Other mods I've made: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2689365444

For ATS version 1.45+. I haven't tested this version in pre-1.45, so it may or may not work pre-1.45.

New in version 10.1:
  • Added support for Nebraska and Arkansas.
  • Added "Skidder" from Forest Harvesting DLC update.

Inspired by Sarchi's mod. Completely reworks the SCS lowboys with single, double, triple, and quad configurations.

Features:
  • Supports all customization the SCS lowboys do
  • Removed weight limits on all lowboys
  • New lowboy configs: single (2 configs), double (4 configs), triple (2 configs), quads (2 configs)
  • 2x weight versions of cargo (including cargo from forest machinery dlc, heavy cargo dlc, volvo construction dlc). You will only see cargoes for the dlcs you own. SCS lowboys might not be able to take 2x weight cargoes.
  • 2x weight cargoes pay twice as much, but also take twice as much time to load/unload (see table below)

In convoy, the person with the smallest/lowest capacity trailer should take the job first, or else you may get "mass limit exceeded" error. If someone is using an SCS lowboy, they should also take the job first.

You may experience clipping through walls etc. To get unstuck, enable developer mode (instructions here: https://guides.gamepressure.com/americantrucksimulator/guide.asp?ID=33754 ), press 0 to activate the free camera, use 8, 4, 5, 6 on the numpad like WASD and the mouse to move the free camera, and press CTRL+F9 to teleport your truck and trailer (make sure the camera is slightly above the road surface when you do this, or else you will get extra damage from falling out of the sky or clipping into the ground).

Triple lowboy (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)

New in version 7.0 is a triple lowboy (6 axles, 216 cubic meters). 155 feet long, will not fit pretty much anywhere, practically guaranteed to cause clipping (the game's collision detection freaks out and will throw your truck and trailer all over the place, causing massive damage, including to cargo). Use the instructions above to get out of clipping. Using a no-damage mod is STRONGLY recommended with the triple lowboy! I have no intentions to make a 9-axle triple: that would be 170 feet long, and 6-axle triple is already probably more hassle than it's worth for most people.

hope this gets updated. great mod but a lot of stuff isnt showing up on the trailer now after the update

Since the latest ATS update 2X cargo loads do not show up on the trailer. Even though you have the load on the trailer you cant see the load. Is there a fix for this?

I've seen people running these double lowboys like this online in a convoy in a lobby with no mods. Anyone know how they did that?

Hey, did anyone else have a problem with this mod that the state flags turn into a pink rectangle? (I mean in the menu, where you can check the "local laws")
It happens in older DLC/states (California, Wyoming...)
Is there a solution for this? :greasysideup:
