What we don’t see today on the internet is that it doesn’t exist. We are used to seeing the way in which trucks in some Asian countries are loaded to the brim with goods, transporting all types of materials and sometimes pushing their structural resistance to the limit.
But in addition to loading trucks, vans or cars, it is also common to see how motorcycles are used for transportation. And no, we’re not talking about putting a trunk on it and carrying the groceries inside, that’s not what it’s about. It’s about starting to stack as much as you can on the seat, with the load sticking out from all sides.
Well, these types of decisions are child’s play compared to the video we have come across. It is not that the motorcycle is used to load, it is that the motorcycle replaces a truck to pull a trailer loaded to the brim with bottles.
Having a truck is overrated
Yes, instead of having the tractor head of a truck, these people decided that it was a good idea for a motorcycle to be in charge of carrying the load. The truth is that we do not have the measurements of the load and that is why we have to speculate, but we are talking about about four meters high of the load by about three meters wide, and that is being generous and going downwards.
To this we must add the length, which can perfectly be around 10 meters, and a simple motorcycle pulls all of this. It is true that the drums are empty, but even when empty there are so many that in the end it is a lot of weight. To give you an idea, each blue bottle weighs around 2.5 kg and each bottle, which looks like a 20 liter one, is around 900 grams. So seeing the number of bottles and drums there are, the weight is considerable.

To top it off, the trailer itself will weigh its own weight and on top of that it seems that the wheels either do not have much pressure or are giving way to all the weight. Of course, there is no doubt that the invention works reasonably and that it will always be more comfortable than carrying them on your back.
Of course, we leave the security thing for another time…
