    After the Hot Rolled Inc. steel factory in WCUSA, it was only a natural to have a Steel Roll prop! I wonder how much it's gonna weigh! I also hope it's its own part in the "Vehicles" menu (which should be called "Vehicles & Props" menu), because I have some plans involving the staircase streets of Belasco City! Hehe! :p:cool:;)

    If it's not a standalone prop, I'm sure someone will mod it to be.

    An average steel coils can reach 20 tons (30 for some), a common flatbed can't handle more than one coils. Braking too hard can break coils's chains and crush truck's cabin like a car rolls on an egg

    In fact, steel coils are some of the most dangerous loads a truck can haul. Most people wonder why they cannot be laid on their side, but that is because the coils could unravel so quickly they explode.
    I learned this from a YouTube short, proof that they aren't all bad (most of them are though)

    From what I have seen:
    1. Rollin', rollin', rollin' - It is a reference to a Limp Bizkit song.
    2. We are finally getting ropeables, a new trailer, and loads for the T-Series. Basically T-Series remaster, part II.
    Is there anything secret/hidden that I have missed or not seen?

    I expect nothing less of nissan murano than to be completely out of the loop at all times. Business as usual

    Absolutely cannot wait to simulate the steel coil flying into the back of the cab and obliterating the driver :)

    Yeah, a very smooth driving and a lot of skill is required for that this kind of freight. If coil fall out, nothing can stop it.
    Unstoppable rolling coil, soon on beamNG

    This is partially correct. There are various common configurations irl of the amount of coils and their weights transported on a flatbed trailer, based on safety regulations. But 30 ton coils are usually too heavy and could make the trailer snap in half. Rougly 20 tons is the most you can safely transport, but it's not the 'average' weight, there can be lighter coils that allow for transporting many of them per trailer. Heavier ones are often transported by dedicated coil handlers and don't travel long distances. But yeah the point is that they are very heavy and even though you can physically fit a lot of them, it's not a good idea.
    You might ask 'why do you need such a long trailer then?', the answer is that flatbed trailers are not fully flat, they are bent upwards and 'preloaded' sort of like leaf springs, which allows them to handle higher weight close to the center point. And also you need pretty long chains to prevent the coils from snapping off and crushing the truck, like it sometimes happens due to them not being correctly secured.

    Imagine a hotkey to brake the chains or the parts of the trailer where the chains are connected. So when you need to brake for traffic, unfortunately the metal rolls come loose ;)

    Sooo, i have recreated the picture, it was at the back of the factory exit. The shadow on the ground was from the little house at the exit. The picture was taken about 16:30 ingame.

    New features are: of course, the new load and the beacon on the roof of the T-Series. I think the antenna is also new.

    This is now irrefutable evidence of its location, so I have deleted or changed my previous posts where I thought it was at.

    Anyway, good sleuthing!
