoupled and then lowered to the floor , when loading they drive the machine on then pick it all up again. i think it has its own engine /compressor to power the lift and lower side of the operation ( sorry for long winded answer). If you look in the wheel loader section of the forum you will see more pics, also i am no lorry driver :think:

As jim said above the trailer comes apart just behind the neck but in this case just behind the set of wheels called a interdolly at front of the trailer !

Yea Luke that's the one, it hasn't been replaced the 775's have gone and now the 990. At the face is a Volvo EC700c and 2 Bell B40D's running to the primary crusher.
