The third wheel is the trailers wheel #2. It's not attached to the truck.
Trailers do not have front axles, at least not this kind of trailers (semitrailer, according to wikipedia)
25,25 meters and 60 ton total...
Here is a picture of a similar truck http://www.nyscan.dk/Images/jpg_lrg_modul_k%C3%B8ge_tcm571-225103.jpg
That looks like one serious design flaw. You would never want your front steering wheels to leave the ground.

A lot of heavy truck and trailer suspensions are like that, both rear axles are solidly mounted on each end of an arm that is attached to the frame at a single point in the middle, like a teeter-totter. That way, as an axle passes over a speed bump, for example, the frame only rises half as much as the wheel.
the reason its possible is the wheelbase of the tractor, in USA we have 250-300 inch wheelbases and it wont allow the front to come up, with that truck the wheelbase is 160-180 and its possible, straight 6 turbo diesels will put 6000ftlbs of torque to the ground and lifting a 8000lb cab is possible, no trick effects, no magic, nothing out of the ordinary, just a unique situation.... im a truck driver
We call them B-Doubles in Australia. A prime mover with two trailers. If you drive up a grade and plant your foot you can lift the steer wheels off the ground, some times on level ground as well. Nothing special about it, my truck will do it with out much effort. But it is not advised.
